To many, there is a clear difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, as made evident by Kanye West's online outbursts and controversial new songs. In surprise to no one, Australia revoked Ye's visa and denied the rapper entry to the country, citing his recent track "Heil Hitler" and overall neo-Nazi bullshit as something the country wants nothing to do with.

Australian Immigration Minister Tony Burke announced the news to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Afternoon Briefing:

“He’s made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again once he released [that] song. He’s got family here … It wasn’t a visa for the purpose of concerts. It was a lower-level [visa] and the officials still looked at the law and said, ‘If you’re going to have a song and promote that sort of Nazism, we don’t need that in Australia.'”

Burke made the announcement during a discussion about the Australian government canceling the visa of Israeli-American tech advocate Hillel Fuld for Islamophobic comments.

"If someone argued that antisemitism was rational, I would not let them come here on a speaking tour. And if someone has the same view of Islamophobia, I don't want them here when the purpose of the visa is to give public speeches."

Burke said a "stricter line" applied to those who want to visit Down Under for purposes of public advocacy and that Ye is the only instance he could recall where a visa was canceled for reasons other than public advocacy.

He also added that while there wasn't a permanent ban, visa applications are reassessed each time in accordance with Australian law:

"I'm not taking away the way the act operates, but even for the lowest level of visa, when my officials looked at it, they cancelled that following the announcement of that song. We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry."

Back in May, digital streaming providers pulled the track from their respective catalogs, which drew complaints from Ye on X, formerly known as Twitter. He also released a music video for the track, which features actors chanting the titular Nazi phrase.
