'Y'all Country Is Nuts': Citing Racism, U.S. Rapper Azealia Banks Vows to 'Never Ever Ever' Visit Israel Again
Banks went on a tweetstorm about the racism and rudeness she says she experienced while in Israel for her concert in Tel Aviv
American rapper Azealia Banks vowed on Wednesday never to visit Israel again, claiming she encountered racism while in the country for her show in Tel Aviv on Monday.
Banks said she was treated badly on account of her skin color on multiple occasions, claiming that a rabbi sitting next to her on the plane offered her money for sex, and that service vendors in Tel Aviv treated her badly because she’s black. She also said she was held up at Ben-Gurion International Airport because of her skin color.
“I will never ever ever ever ever go to Israel again. I love my fans but y’all gonna have to fly out to come see me because y’all country is nuts,” Banks tweeted. ..........
...“No some old Jewish lady on my el al flight screamed at me in front of the whole plane for trying to put my bag where hers was. It was so racist I sat in my seat and cried,” another alleged....
She also claims to have been held up at the airport upon her arrival because her passport was in ratty condition. While in Israel, she tweeted complaints about Israelis and Tel Aviv that she later deleted.
In addition, she claims her suitcase got lost due to racism. “How much y’all wanna bet these racists at this airline lost my bag on pudpose,” she tweeted. “Why are these people like this? I don’t understand... the amount of times I’ve been purposefully coughed on, stepped on, cut in line is tooooo much."

Gosh, bummer. Israel’s loss, I’m sure.
It’s good that others around the world see what we put up with - some on a daily basis from spoiled types like her.
Hopefully that's typo.
My gawd! Everything is racist to this snowflake! This b**ch sees the world through the lens of skin color. Doesn’t matter what happens to her, it will be filtered through the skin color lens. Professional victim. And people pay to hear this crap!
Wake up azelia! You’re just not that important nor are you a target. Rudeness and lost luggage happens every damn day to us regular folk too. It’s human nature honey, not cuz you black.
The sub-set of Hasids to which you refer are not racist.
They are assholes, in general, and treat anyone (including other Hasidic Jewish people not in their particular sect) like crap.
Change her name from Azaelia to Ragweed.
Everything is racist to black culture. It's how they roll. Anytime a black gets deferential treatment for being black, whether it's points added (unfairly) to med school exams, affirmative action scholarships, et al, it's all a part of the same scam, and they're all guilty.
Yep, explains it all.
Damn those Jewish klansmen losing peoples' bags on pudpose!
Hillary thought everyone loved her too
Translation...well,that doesn't really require a translation.Never mind!
“Y’all can’ts speak right”
So she’s saying that the stingy Jews didn’t pay her the “real money”?
Playground antics pay off millions.
>>the amount of times I’ve been ...cut in line is tooooo much.”
In Roger Ebert’s book about the Cannes film festival, there is a line waiting to get to see some buzz film. As the doors open, other people rush inside the theater.
When the British people in line complained about the others cutting in front of the line, the retort heard was “if the British LIKE waiting in queues, let them!”
It may be cultural to the old world, and not specifically Israel or Jews or even because you are black.
The amount of times I’ve been cut in line in congested traffic is TOOOOOO MUCH and that is here in the USA, especially cuts by people of color.
If we’d ever sent her over again, Israel might have considered that an act of war.
Ironic to say the least in a country that has black Jews.
Her problem is she is used to being treated like an entitled black women in America...
In Israel she just an American rapper....a foreigner...with an attitude....
