Ice Cube has hit back at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, accusing the NBA star of being a Judas after he criticized the rapper and several other black celebrities for their anti-Semitic tweets which he called a 'troubling omen' for the Black Lives Matter movement.
In a scathing column published in The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday, Jabbar called out Ice Cube, NFL star DeSean Jackson and fellow NBA player Stephen Jackson for recent social media posts containing anti-Semitic messages, some of which promoted the controversial views of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
Jabbar referred to a series of tweets by Ice Cube last month that contained 'creepy symbols and images' implying Jews were responsible for the oppression of blacks.
He also criticized Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson who drew backlash earlier this month for sharing quotes attributed to Adolf Hitler and voicing support for Farrakhan.
Jabbar slammed the 'lack of massive indignation' over the posts, saying he was shocked to see little public outrage over displays of anti-Semitism amid the 'new Woke-fulness in Hollywood.'
'It's so disheartening to see people from groups that have been violently marginalized do the same thing to others without realizing that perpetuating this kind of bad logic is what perpetuates racism,' Jabbar wrote.
Ice Cube later fired back at Jabbar accusing him of selling out to write the take-down piece.
'Shame on the Hollywood Reporter who obviously gave my brother Kareem 30 pieces of silver to cut us down without even a phone call,' he tweeted on Wednesday.

Ice Cube would melt in the Thunderdome.
And he stole his moniker from Iceberg Slim.
All the rapper wannabes read his book “Pimp” when they were growing up.
Mr. Cannon said that white people are inferior to black people, that they genetically don’t have the compassionate soul and that they are animalistic and bestial.
recent episode of his podcast Cannons Class, Cannon discussed race and racism with former Public Enemy member Richard Professor Griff Griffin. Referencing the ideas of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, Cannon said that people who have the lack of pigment are a little less than those who do, and have a lack of compassion. He continued, Theyre acting out of fear. Theyre acting out of low self esteem. Theyre acting out of a deficiency. So therefore the only way they can act is evil. They have to rob, steal, rape and [unintelligible] in order to survive.
Hey, I've got 4 Fs:
Filthy
Fascist
Farrakhan
Fan
Thanks, I know that part.
What I don't understand is the Ice Cube and the Jabbar thing.
I read Jabbars' Hollywood Reporter article and it was like reading a word jumble.
I have no idea what Cube and Jabbar are talking about.
I agree with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on little but I do thank him for his courage and decency in calling out anti-Semite black athletes.
Yes it was hilarious. He had so many great lines, but introducing Kathy Griffin as “Tranny Bonaduce” was priceless.
LOL!!
I gat $20 bucks that say Kareem kicks Cubes ass.
He did study under Bruce Lee.
Re Ice Cube - No more ‘Friday’ Movies or “Ghosts of Mars”. What a shame that Ice-Cube is more like polluted ice than clean water.
BLM and all its celebrity supporters are very anti-Semitic.
DAYum, what has happened to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar aka the former Lew Alcindor!!?
Has he finally embraced the good side of the Force?
Is the wall of militant black solidarity beginning to crumble like the German dams blasted by Dambusters?
It would be interesting if someone were to confront this guy and tell him thusly: if white people are as you say, then what would you say if the whites simply decided to separate themselves from you.
Would that not be for the best?
You go your way, they go their way.
