West made the conscious decision to participate in a rally, organized and run by someone identified by the Anti Defamation League as one of the principal sources of anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy theories on the internet.

9/11 anti-Semitic conspiracy theories are now more influentially being promoted by a network of anti-Israel conspiracists who endorse and reinforce each other's work. They blame Israel for numerous nefarious deeds and false flag operations.
Among the key figures in this group of conspiracists are Gordon Duff, who runs the anti-Semitic Web site Veterans Today; Alan Sabrosky, a former U.S. Army War College instructor who writes for Veterans Today; and Kevin Barrett, who runs the Truth Jihad Web site and Internet radio show. They have become the most popular promoters of theories claiming that Israelis and Jewish members of the Bush Administration carried out the 9/11 attacks as a false flag operation to provoke a war against Israel's enemies.

Kevin Barrett
Barrett is a former instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who currently runs the Truth Jihad Web site and Internet radio show and is a co-founder of Muslims for 9/11 Truth which appears to consist mostly of a blog that refutes the idea that any Muslims were behind the 9/11 attacks. Barrett uses his radio show to offer a platform to other 9/11 conspiracists, including Gordon Duff and Alan Sabrosky. Although Barrett first gained national media attention for his view that the U.S. government was behind the 9/11 attacks, he has since made statements in which he alleges that Israel was also involved in the attacks. Like Duff, Sabrosky, and Fetzer, Barrett's views of 9/11 are inextricably linked to his anti-Zionist views. Barrett also has stated that he has been influenced by Christopher Bollyn, an anti-Semite and one of the earliest promoters of anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy theories.
In his 2007 book, Truth Jihad: My Epic Struggle against the 9/11 Big Lie, Barrett compares neo-conservative members of the Bush administration to Hitler, whom he claims was one of their mentors. "Terrified by their collapsing minds," he writes, "and the impending collapses of Israel and the American empire it depends on, the neocon crazies set off the 9/11 firecracker, crawled out of the basement, and imposed their madness on the nation and the world."
In an April 2011 interview on Intifada-Palestine, an anti-Israel Web site that features the works of several conspiratorial anti-Israel and anti-Semitic writers," Barrett declares, "I know, not just believe, that 9/11 was a false-flag attack, that many individuals at or near the top of the US Executive Branch, military, and intelligence apparatus were complicit in the attack, and that the state of Israel and its American agents were heavily involved."
In a July 2011 interview between Barrett and Alan Sabrosky on "Truth Jihad Radio," the two repeatedly refer to Israel's alleged role in the 9/11 attacks and Zionist control of the government and media.
Barrett and Sabrosky agreed that the way to expose Israel's alleged crimes is to tie that country to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Barrett notes that he's been trying to get people to look at Israel's supposed role in the 9/11 attacks for years.
Barrett is the National Communications Director for the American Muslim PAC, the group organizing The Million Muslim March.
