The Anti-Defamation League has responded to Kanye West’s Christmas apology.
“After causing untold damage by using his vast influence and platform to poison countless minds with vicious antisemitism and hate, an apology in Hebrew may be the first step on a long journey towards making amends to the Jewish community and all those who he has hurt,” they wrote in a statement. “Ultimately, actions will speak louder than words but this initial act of contrition is welcome.”

Kanye’s first post on Instagram since he was allowed back onto the platform, was an apology written in Hebrew.
“I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for my unplanned outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future,” he wrote. “Your forgiveness is important to me and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.”
Some folks think his apology wont last and that he’ll be back to ranting in no time. Has Ye learned his lesson?
