Kanye West watching an old Jonah Hill movie and saying it made him like Jewish people again does not erase his antisemitism … not in the eyes of some prominent Jewish orgs.
Liora Rez, SA’s Executive Director, tells TMZ, “Joking about a movie with Jonah Hill is not the apology that the Jewish people deserve from Kanye, particularly when his antisemitic tirades continue to have a dangerous trickle-down effect of hatred against Jews.”
The AJC isn’t rushing to forgive Kanye just yet either, with spokesperson Richard Hirschhaut telling TMZ … “It is a little odd that all it might take for Kanye to renounce his vile antisemitism is to watch and 11-year-old Jonah hill movie. Whether Kanye is sincere, only he knows.”
The AJC says Kanye’s still got a lot of explaining and apologizing to do, but they’re willing to meet with him in his effort to turn the page, do the right thing, and become better a better person … if he’s being authentic
