Popular American rapper Kanye West will have to do much more if he wants to apologize for his anti-Semitic attacks he posted antisemitic tropes on his social media accounts.

This was made known in a statement issued by the Jewish organizations, StopAntisemitism and the American Jewish Organization which say it’s inadequate, especially after the harm he caused.

“It is a little odd that all it might take for Kanye to renounce his vile antisemitism is to watch an 11-year-old Jonah Hill movie. Whether Kanye is sincere, only he knows,” AJC rep Richard Hirschhaut said.

“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,” said Liora Rez, executive director of StopAntisemitism.

The statement was issued after Kanye West returned to social media after a long break to disavow the anti-semitic tropes he spewed on platforms like Drink Champs and Fox News in 2022.

“Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again,” Ye wrote on Instagram. “No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people.”

The rapper went on to add; “No Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew… Thank you Jonah Hill. I love you.”
