ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt let it be known on Sunday that if Kanye "Ye" West wants to "make amends" with the Jewish community it's going to be "a long road" and "he hasn't even started the journey." "This is ridiculous and not remotely serious," Greenblatt said, quoting Ye's post about "lik[ing] Jewish people again" after watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street. "If Kanye West wants to make amends for his vile #antisemitism, and to heal the pain he inflicted, it's a long road and he hasn't even started the journey."
As a reminder, this was the list of "six action items" that Kyrie Irving was told "he must complete" in order to play again in the NBA. From The Athletic, "Nets inform Kyrie Irving of 6 action items to complete to return from suspension: Sources": 1. Issue an apology for posting a link to the movie on Oct. 27, condemn the harmful and false content and make clear that he does not have anti-Jewish beliefs.That was all ordered just for sending one tweet linking to a documentary which talked about the Jewish role in the slave trade. Ye's public statements were a wee bit more fiery, to say the least. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt told The Breakfast Club in December that he organized the cancelation of Ye because "if we don't get him" then the "myth" of Jewish power will spread.
