Jewish advocacy group Anti-Defamation League has responded to Ye’s 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,” their statement reads. “Ultimately, actions will speak louder than words but this initial act of contrition is welcome.”
