Kanye West has made plenty of inflammatory comments about the Jewish community over the last couple of years or so. Overall, it has been pretty disgusting to watch play out. Furthermore, Ye has been showcasing a ton of Nazi-inspired imagery amid his rollout for Vultures. Fans feel as though they cannot take it anymore, and there is no doubt that the whole thing is pretty distressing. Having said that, it seems like Ye has decided to have a change of heart and apologize.
Below, you can find an Instagram post from Ye in Hebrew. However, what is interesting about all of this is it comes mere hours after a story involving former MMA fighter Haim Gozali. According to TMZ, the Israeli soldier wrote Ye's name on a rocket that was intended for Gaza. Overall, it is unknown whether Ye's apology was a direct response to this. Although when you think of the timing, it is interesting. However, Ye could just be feeling like an apology is warranted given the fact that it is the Holidays.
