LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kanye West has decided to finally end the controversy surrounding his repeated attack on the Jewish community.

The ‘Runaway’ star issued an apology over his reactivated Instagram page on Tuesday, December 26.

The 46-year-old star wrote in Hebrew, "I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions.”

The apology stated, "It was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused."

Continuing the message, West discussed unity and the goal of bringing people together, saying, "I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity."

Kanye's latest anti-semitic statement

The multiple Grammy award-winning rapper was involved in yet another anti-semitic outburst this month when he told a crowd that "all the rich f***s" in the room have their children in "Zionist schools."

According to a video shared by TMZ, West incorrectly asserted, "It's 60 million of us in America, 60 million Jews in the world. 50 percent of our deaths are abortion, 25 percent of us go to prison... raise your hand if you ever got an abortion."

“If we were in a Jewish... every mother would raise their hands. Who's going to make the hospitals, though? He's a Zionist, Trump. This is what I've been trying to tell you. Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye, third party, sponsor that!"

He continued, “'They can't f*****g touch me because God covers me.”

West’s latest single lyrics are "offensive" to many Jews, “How am I anti-Semitic? I just f***ed a Jewish b***h.”



 

Reactions to Kanye West's apology

There were immediate reactions to the Instagram post, with one person writing, "We won't accept forgiveness, be careful."

The second said, “Calling yourself Hitler has kinda ruined relationships and slowed up opportunities hasn’t it?”

The third user commented, “This is an apology and admission of wrongdoing. However, posting it in English would allow those who don’t speak Hebrew to also be aware of what he did. Posting it in Hebrew is a closeted apology.”

Another said, "I'm not buying it, but I don't mind being proven wrong."
