Rabbi Shmuley Boteach Isn’t Buying Kanye’s Apology for Antisemitism

Kanye West‘s most recent apology for his antisemitism is falling flat … at least as far as Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is concerned.

Rabbi Shmuley, an influential American rabbi and TV personality, took a blowtorch to the full-page ad Ye took out in The Wall Street Journal apologizing to “Those I’ve Hurt.”

Ye, in part, blamed a car crash that nearly killed him 25 years ago for his hate speech … but the rabbi says Kanye is far from the first person to blame a blow to the head on antisemitism. Then he doubled down and insisted his apology is not a P.R. stunt ahead of his album release Friday … Boteach is calling B.S.

Rabbi Shmuley says Ye is a straight-up “American Nazi” and the biggest thing missing from the apology — which Shmuley says probably cost around $75,000 — is any mention of Kanye’s “Heil Hitler” track.

Shmuley lives in Miami and says the song is being played in clubs in Miami and beyond … and he tells us the three things he thinks Ye needs to do to make his apology feel more sincere … watch the video.

Bottom line … Rabbi Shmuley says Kanye has Jewish blood on his hands, albeit indirectly, and he unloads on him in epic fashion here.
