Kanye West recently wrote a Hebrew word upon his comeback to Twitter. His timing couldn’t have been more in sync. On Sunday night, Kyrie Irving was back to play with the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA, following his suspension. Irving had already missed eight games after being suspended for posting a link to a film that contained antisemitic material. Prior to the game, Irving issued another apology, stating that he does not stand for any hate speech or anti-semitism.
West tweeted, “Shalom”.The word ‘shalom’ is synonymous with ‘peace’ and is widely considered to be a polite greeting.
