Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said Wednesday the company does not have plans to stop selling an antisemitic film that gained notoriety recently after Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving tweeted out an Amazon link to it.
Pressure has been mounting on Amazon to discontinue sale of the film, called"Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America," since Irving shared the link to the documentary with his millions of Twitter followers in October. The synopsis on Amazon says the film"uncovers the true identity of the Children of Israel.
"As a retailer of content to hundreds of millions of customers with a lot of different viewpoints, we have to allow access to those viewpoints, even if they are objectionable — objectionable and they differ from our particular viewpoints,"He said making decisions about what content to take down is"more straight forward" in some cases, such as when it"actively incites or promotes violence, or teaches people to do things like pedophilia.
Dozens of celebrities, public figures as well as Jewish organizations and the Nets have called on the company to take down the film or add a disclaimer offering an explanation as to why the documentary and related book are problematic.
Perhaps slam a huge 'ANTISEMITIC CONTENT' label on the anti-sematic content
Yo amazon ….wondering if you are selling an Hitler on the site……
Yeah I don’t even have an account w/them. Don’t want one.
Ok, fine. But why can’t we watch a couple episodes of alwayssunny where the characters have on blackface? It was done to show the ignorance of the characters. Antisemitism is ok, but societal satire isn’t?
Gross!
amazon looks like I’ll be canceling my subscription until this changes.
Of course not. Capitalism, and the oligarchs that own it, has no heart, no soul, no morals, no ethics, and couldn't care less about the hate and acts of violence their dangerous product will inflict in this country and others.
The books and documentary HebrewsToNegroes can also be rented or purchased on multiple websites not just on Amazon.
I'll be checking out Macys online site.
The banality of evil.
As long as Amazon can make a buck off of it, they’re absolutely fine with antisemitism.
Might lay off some more people though.

The only reason democrats split the rail deal in two (one to force them to accept the current terms and a separate one with paid sick days) is so the unpopular one passes, and the popular one doesn’t, and they go “well, we tried!!”, no, you didn’t. WildcatStrike railstrike
amazon has continued to go downhill for the last two years. They gave false advertising on their site! Customer service sucks! Walmart pricing & delivery is a better option now!
So does this make liberal Andy as guilty as Trump.
Now do we list stuff Amazon censored
They cant even get an order right. Bout done with Amazon too
Black man tweets film a big uproar. White men sell to make money from the film with no problem.
Fantastic! Now the MSM has a new billionaire target that does not believe in censorship... I'm sure Elon won't be bothered sharing... What is the over/under on when AOC and Elizabeth Warren will gaslight this one.
hahhahaha tweeting the movie gets you canceled but not directing it, producing it, or hosting it. 🤡 🌎
