Kyrie Irvings suspension from the NBA came one week after the basketball star posted a link to a controversial movie that has been called antisemitic. But as the Brooklyn Nets starting point guard begins sitting out at least five games for the offense, the movie in question remains available for viewing and for sale on Amazon.com, the e-tail giant that has seemingly emerged unscathed in the antisemitism scandal that is still unfolding.
A growing chorus of voices that are critical of Irving have also wondered out loud why Amazon is still peddling the movie, Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America.

To be sure, the director of the documentary is a holocaust-denier who included a fake quote attributed to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. At face value, those facts are undeniably antisemitic.
All of which begs the following question from critics: Why does it appear that Irving is being singled out while Amazon.com and its multi-billionaire owner Jeff Bezos continue to profit from not only the film but also several versions of the book adaptation?
