But please don’t say there has been no increase in antisemitism. The ugliness is everywhere. Including in Yonkers NY where a Jewish HS ( The Leffell School) basketball team was playing Roosevelt HS.

They had to stop the game because the players on Roosevelt’s team were roughing them up and playing violently. They also shouted antisemitic slurs.

It seems that one of the slurs they shouted was “Free Palestine” during the game, while another one was “I’m pro-Hamas you f%#^*ing Jew”. Let’s just see if they suffer any consequences.

I am sure there is an increase in antisemitism. The behavior at the basketball game is horrible, especially roughing up other players. "Free Palestine" is not antisemitic (one can be sympathetic to Palestinians' political aspirations without having any animosity toward Jews), but the other statement you mention is repugnant. Nobody should say that, and I hope the players will be disciplined.

Free Palestine is not, nor will it ever be, an anti-semitic remark.

And yet a coach and a player suffered IMMEDIATE and SERIOUS consequences - which is exactly what happens EVERY TIME anyone dares to criticize the sacred cow / the 21st century Voldemort / whatever.

This douchenozzle PP jazz hands'd away the FACT of a 6 year old kid being savagely slaughtered in a murderous act of Islamophobia, the FACT of three young men being sprayed with bullets in another murderous act of Islamophobia (one of them now paralyzed), the FACT of a deranged Jewish school teacher threatening to behead a student in yet another act of Islamophobic violence ... because some kids were scared of loud noises on library doors that one time. They asserted that certain language was used (there's no evidence of that, apparently), they asserted that the other team was "roughed up" (there's no evidence of that, apparently). All because Hasbara, and one group's seemingly never-ending campaign to slander critics of Israel and cast itself as victims.

Sincerely, why? Why do we have to deal with this insanity?

You omitted the part where the suspended basketball player said to the Jewish players “you fing Jew”. What does a teenage girl basketball player have to do with the conflict? All didn’t mention how the team tried to rough up the Jewish basketball team. Well deserved firing and suspension.

What doIvy League presidents have to do with the current conflict?

So it’s ok to call teenage girls “fking” Jews now? Got it, pos.

Did you read the latest update. The student who wrote the story that slurs were used has been unveiled as a liar by the adults who were there, on both sides. Sad, but par.

There’s no latest update. But you want to drag teenage girls and justify calling them fing Jews, way to show your antisemitism. Stop making stuff up.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/08/us/new-york-high-school-basketball-investigation-antisemitic-comment/index.html

It may turn out that more was said and/or done, but as it stands, it’s looking like Robin Bosworth is a liar, and that she fabricated (or at least greatly embellished) what went down.

I read the cnn article. The harassment was bad enough the game was cut half way. And I wonder how you would feel if someone just yelled 9/11 at a brown sports team or China fly at an Asian team. It’s racist then and it’s racist in this case even if the only thing said was free Palestine’s stop defending the indefensible.

The game was ended after the third quarter. Unfortunately, Ms. Bosworth and her teammates are learning a hard lesson that violent oppression has consequences, and sometimes innocents are caught up in the crosshairs. I mean, that's what we're told the loved ones of the tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians being blown to smithereens in Gaza should do, right? Just accept it and stop complaining ...

That said, it's looking like fabrications may have been published by Ms. Bosworth. If so, I have a hell of a bigger problem with THAT than I do anyone saying Free Palestine in any context. And why shouldn't I? If you're against freedom for the Palestinian people, you are an enemy of peace and human rights. I don't support liars and I definitely don't support enemies of peace and human rights, whether it's Israel or Hamas or Robin Bosworth herself. If it turns out she's telling the truth, serious consequences have already been doled out. But if it turns out she fabricated or embellished what occurred, she should be suspended from her school for the same period of time that the opposing team's player was suspended. Wanna bet how little consequence she will face if found to have lied?

So you are justifying bullying Jewish girls for what you perceive are Israel’s actions. And this is not anti semitism?
You raging anti semite.

Free Palestine and criticisms of Israel’s actions that are more than deserving of criticism (i.e., the entire body of their actions toward the indigenous people of the Middle East over the past 75 years) will NEVER amount to anti-semitism, no matter how hard you try to keep yourself in the limelight as the professional victim class. I’ll criticize Israel and Hamas all I want, and you can pound sand.

Sure but why are you yelling at this at non Israeli teenage girls playing a basketball game just because they are Jewish?

According to the updated story on CNN, one person said “Free Palestine”. One person. The coach was discharged and a player was suspended. Apologies were issued. Apparently for saying “Free Palestine”, which is an appeal that every compassionate human being should support. After all, the alternative is oppression, brutal subjugation, and slavery.

If those continue to be the facts, I’d say far more than enough has already been done. So unless and until the investigation finds more, there’s nothing left to say at this point.

However, with the demonstrated blind, unconditional, and frankly rabid support of Israel by a large portion of Jews in America, it’s not too hard to imagine hostilities toward that segment for both their actions and the actions of the state-sponsored terrorism that they support with outspoken zeal. What’s happening in the Middle East is reprehensible.

If you support the acts of any of the bad actors (including and perhaps especially Israel), you’re part of the problem. And people may yell at you. It’s the price of oppression, I guess.

That’s not an updated story. That is cnn’s version of the story. The allegations are that the girl said “I support Hamas, you fing jew”. And that the Jewish team was being roughed up on the court. Until the facts are out you don’t have a leg to stand on. And the fact that they did review video and decide to suspend the girl speaks volunteers.

https://www.thenation.com/article/society/there-is-no-space-in-the-sports-world-to-call-for-a-free-palestine/

And THAT is why an example had to be made of the coach and player - to satisfy this sick vengeful bloodlust that must be sated whenever anyone dares to criticize the sacred cow. It had nothing to do with the actual events of the game, we've been told by a major international news media outlet. I choose to believe them over a student athlete who is claiming otherwise.

So yeah, it IS an updated story. And thus far, nothing otherwise has emerged that justified these actions. If / when anything does, the topic can be re-visited. But for now, "Free Palestine" is a perfectly acceptable way for one to exercise their 1A rights to oppose oppression, brutal subjugation, and slavery. Hypocritical thugs like Ackman can go after them all they want, but they are eventually going to run out of dry powder on this issue.

Blah blah blah. Truth is the girl would not have been suspended if all she said was free Palestine. She could have screamed free Palestine the entire match and no one would have blinked an eye. You are wasting your time, go yell free Palestine somewhere.

I'm sure you would LOVE for people like me to stop talking about it, right! Uh, wouldn't that be great??? You can continue being a miserable POS supporting an apartheid terrorist state without anyone questions your morals!!! But no.

But as to your lazy retort, why is CNN hiding all those people that heard more? CNN in on the anti-semitism campaign, too???

NP here. People “like you” only talk about this anonymously on this board. Maybe you also frequent Reddit. The truth is, this site is an outlet for all your delusions and spitefulness. You clearly missed the part from the CNN article where they describe interviews with game officials, players and coaches. CNN does not owe you the exact quotes of the type of antisemitic comments hurled at the girls. And if they did specify what was said to the Jewish girls, you would have come back here saying that the statements are not antisemitic. Because, after all, you are the great judge who gets to decide what is and not antisemitic.

The CNN article literally says the only thing the adults present confirmed was said was Free Palestine. That’s who they were interviewing.

It’s Ok to admit you were wrong on this one. There’s a lot of that in this issue where people get attached to the first version of something they hear and then can’t get unstuck.

Please show me where CNN “literally says the only thing the adults present confirmed was said was Free Palestine” https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/01/07/us/new-york-high-school-basketball-antisemitic-comments/index.html

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/07/us/new-york-high-school-basketball-antisemitic-comments/index.html

Please show me where you didn't admit to beating your children last year, but not every day anyway.

See how asinine your demands are?

They don't need to say LITERALLY. They said one person said it. That's enough to conclude that they didn't hear from any witnesses (yet, anyway) that more than one person said that, or anything else that was alleged by Lady Bosworth.

OMFG where do they say that in the CNN article? Did you even read it? Copy and paste your evidence.

I didn’t know who Blinken was until Biden nominated him to be Sec of State. But I liked what I saw in his testimony on the Hill and was prepared to be impressed (I think our Sec of State should be someone who is a foreign policy specialist rather than a politician like Kerry or HRC).

But he has really messed up on this whole Gaza war. He put himself out there by identifying with the Israelis too much. He should have tried to appear more neutral (even if his policies were exactly the same). He annoys me by appearing unreasonably biased in favor of Israel and I am not Muslim or Palestinian. I can’t imagine that they think of him as anything but an extension of Bibi. It’s amazing how poorly he has performed. Just appearing to care a little bit about the damage caused by Israel could have gone such a long way even if the US continued to be a strong and stalwart ally of Israel.

I really do get how easy it is to believe the first version of a story. No one—
On either side of this issue— is completely immune. But the key is to recognize when we’ve let that impulse
run away with us and reassess with more information.

Where's the beef? They also described "one person saying Free Palestine", which any reasonable person who conclude involved their review of evidence from ALL OF THOSE GAME OFFICIALS, PLAYERS, AND COACHES. So yeah, you're wrong. Again. It's a pattern.

Where does it say that in the CNN article? Copy and paste that. You have been coming back and saying that without showing where specifically it says that in the article. You know the article that mentions VIDEO evidence, and the fact that the investigation still ongoing. What the article failed to mention is the fact that Roosevelt high forfeited the game, the fact that coach Williams asked his players to apologize.

Let's start with the bloody headline: Someone allegedly said ‘Free Palestine’ during the high school basketball game that led to coach and player’s dismissal

And then let's proceed to the body of the article: Luis Rodriguez, interim superintendent of Yonkers Public Schools, told CNN as of Monday afternoon, the investigation had found someone said “Free Palestine.” Adults who were present did not report hearing anything else, but officials probing the incident are still talking to others who were at the game, he said. There is no evidence anything was chanted, he added.

Someone said "Free Palestine". Adults who were present did not report hearing anything else. Officials are still probing the incident. There is no evidence anything was chanted.

How bad are you when it comes to debate? I just literally flayed you up one side and down the other, citing the primary source of EXACTLY what I've said all along, and yet I'm near certain you're going to be reckless enough to come back here for another walloping. Look, I'm sure your strategy is to deflect from the focus of the thread, which is the conduct of the monstrous apartheid movement you support, but it's getting old for even the people who know what you're up to. Go plagiarize or extrajudicially murder or live on U.S. welfare somewhere else, clown.

Reasonable. Still going to get the "Let me tell you what you REALLY think, you anti-semite bastard!" once over ...

I really feel like this should be added to the post immediately above, because a real person with a real career is being targeted here:

Luis Rodriguez, interim superintendent of Yonkers Public Schools, told CNN as of Monday afternoon, the investigation had found someone said “Free Palestine.” Adults who were present did not report hearing anything else, but officials probing the incident are still talking to others who were at the game, he said. There is no evidence anything was chanted, he added.

The separation of the coach was mutual and “in no way infers that the coach participated condoned, acquiesced in any (antisemitic) behavior,” Rodriguez said. Officials have not identified the coach or the player who were dismissed.

According to the WP, in private conversations, the White House warned Israel against escalation in Lebanon as officials fear the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) may struggle to succeed due to "its military assets and resources would be spread too thin given the conflict in Gaza," the report cited two people familiar with a new secret assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).

Officials fear that a full-scale conflict between Israel and Lebanon would surpass the bloodshed of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war on account of Hezbollah's substantially larger arsenal of long-range and precision weaponry," read the report based on interviews with over a dozen of administration officials and diplomats.

Bilal Saab, a Lebanon expert at the Middle East Institute, a Washington think tank, cited by the article, said that "the number of casualties in Lebanon could be anywhere from 300,000 to 500,000 and entail a massive evacuation of all of northern Israel."

Biden's administration appears alarmed that Hezbollah could strike deeper into Israeli territory than before, "hitting sensitive targets like petrochemical plants and nuclear reactors, and Iran may activate militias across the region."

A war with Hezbollah would be much more serious than the one with Hamas. Everyone in northern Israel and southern Lebanon would have to evacuate. Hezbollah - an Iranian proxy army - is much stronger than Hamas. It'd be a difficult war.

I don't think most Israelis want a two front war. I'm sure the IDF doesn't want it. But you never know about Netanyahu and the hard right settlers in the government.

A lot depends on Hezbollah and whether they want to engage. Presently, it's mostly nuisance. It's up to Tehran.

Israel has air power though. So the end result is a foregone conclusion. But it would be a miserable slog, and people in Lebanon certainly don't want it either.

But please don’t say there has been no increase in antisemitism. The ugliness is everywhere. Including in Yonkers NY where a Jewish HS ( The Leffell School) basketball team was playing Roosevelt HS.

They had to stop the game because the players on Roosevelt’s team were roughing them up and playing violently. They also shouted antisemitic slurs.

It seems that one of the slurs they shouted was “Free Palestine” during the game, while another one was “I’m pro-Hamas you f%#^*ing Jew”. Let’s just see if they suffer any consequences.

https://twitter.com/tararosenblum/status/1744019690412777848?s=46&t=XhMk6KgBaubAd8DNh_wEeQ

I am sure there is an increase in antisemitism. The behavior at the basketball game is horrible, especially roughing up other players. "Free Palestine" is not antisemitic (one can be sympathetic to Palestinians' political aspirations without having any animosity toward Jews), but the other statement you mention is repugnant. Nobody should say that, and I hope the players will be disciplined.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/08/us/new-york-high-school-basketball-investigation-antisemitic-comment/index.html

Free Palestine is not, nor will it ever be, an anti-semitic remark.

And yet a coach and a player suffered IMMEDIATE and SERIOUS consequences - which is exactly what happens EVERY TIME anyone dares to criticize the sacred cow / the 21st century Voldemort / whatever.

This douchenozzle PP jazz hands'd away the FACT of a 6 year old kid being savagely slaughtered in a murderous act of Islamophobia, the FACT of three young men being sprayed with bullets in another murderous act of Islamophobia (one of them now paralyzed), the FACT of a deranged Jewish school teacher threatening to behead a student in yet another act of Islamophobic violence ... because some kids were scared of loud noises on library doors that one time. They asserted that certain language was used (there's no evidence of that, apparently), they asserted that the other team was "roughed up" (there's no evidence of that, apparently). All because Hasbara, and one group's seemingly never-ending campaign to slander critics of Israel and cast itself as victims.

Sincerely, why? Why do we have to deal with this insanity?

You omitted the part where the suspended basketball player said to the Jewish players “you fing Jew”. What does a teenage girl basketball player have to do with the conflict? All didn’t mention how the team tried to rough up the Jewish basketball team. Well deserved firing and suspension.

What doIvy League presidents have to do with the current conflict?

So it’s ok to call teenage girls “fking” Jews now? Got it, pos.

Did you read the latest update. The student who wrote the story that slurs were used has been unveiled as a liar by the adults who were there, on both sides. Sad, but par.

There’s no latest update. But you want to drag teenage girls and justify calling them fing Jews, way to show your antisemitism. Stop making stuff up.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/08/us/new-york-high-school-basketball-investigation-antisemitic-comment/index.html

It may turn out that more was said and/or done, but as it stands, it’s looking like Robin Bosworth is a liar, and that she fabricated (or at least greatly embellished) what went down.

I read the cnn article. The harassment was bad enough the game was cut half way. And I wonder how you would feel if someone just yelled 9/11 at a brown sports team or China fly at an Asian team. It’s racist then and it’s racist in this case even if the only thing said was free Palestine’s stop defending the indefensible.

The game was ended after the third quarter. Unfortunately, Ms. Bosworth and her teammates are learning a hard lesson that violent oppression has consequences, and sometimes innocents are caught up in the crosshairs. I mean, that's what we're told the loved ones of the tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians being blown to smithereens in Gaza should do, right? Just accept it and stop complaining ...

That said, it's looking like fabrications may have been published by Ms. Bosworth. If so, I have a hell of a bigger problem with THAT than I do anyone saying Free Palestine in any context. And why shouldn't I? If you're against freedom for the Palestinian people, you are an enemy of peace and human rights. I don't support liars and I definitely don't support enemies of peace and human rights, whether it's Israel or Hamas or Robin Bosworth herself. If it turns out she's telling the truth, serious consequences have already been doled out. But if it turns out she fabricated or embellished what occurred, she should be suspended from her school for the same period of time that the opposing team's player was suspended. Wanna bet how little consequence she will face if found to have lied?

So you are justifying bullying Jewish girls for what you perceive are Israel’s actions. And this is not anti semitism?
You raging anti semite.

Free Palestine and criticisms of Israel’s actions that are more than deserving of criticism (i.e., the entire body of their actions toward the indigenous people of the Middle East over the past 75 years) will NEVER amount to anti-semitism, no matter how hard you try to keep yourself in the limelight as the professional victim class. I’ll criticize Israel and Hamas all I want, and you can pound sand.

Sure but why are you yelling at this at non Israeli teenage girls playing a basketball game just because they are Jewish?

According to the updated story on CNN, one person said “Free Palestine”. One person. The coach was discharged and a player was suspended. Apologies were issued. Apparently for saying “Free Palestine”, which is an appeal that every compassionate human being should support. After all, the alternative is oppression, brutal subjugation, and slavery.

If those continue to be the facts, I’d say far more than enough has already been done. So unless and until the investigation finds more, there’s nothing left to say at this point.

However, with the demonstrated blind, unconditional, and frankly rabid support of Israel by a large portion of Jews in America, it’s not too hard to imagine hostilities toward that segment for both their actions and the actions of the state-sponsored terrorism that they support with outspoken zeal. What’s happening in the Middle East is reprehensible.

If you support the acts of any of the bad actors (including and perhaps especially Israel), you’re part of the problem. And people may yell at you. It’s the price of oppression, I guess.

That’s not an updated story. That is cnn’s version of the story. The allegations are that the girl said “I support Hamas, you fing jew”. And that the Jewish team was being roughed up on the court. Until the facts are out you don’t have a leg to stand on. And the fact that they did review video and decide to suspend the girl speaks volunteers.

https://www.thenation.com/article/society/there-is-no-space-in-the-sports-world-to-call-for-a-free-palestine/

And THAT is why an example had to be made of the coach and player - to satisfy this sick vengeful bloodlust that must be sated whenever anyone dares to criticize the sacred cow. It had nothing to do with the actual events of the game, we've been told by a major international news media outlet. I choose to believe them over a student athlete who is claiming otherwise.

So yeah, it IS an updated story. And thus far, nothing otherwise has emerged that justified these actions. If / when anything does, the topic can be re-visited. But for now, "Free Palestine" is a perfectly acceptable way for one to exercise their 1A rights to oppose oppression, brutal subjugation, and slavery. Hypocritical thugs like Ackman can go after them all they want, but they are eventually going to run out of dry powder on this issue.

Blah blah blah. Truth is the girl would not have been suspended if all she said was free Palestine. She could have screamed free Palestine the entire match and no one would have blinked an eye. You are wasting your time, go yell free Palestine somewhere.

I'm sure you would LOVE for people like me to stop talking about it, right! Uh, wouldn't that be great??? You can continue being a miserable POS supporting an apartheid terrorist state without anyone questions your morals!!! But no.

But as to your lazy retort, why is CNN hiding all those people that heard more? CNN in on the anti-semitism campaign, too???

NP here. People “like you” only talk about this anonymously on this board. Maybe you also frequent Reddit. The truth is, this site is an outlet for all your delusions and spitefulness. You clearly missed the part from the CNN article where they describe interviews with game officials, players and coaches. CNN does not owe you the exact quotes of the type of antisemitic comments hurled at the girls. And if they did specify what was said to the Jewish girls, you would have come back here saying that the statements are not antisemitic. Because, after all, you are the great judge who gets to decide what is and not antisemitic.

The CNN article literally says the only thing the adults present confirmed was said was Free Palestine. That’s who they were interviewing.

It’s Ok to admit you were wrong on this one. There’s a lot of that in this issue where people get attached to the first version of something they hear and then can’t get unstuck.

Please show me where CNN “literally says the only thing the adults present confirmed was said was Free Palestine” https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/01/07/us/new-york-high-school-basketball-antisemitic-comments/index.html

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/07/us/new-york-high-school-basketball-antisemitic-comments/index.html

Please show me where you didn't admit to beating your children last year, but not every day anyway.

See how asinine your demands are?

They don't need to say LITERALLY. They said one person said it. That's enough to conclude that they didn't hear from any witnesses (yet, anyway) that more than one person said that, or anything else that was alleged by Lady Bosworth.

OMFG where do they say that in the CNN article? Did you even read it? Copy and paste your evidence.

Are you done getting battered into oblivion? Like most things in you life, I'd wager, you're lost and clueless as to reality. Someone, get this fool a map already.

Blinken is doing the best he can and is the adult in the room . It’s certainly not Bibi or Biden . Mahmoud Abbas and Sisi are not effective either .

I know it breaks US policy or whatever but it would suit the US to actually speak to Hamas. It’s hard to negotiate with someone you refuse to talk to. Qatar is not going to play hardball with Hamas, but the US is . Talking through third parties only is not effective

It is Deja vu of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. If you can’t finish the war on front 1,why open another battlefield? It is foolish and Blinken is trying to talk Israel out of it.

There will also be a humanitarian crisis of refugees from Southern Lebanon and Northern Israel who would have to move and be resettled elsewhere . That can be very bad and in fact, a gift to Hamas in Gaza who will use the opportunity of a distracted Israel

Agreed. In all likelihood, the only person that heard it was the recipient in the heat of the game. The person who said it said it directly to her. Why would anyone else have heard her say it? With all the shouting and cheering going on. Why would she lie?

My niece goes to that school and it absolutely happened!

Yes, but we've all seen what's happened to Gaza and the Palestinians there.

The question is do the men that make up Hezbollah march to Iran's drum?

They know what's going to happen if they invade Israel. They will die. Their families will suffer greatly. The land they control will be turned into ruins. Just like Hamas and Gaza.

And Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and the rest of Lebanon will certainly not help them.

Rationally, I think things stay the way they are on the northern border. Some shelling every day but nothing serious. But not everyone is very rational in that part of the world.

Please show me where you didn't admit to beating your children last year, but not every day anyway.

See how asinine your demands are?

They don't need to say LITERALLY. They said one person said it. That's enough to conclude that they didn't hear from any witnesses (yet, anyway) that more than one person said that, or anything else that was alleged by Lady Bosworth.

OMFG where do they say that in the CNN article? Did you even read it? Copy and paste your evidence.

Are you done getting battered into oblivion? Like most things in you life, I'd wager, you're lost and clueless as to reality. Someone, get this fool a map already.

Nope, you still haven’t copied and pasted it from the CNN article you have been citing. Probably because you are a dimwit.

But please don’t say there has been no increase in antisemitism. The ugliness is everywhere. Including in Yonkers NY where a Jewish HS ( The Leffell School) basketball team was playing Roosevelt HS.

They had to stop the game because the players on Roosevelt’s team were roughing them up and playing violently. They also shouted antisemitic slurs.

It seems that one of the slurs they shouted was “Free Palestine” during the game, while another one was “I’m pro-Hamas you f%#^*ing Jew”. Let’s just see if they suffer any consequences.

I am sure there is an increase in antisemitism. The behavior at the basketball game is horrible, especially roughing up other players. "Free Palestine" is not antisemitic (one can be sympathetic to Palestinians' political aspirations without having any animosity toward Jews), but the other statement you mention is repugnant. Nobody should say that, and I hope the players will be disciplined.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/08/us/new-york-high-school-basketball-investigation-antisemitic-comment/index.html

Free Palestine is not, nor will it ever be, an anti-semitic remark.

And yet a coach and a player suffered IMMEDIATE and SERIOUS consequences - which is exactly what happens EVERY TIME anyone dares to criticize the sacred cow / the 21st century Voldemort / whatever.

This douchenozzle PP jazz hands'd away the FACT of a 6 year old kid being savagely slaughtered in a murderous act of Islamophobia, the FACT of three young men being sprayed with bullets in another murderous act of Islamophobia (one of them now paralyzed), the FACT of a deranged Jewish school teacher threatening to behead a student in yet another act of Islamophobic violence ... because some kids were scared of loud noises on library doors that one time. They asserted that certain language was used (there's no evidence of that, apparently), they asserted that the other team was "roughed up" (there's no evidence of that, apparently). All because Hasbara, and one group's seemingly never-ending campaign to slander critics of Israel and cast itself as victims.

Sincerely, why? Why do we have to deal with this insanity?

You omitted the part where the suspended basketball player said to the Jewish players “you fing Jew”. What does a teenage girl basketball player have to do with the conflict? All didn’t mention how the team tried to rough up the Jewish basketball team. Well deserved firing and suspension.

What doIvy League presidents have to do with the current conflict?

So it’s ok to call teenage girls “fking” Jews now? Got it, pos.

Did you read the latest update. The student who wrote the story that slurs were used has been unveiled as a liar by the adults who were there, on both sides. Sad, but par.

There’s no latest update. But you want to drag teenage girls and justify calling them fing Jews, way to show your antisemitism. Stop making stuff up.

It may turn out that more was said and/or done, but as it stands, it’s looking like Robin Bosworth is a liar, and that she fabricated (or at least greatly embellished) what went down.

I read the cnn article. The harassment was bad enough the game was cut half way. And I wonder how you would feel if someone just yelled 9/11 at a brown sports team or China fly at an Asian team. It’s racist then and it’s racist in this case even if the only thing said was free Palestine’s stop defending the indefensible.

The game was ended after the third quarter. Unfortunately, Ms. Bosworth and her teammates are learning a hard lesson that violent oppression has consequences, and sometimes innocents are caught up in the crosshairs. I mean, that's what we're told the loved ones of the tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians being blown to smithereens in Gaza should do, right? Just accept it and stop complaining ...

That said, it's looking like fabrications may have been published by Ms. Bosworth. If so, I have a hell of a bigger problem with THAT than I do anyone saying Free Palestine in any context. And why shouldn't I? If you're against freedom for the Palestinian people, you are an enemy of peace and human rights. I don't support liars and I definitely don't support enemies of peace and human rights, whether it's Israel or Hamas or Robin Bosworth herself. If it turns out she's telling the truth, serious consequences have already been doled out. But if it turns out she fabricated or embellished what occurred, she should be suspended from her school for the same period of time that the opposing team's player was suspended. Wanna bet how little consequence she will face if found to have lied?

So you are justifying bullying Jewish girls for what you perceive are Israel’s actions. And this is not anti semitism?
You raging anti semite.

Free Palestine and criticisms of Israel’s actions that are more than deserving of criticism (i.e., the entire body of their actions toward the indigenous people of the Middle East over the past 75 years) will NEVER amount to anti-semitism, no matter how hard you try to keep yourself in the limelight as the professional victim class. I’ll criticize Israel and Hamas all I want, and you can pound sand.

Sure but why are you yelling at this at non Israeli teenage girls playing a basketball game just because they are Jewish?

According to the updated story on CNN, one person said “Free Palestine”. One person. The coach was discharged and a player was suspended. Apologies were issued. Apparently for saying “Free Palestine”, which is an appeal that every compassionate human being should support. After all, the alternative is oppression, brutal subjugation, and slavery.

If those continue to be the facts, I’d say far more than enough has already been done. So unless and until the investigation finds more, there’s nothing left to say at this point.

However, with the demonstrated blind, unconditional, and frankly rabid support of Israel by a large portion of Jews in America, it’s not too hard to imagine hostilities toward that segment for both their actions and the actions of the state-sponsored terrorism that they support with outspoken zeal. What’s happening in the Middle East is reprehensible.

If you support the acts of any of the bad actors (including and perhaps especially Israel), you’re part of the problem. And people may yell at you. It’s the price of oppression, I guess.

That’s not an updated story. That is cnn’s version of the story. The allegations are that the girl said “I support Hamas, you fing jew”. And that the Jewish team was being roughed up on the court. Until the facts are out you don’t have a leg to stand on. And the fact that they did review video and decide to suspend the girl speaks volunteers.

https://www.thenation.com/article/society/there-is-no-space-in-the-sports-world-to-call-for-a-free-palestine/

And THAT is why an example had to be made of the coach and player - to satisfy this sick vengeful bloodlust that must be sated whenever anyone dares to criticize the sacred cow. It had nothing to do with the actual events of the game, we've been told by a major international news media outlet. I choose to believe them over a student athlete who is claiming otherwise.

So yeah, it IS an updated story. And thus far, nothing otherwise has emerged that justified these actions. If / when anything does, the topic can be re-visited. But for now, "Free Palestine" is a perfectly acceptable way for one to exercise their 1A rights to oppose oppression, brutal subjugation, and slavery. Hypocritical thugs like Ackman can go after them all they want, but they are eventually going to run out of dry powder on this issue.

Blah blah blah. Truth is the girl would not have been suspended if all she said was free Palestine. She could have screamed free Palestine the entire match and no one would have blinked an eye. You are wasting your time, go yell free Palestine somewhere.

I'm sure you would LOVE for people like me to stop talking about it, right! Uh, wouldn't that be great??? You can continue being a miserable POS supporting an apartheid terrorist state without anyone questions your morals!!! But no.

But as to your lazy retort, why is CNN hiding all those people that heard more? CNN in on the anti-semitism campaign, too???

NP here. People “like you” only talk about this anonymously on this board. Maybe you also frequent Reddit. The truth is, this site is an outlet for all your delusions and spitefulness. You clearly missed the part from the CNN article where they describe interviews with game officials, players and coaches. CNN does not owe you the exact quotes of the type of antisemitic comments hurled at the girls. And if they did specify what was said to the Jewish girls, you would have come back here saying that the statements are not antisemitic. Because, after all, you are the great judge who gets to decide what is and not antisemitic.

The CNN article literally says the only thing the adults present confirmed was said was Free Palestine. That’s who they were interviewing.

It’s Ok to admit you were wrong on this one. There’s a lot of that in this issue where people get attached to the first version of something they hear and then can’t get unstuck.

What about the response @ 01/09/2024 18:35? Confused how this dimwit continues to pummel you into oblivion, and yet you keep showing up to embarrass yourself? Are you a settler, or just congenitally slow?
