They should have kicked off all those antisemites out of the game, and the place where the game was being played. JohnSJ Jan 2024 #3

Looks like that is exactly what they are doing. See the article I linked in post #53 Scrivener7 Jan 2024 #64

"Both sides"? Ocelot II Jan 2024 #19

Really? ??? So you believe it's "anti-Semitic" for Palestinians to be free????? RAB910 Jan 2024 #20

No, calling people "fucking Jews" is anti-Semitic. Ocelot II Jan 2024 #21

Why are they chanting "Free Palestine" at a high school basketball game in America? AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2024 #22

I am okay with that. I don't expect people who so strongly believe Palestinians shouldn't be free to the point RAB910 Jan 2024 #23

"Free Palestine" is not an offensive statement. "Fucking Jews" *is* an offensive statement. Ocelot II Jan 2024 #25

Saying "free Palestine" is "anti-Semetic" or a curse is as equally immoral as shouting "fucking Jews" RAB910 Jan 2024 #27

"I support Hamas, you fucking Jew!" was the specific statement at issue. Ocelot II Jan 2024 #34

I guess you missed, "I support Hamas, you f-king Jew," in the first paragraph elias7 Jan 2024 #29

There is NOTHING "false" about calling out hate-filled bigotry toward Palestinians that is so bad RAB910 Jan 2024 #31

So "you fucking Jew" is just fine as long as it's accompanied with a statement of support for Hamas. Ocelot II Jan 2024 #35

Interesting that they are coming to the Jewish group to tell them they are the real bigots nt AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2024 #37

I've had this argument with my brother multigraincracker Jan 2024 #49

So the problem was that it was a Jewish school? AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2024 #36

The issue was the bigotry of the students in the public Roosevelt HS MichMan Jan 2024 #50

Apparently it's because Jews have their own school AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2024 #51

vs. a parochial school, not a different secular public school. Doesn't make it right, but it is a distinction. nt TeamProg Jan 2024 #63

Which parochial school? AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2024 #66

OMG! You didn't even read the article in question?? "and The Leffell School, a private Jewish school in Hartsdale. " TeamProg Jan 2024 #67

Yes, the parochial students were the victims of bigotry AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2024 #68

I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. I see a lot of hijabs on the students when I drive by the school, and Scrivener7 Jan 2024 #56

I'm pretty confident the chanters were not "concerned" with the Palestinian people. Lunabell Jan 2024 #58
