Everyone please click on the tweet below. It concerns the riot that occurred protesting the Israeli national soccer team which is playing in France.
So much for any theory that Israel is an “apartheid” state. How STUPID!!!

Do you think Jesse Owens performing in the’36 Olympics proved there was no segregation in America at the time?
Of course not.
But this does seem to counter the narrative regarding Israel for sure.
Hell, at that music festival on October 7th, many Israeli Arab Muslims were killed, some of whom even pleaded for mercy in the name of Allah.
Again….so much for “apartheid.”
Flimsy argument at best but lets not debate it in this thread, I’ll move on and let you do your thing
I guess the best response would be to ask this.
Who is better off and safer?
An Israeli Arab……or an openly gay man in Gaza?
Please be candid in your response！
Seems this isn’t as cut and dry as initial reports made it. Israeli soccer goons seemed to have struck first…
The issue is, this was planned violence and coordinated. I don’t believe it was contingent on any Israeli fans making awful chants or taking down a Palestinian flag, or belt whipping a taxi.
Even still, if the Israeli fans actions justified a response when it happened, this response was way beyond any justification. As we can see it also has set sparks for similar actions in other European countries where the Israeli soccer fans weren’t in.
Here’s a detailed report from the mayor and police chiefs of Amsterdam.
Michigan diversity director fired over anti-Semitic comments.
Claimed that the college was controlled by “wealthy Jews,” that Jewish students were “wealthy and privileged” and didn’t need support, and "Jewish people have no genetic DNA that would connect them to the land of Israel.”
The anti-Semitism on college campuses continues in the good ole US of A!

That’s a lot of planning involved for something that was supposed to be a reaction to badly behaved soccer fans.
MORE POLITICS.
GET IT??? POLITICS

I’m not quite sure how bringing awareness of antisemitic incidents and hate crimes constitutes politics.

I’m not quite sure how the destruction of the planet constitutes politics.
And it’s politics or not dependent on the relative perpetrator/victim.
So “some” people consider “it” to be politics if that protects/conceals their identity/ignorance.
Go Coogs.

Great response. All too revealing.
