This thing about protesting any Israeli expat living and working in the diaspora is getting fucking weird. Never mind the triangle (and red hands) messaging issues, why isn't the same thing happening for Russia, China, or Myanmar's, etc expats? Or Americans for that matter. We suck a lot right now too.
"[ #SpikeLee] gets to show up at the game and have the effect of provoking the #Jewish player running up and down the court in front of him, even as he retains the ability to say he just happened to feel the need to get political that night.
Supporting the #Palestinian cause is #Lee’s right, of course, but no Palestinian was playing in the #NBA #AllStarGame. Protesting the #Israeli government’s actions in #Gaza or anywhere else is also very much Lee’s right, but no Israeli government officials or even national team was playing. The man who was playing was guilty of little more than being born in #Israel, and for that he apparently deserved an ongoing in-game protest."
