Out of curiosity, do you feel similarly about other cocky, shit-talking athletes like, say... Anderson Silva?

She's fucking someone else, bro.

"There is no excuse for these idiot teenagers — any more than American teenagers who use the 'n' word and other racial slurs"

This is me as well. One of the most disturbing things I've seen (and I purposely try to avoid talking about it with people b/c it makes me feel icky...and yes, I'm a terrible person) was Anthony Bourdain's episode of Parts Unknown in Israel/Gaza. If you watch it, he goes to a settlement in Gaza where "youths" have…

My "leanings" are not being a fan of disproportionate civilian deaths in response to virtually no provocation or serious threats. That you think this makes them incompatible with the existence of Israel makes you seem more like the actual anti-Semite here.

Did they teach you that talking point in the hasbara class, sunshine?

Thanks for IMMEDIATELY proving how intellectually bankrupt your piss-poor argument is, Cletus. When in doubt, cover your ears and scream antisemitism, right?

The knee-jerk support for Israel from some Jewish people has always been disturbing to me. During one of the many conflicts between Israel and Palestine, a Jewish woman said that when her kids complained about their first-world problems she would tell them to think about the children suffering in Israel. And I…

Actually, the main reason this country generally supports Israel is because they have an amazing PR machine. If you have a chance, check out "Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land", a documentary about the Israeli PR campaign in this country. It's fascinating. It completely changed my mind about the entire conflict.

ALMIGHTY ALLAH SHALL SMOTE YOU AND YOUR ZIONIST ALLIES

While pouring millions into Israeli defense coffers so they can gleefully conduct this genocide without a peep of international descent. These tools taking selfies and praying for a Arab free homeland are a sign of how complete their radicalization is. I won't weep when they lose one of theirs.

I don't think Americans are openly and willingly sided with Israel as much anymore. We may be vane and short-sighted, but we're trying to keep our filthy hands out of this one.

This is unsurprising. When some of the greatest power holders in the world support your cause, you tend to feel pretty fucking empowered to do and say whatever you want.

Death to these Zionist pigs.

"As a Jew, and as someone who has been raised to always support Israel (which, according to my parents, is my spiritual home, although I have never been)"

No wonder most Americans automatically side with Israel, we're both wealthy nations filled with shamelessly self-absorbed assholes so far removed from any conflict we enter that it's incredibly easy to cheerlead for atrocities. I wish I could even be surprised that Violent Nationalism Selfies are a thing, but I can't.

This may be more relevant in the thread about whether or not third-place games should be played, but might Argentina not have preferred clobbering Brazil for South American supremacy in the bronze match — and actually, y'now, scored goals, than ending this World Cup scoreless since the 8th minute against Belgium?

Don't post this on Jezebel without a trigger warning.
