We don't know the outcome, so it seems premature to moan about the FA disciplinary process.
Is like Inception, man.
Are we all totally convinced the gesture was anti-Semitic ? There seems to be some debate around it. Not that it'll matter the FA will twat him with a ban regardless.
Ok, looks anti-Semitic enough to me. Thanks for the info
As I said though, I don't believe all who do it are anti-semites. A lot to do it for the same reason Anelka gave - Dieudonne is very popular on the French street (and probably only getting more popular now). Looking at pictures though - you don't see it being done in churches, or mosques, or even government buildings ('establishment' I'd say) etc ... People are getting photographed doing it in the places related to the Holocaust, or around Jews (not that Jews haven't been photographed doing it btw!)
You know it's always baffled me why the Jews are disliked so much by some people. It's pretty mad.
I try not to think about it sir ... Gets me depressed. It's not my fault I owned Hollywood, 14 banks and 2 NBA franchies by the time I was 13 ...

that guy doing it in front of Auschwitz.... I hope the other guy looking at him ran over and punched him in the back of the head a second after it was taken
You do wear those funny hats though....

That's only the Ultra-Orthodox - that's maybe 20% of the Jewish population (tops 30%). They wear these too on the Jewish Sabbath and Jewish holidays:

There are better ones than that Wizzy.
Is that a hat, or a merkin?
Most people have no idea what it was ... However, a few Jewish teens got arrested for finding some of these guys in france and beating the shit out of them. Pussies I tell you.
I'm torn by this. The comedian has despicable views, but what is at stake is freedom of expression and such action gives oxygen to ignorance. More worryingly it is part of a larger trend of political correctness that UEFA have been championing. I hope we have not gone down the slippery slope.
