@Spionkop69 - well said sir!
respect your views. but I passionately believe in expressing yourself in whatever fashion you want so long as you do not incite imminent violence.
don't care if its anti-muslim, anti-jew anti-reason - ideas need to be battled through dialogue not the thought police. once we create limits we slowly give fascists a foothold.
Or people like Anelka should keep their "naïveté" in check when it comes to sport?

RM - if this is the case, have you noticed the rising extremism in France? From Le Pen to the steadily increasing rates of anti-semitic behavior (French Jews are leaving France non-stop, with one of the most famous cultural icons - Enrico Macias - the latest)? How is this not incitement (not Anelka), but just a gesture? It always starts small when you start with a hateful salute whatever - and it grows ... Then it's much harder to stop.
So - assuming your 'disproportionate number of dual passport Israelis' statement is true, I assume that means we have to go after minorities if they're successful? Or you want to espouse the Elders of Zion bs? Can you give a list of these people from a legitimate site? I'm curious.Obama and co doing the same gesture...

wow where is the fuss about this!!
because its a load of old tosh.
The USA political and banking system has a disproportionate number of dual passport Israels in high positions.
France is in a similar position ...hence their very strong Isreali support.
The best i can see is the quenell is an anti-zionist gesture (a political one) NOT anti-jewish (religous or race based).
I dont like to use anti-semite. Palestinians are semites,sephardic jews(2million population) are generally semites and they make up Many of the world jewish population are of askenazi descent(10-12million) and hence not semites.
ban me for being an anti-semite by saying this.....i care not. i just feel people ought to find out what the meanings of the words they use are
and stop taking the word of the press as gospel.
the trouble with dual nationalism in political office is that of a conflict of interests.
Im not saying ban jews from holding these positions but a renouncement of the israeli citizenship and disclosure of this would go along way to
helping PR!.
The perception of many in france and the usa is that of criminals are looting the banking system in the west and disappearing of to israel with the loot.
many of the banks doing the looting have jewish names (kuhn loeb,rothschild etc etc)
the right wing NF,white power yobbos then gain more power on the back of this and again as a result of a few criminals using dual-nationality to loot countries the ENTIRE jewish population suffers.
ie not all italians are mafia YET somehow all jews are zionist,looting,baby eating scum. why?
Sephardi and Mizrachi food is unreal though - we actually use 'spices'
In that case you should invite all of us round for dinner.
If you ever visit, I'll take you to one of the better restaurants as you do earn Euros Mr. Drachmas.
Can I order the bacon wrapped shrimp?
That will be in TA mate
If Anelka did this in the street he would be allowed to, the Public Order Act requires intention to be proven. It is only the FA that do not require Anelka to have any intention or be anti-semetic, he just needs to do any random act or say any random word, and so long as the FA can argue that it could be insulting that is the end of it, he gets banned.
Anelka has free speech, just not in his place or work where he has signed a contract to abide by the FA rules and regulations.
He would be allowed to do it in public, yeah. But he'd get his fucking head caved in. It's the provocation.

Just to help you out - I'm Sephardi. My family was kicked out of Spain for the sin of being a problematic minority. Sepharad in Hebrew means Spain. You're probably talking about Mizrachim, who are Jews from the Mizrach ("East" in Hebrew, which encompasses MOrocco through Iraq, but doesn't include the Iranians or Turks). As for your '2 million estimate' - there are around 6 million Jews in Israel, of which 50% are Mizrachim ... not to mention the large communities in France (leaving by the thousands every year) and New York state. You can do the math.
As for the ridiculous new game of saying "person x (normally of Arab descent) can't be an anti-semite because he's a semite himself," let me say it like this. Ok, so call him a Jew hating twat. Better? The term was created centuries ago ... Who cares what it's about - Anelka, as most of us have posted, is most likely not an anti-semite. But that holocaust denying twat of a comedian definitely is ... He can preach all he wants though -
No one will ban you (I hope), but I find it very ironic you're talking about 'meanings of words' and then you use the term 'Sephardic' to describe Mizrachim. Just saying ...
Yes, let's allow everyone who wants to to walk around in Nazi uniforms, boo and chant monkey noises at black players, beat up gay people and make anti-semetic gestures in front of Anne Frank's house, because, you know, everyone has, like, the right to, like, express themselves, like, you know, how they want to. Ludicrous argument.
@LeTallecWiz Is that a fact or made up? I know he's said some crazy shit, but I've never seen him quoted saying that it never happened?
.... Wowzers
