Very sad state of affairs.

He tweeted 'Free Palestine' and immediately came under fire.

Incredibly yes.

He is supporting a black basketballer for tweeting support of Arabs.

Evidently his other prejudices trumps the usual ones.

After reading more about Duke I thought it might be better to put up another link: http://www.thenation.com/blog/180702/dwight-howard-and-freepalestine#

That's because he hates Jews. I think he hates Jews more than he hates blacks.

It depends whether or not it can be harnessed in a bigger coalition. In the States Democrats, women and young people are turning away from Israel.

Politics are funny. Israel may not  be as toxic as the news of the world yet but it will be. And elites are cool until the people turn on something in which  case they will shaft it immediately. Even the news of the world.   Even Israel.  Power doesn't  have friends. Elites  are brutal.
I hear about this kind of thing, but I believe to be not much more than pissing in the wind. Despite the current difficulties of traditional media, it still rules the roost in terms of what "acceptable" public opinion is, and it's clear to me that having a view that is sympathetic to the Palestinian cause is still not acceptable in the US mainstream, because traditional media is still firmly and blindly pro-Israel. You only have to look at what happened to that NBA player last week to see that any type of view that is sympathetic to the Palestinian cause is taboo in the US. Contrast that to Bill Maher's utterly sickening comments - he'll remain a pillar of US media and they'll probably strengthen his career, if anything.

Penetrating the centres of power is the only thing that matters, and I don't see how social media will ever do that. Israel has the centres of power in the US and the wider Western world tied around around its little finger, and that's why it will be able to get away with what it wants for as long as it wants.

I didn't realise these scumbags had an order for their hatred.

Which is exactly what SS prison guards did in the death camps... but then again, what's going on in Gaza is just what went on in the Warsaw ghetto. Who said irony is dead? Murdering Israeli bastards.

Lidl and tesco always have the country of origin on their fruit and veg. I've been using that information to boycott Israeli goods for years.  I also boycott Caterpillar as they supply heavy moving equipment to the IDF
