Anna DeBeer's ankle now joins the U of L athletics "what if" Hall of Fame along with Michael Bush's leg, Terry Howard's free-throw, William Gay's offsides penalty and the no foul call on Myisha Hines-Allen.
Hard to keep up with how many blatant and vile genocidal statements are coming from Israeli officials. I have never seen anything like this, with such frequency.
U.S. politicians have gone from expressing support only for Israel, with no concern for Palestinian civilians, to saying that any support for Palestinian freedom means you support terrorism. This shows exactly how there is no "right way" to advocate for Palestine.
Israelis are NOT being killed for being Jewish. This attack is a response to ethnic cleaning and apartheid. Zionism and Judaism are not the same thing. Many Jews, like myself, reject the Zionist occupation.
I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived 4 years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the IDF.
When that is your world, it's hard to see apartheid when it's happening.
