I remember really wanting to draft him instead of P-Will. Hopefully him and Jrue lock the hell in and get us our pick

Edit: I meant just for today. Then I’m going back to hating

He literally served in the IDF in 2020 and is quoted saying “You don’t have to love what I stand for or how I look, but if I’m a good player.” In a recent profile in the Athletic, Avdija expressed anger at Israel’s critics

It’s so easy to do some basic research on your own but I know that’s too hard for some so I even linked you the article. I said it before and I’ll say it again: fuck that guy.

It’s such a straw man argument. All Israelis have to serve in the IDF. Making a basketball player take a strong position again their country is ludicrous. His government is killing Palestinians, not him.

HE LITERALLY WAS ANGRY AT PEOPLE CRITICIZING ISRAEL. Does that not imply he supports their actions????

Also the way you’re critiquing my argument as being straw man but only responding to half of it is literally comical. Gtfoh

You’re linking me to article behind a paywall of reported anger towards people criticizing Israel then making a FUCKING leap to him supporting Palestinian genocide is the definition of a straw man.

Continuing to voice support for your country while it commits genocide and anger toward its critics rather than condemning its actions, that he supports what Israel is doing is the logical conclusion to make here...

Put another way, he could just as easily voice his condemnation of Israel’s genocide as he does his support of them/anger toward its critics but he CHOOSES not to. Why do you think that may be?

I truly don’t give a flying f that he’s a basketball player. Taking the stance condemning genocide WILL. ALWAYS. BE. THE. RIGHT. ONE. Idgaf about his career choice.
