[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 271289, member: 33"] Arsenal footballer Mohamed Elneny posted this tweet recently: [MEDIA=twitter]1391751626503901210[/MEDIA] It seems to be a perfectly reasonably political and moral stance to take. However, The Board of Deputies of British Jews have contacted sponsors of Arsenal Football Club to get them to complain to Arsenal about what they are calling his anti-semitism. As a result the Lavazza Group, who have been Arsenal’s official coffee partner since 2018, post out a statement criticising Elneny’s post and in it they said they will "immediately reach out to Arsenal to remark we are concerned about the club associated with such a message. The content of his post is totally not aligned with our company values. Lavazza Group is fully committed against racism and antisemitism". The Board of Deputies of British Jews also contacted Arsenal's shirt sponsors Adidas to urge them to take action. This is why no one speak about against Israel's appalling treatment of the Palestinians because they will immediately be called racist and anti-semitic and as a result Israel will continue to get away with persecuting those people.
