At this point, it’s the conservatives who are wearing the rose-colored glasses. They keep believing that Democrats will come around, and that Truth, Justice, and the American Way will magically persevere.
It won’t. The Democrats will never humble themselves back to normalcy on their own. Conservatives need to draw a line in the sand and force them to come around from their perverse, frustrating ways.
At the NBA All-Star game over the weekend, Spike Lee, desperate to stay relevant, showed up dressed like a Palestinian flag. He was wearing a keffiyeh-patterned sweater and flag badges on his bag strap.
Lee, who had courtside in-your-face seats, wore his Palestinian get-up to annoy Deni Avdija, the first Israeli to play in the NBA All-Star game.
Lee’s obnoxious wardrobe choice rightfully angered many pro-Israel fans. Avdija was playing for the world team in the NBA’s latest attempt to make its All-Star game worth the time. The new format pitted players from around the world against American-born players.
For his part, in a postgame interview, conducted mostly in Hebrew, Avdija said:
“I feel like when I come to play, I come with the entire nation, and it’s fun to show that it’s possible, even for a small country like us.”
Late last night, Lee tried to put the matter to rest, with the lame excuse that since he’s a New York Knicks fan and more familiar with East Coast teams and players, he wasn’t aware that Avdija was Israeli. In an Instagram post, he said this.
