Kyrie Irving says he cannot concentrate on basketball due to the Palestinian-Israeli situation

[nieman]

How old are some of y'all? There was a period in which a lot of foreign players were from War-tor countries, and having to deal with hearing about their families ducking from bombs and troops killin everything (Vlade, Kukoc, Stojakovic). Hell, I think Vlade still involved with helping people affected by the Yugoslav Wars.

Either sit out, or put your money over there...but to being unable to concentrate, I don't know. Unless he's one of those empaths that internalizes everything, and unable to focus on one thing at a time, in which I would suggest he needs to seek professional help. There's always gonna be something to distract him.

Welp, he just dumped a lot of BS on his team at the most inopportune moment.

Why all of a sudden everyone talking about this?

Kyrie becoming one of the most interesting personas in the game

Shout out to him representing his South Bronx roots

 

[Swaggatron]

Notice that the *redacted* is the only one in here for demonic ass Israel. Those people are delusional

 

[Zime]

All jokes asides, why the fukk should a black man in America lose sleep over the Israel/Palestine conflict?

Didn't he recently convert to Islam? Al Aqsa Mosque is the second holiest site in Islam. Muslims also prayed towards Al-Aqsa before the Sacred Mosque in Mecca

Over 90% are blocked by the iron dome and palestine isnt invading isreal last i checked but the other way around


The iron dome is so successful, isreal is actually going to make billions on selling it to china and russia after all this

It's probably a reverse engineered US system. They've done this before, we give them tech they sell it and give us the finger.

He didn’t even say anything about not playing or being interested in basketball. He just felt his time with the media was better spent addressing larger issues.

This is a non-issue

In Pictures: Israeli forces storm Al-Aqsa compound
Israeli forces stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Monday and fired rubber-coated rounds, tear gas, and sound bombs at Palestinian worshippers.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said more than 180 Palestinians were wounded, of whom more than 80 were hospitalised, including one person in critical condition.

Potential forced expulsions of Palestinians from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem sparked demonstrations that Israeli security forces have heavily cracked down on during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Videos showed tear gas canisters fired into the Qibly mosque and stun grenades were shot towards female Palestinian worshippers inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque itself.

U COMPARING BREAKING UP A PROTEST WIT TEAR GAS TO FIRING MISSILES ON CIVILIANS?

It's probably a reverse engineered US system. They've done this before, we give them tech they sell it and give us the finger.

It was funded by US but actually designed and engineered by isreal. No bull shyt after other countries have seen it do so well they are reaching out to them to buy the system, including big dogs in Asia

US gave isreal 1.6 billion to fund them making it

“Several countries, including the United Arab Emirates, India and other nations in Asia have looked into buying the Iron Dome system, and the current performance is likely to make such sales more appealing, analysts said. ”

“
Iron Dome is managing to destroy some 90% of the incoming volleys, in line with expected performance, according to the Israeli military.

“Everyone has been quietly impressed by the ability of Iron Dome to handle the sheer volume,” said Michael Stephens, a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia. “It’s been a good demonstration of how the system has rapidly improved to become the best short-range system on the planet.””

No ones going to save palestine cause they boutta look to isreal to give them hook up prices on missile defense

Why all of a sudden everyone talking about this?

Because people are dying from missiles and bombs and neighborhoods are being leveled to dirt.
This isnt an usual take over from a regime with guns storm trooping a city.

its actual war and one side is destroying the other side and its not a real balanced fight on top of it also being genocide.

we see genocide else where, and its fukked up to. But it feels different cause they just raining bombs on innocent people for a week straight now. Not much you can do against a missile/bomb


That “lil red button to make shyt blow up” people werr scared Trump was gone push? Isreal pushed it.

if this isnt handled delicately by the UN this could be the start of WW3. Thats why more people are concerned that other events.

 

[No1]

They did but lets not act like isreal was fighting them on their own. They had full backing by the US and europe. From technology, weapons and cash. Isreal would have been whipped in the 60s if america wasn't replenishing their weapons.

We all know the deal. Isreal is there and is given top priority in the middle east because they are an extension of american and europes interest in that region. They even do the dirty work of the US and europe when them folks don't want to get their hands dirty.

I don’t disagree with any of this.
