Cue John Kerry's "Smear tactics."

[alloysteel]

Technically, a person of Arabic descent is not, by definition, an “anti-Semitic”, as Arabs themselves are “Semitic” people. But he is no doubt of extreme anti-Israeli views.

It is just reflexive on the part of “Palestinian” Arabs to have this opinion. They have heard nothing else since very early childhood.

Problem we have in this country is the HYPHENATION of race/country,etc. You’re either an American or you’re not.

hehe

Ouday’s explanations read like satire, although I’m pretty sure that wasn’t intended. “I have teammates who are Jewish...”

[Diana in Wisconsin]

You mean having ‘H-A-T-E J-E-W-S’ tatooed across ones knuckles means the opposite? *SMIRK*

I read the whole article, and it’s all “he said, she said.”

Is this guy a terrorist supporter? I’m inclined not to believe anything a Muslim tells us about his religion, since the Koran instructs him to lie to us.

But I do wish this reporter had bothered to do a little investigating.

a Brooklyn native who is believed to be the first Palestinian-American ever drafted by an NFL team

Pretty likely, since there is no such thing as a "Palestinian". Where do his relatives actually come from? For example, "Palestinian" godfather Yasser Arafat was Egyptian.

Another thing not to like about the NBA.

Does this help his case?

In January, Aboushi posted a photo to his personal Twitter page depicting an old woman looking down while three clearly Orthodox Jews converse with one another in the background. The photo, which is attributed to the anti-Israel publication Middle East Monitor (MEM), was part of a large-scale smear campaign against the Jewish state. The caption over Aboushi’s tweet reads, “88 year-old Palestinian evicted from home in Jerusalem by Israel authorities to make room 4 Orthodox Jews.”

Hey I feel sorry for the dude
He might only good player for Jets this year let him play

[JoeTheGeorgian]

Can’t wait until this guy self-detonates on the field. “He really blew a hole in that line, Bob! Wow!”

I looked at the title and thought there had been another NFL expansion.

By definition any hyphenated American is no American and certainly no practicing Muslim should ever be refered to as an American.

Divided loyalties do not make an American! Ad a positive aspect of your culture to American is great but there is nothing positive about Muslim culture.

I wonder if he is adhering to Ramadamadingdong...?

If not, cut off his apostate head.../ S

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Really? He isn’t a New York Jets Rookie but a Palestinian Jets rookie?

I gots to get my fantasy team altered, yo.

[longfellow]

Are they changing the name of the team from Jets to Jews?? We have to knock this shiite off. Besides the JETS have enough problems.

[Rummyfan]

For a fifth round draft pick he sure is getting a lot of publicity, all of it negative. I don’t think he’s even going to make the team.
