Quenelle de Tony Parker !

11:57 AM - 28 Dec 2013

Now we'll see how the NBA deals with this.

The guy on the right in the picture above is the San Antonio Spurs' star point guard Tony Parker, who is - you guessed it - French. And he's a friend of Dieudonne, who is pictured on the left....
According to Fox News, the Simon Wiesenthal Center is demanding on Monday that Parker, the star point guard for the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, apologize for making the "quenelle," a hand gesture which is considered the Nazi sign in reverse.

The gesture was made famous in France by controversial comedian Dieudonné, whom French authorities are considering banning due to what they say are his repeated insults of the memory of the Holocaust. A picture of the comedian and Parker doing the quenelle has been circulating on social media.

The Spurs are at home the rest of this week, but the next time they go to New York or LA, Parker should get quite a greeting.

Is he the only player in the NBA even familiar with this salute?

Sorry, but that’s Lil Boosie’s “Wipe Me Down”

He ought to listen to the demand for an apology. The State of Israel has ways of dealing with things Nazi.

Seems to me that anti-semitism and specifically Nazism is starting to make a comeback and even in a haute couture sort of way. Sad, really. It seems Europe, nay most of the world, has forgotten history.

In the book perfidy, written by Ben Hecht, he wrote (about the Holocost):

“I don’t believe the Europeans are sorry, they’re only resting.

Looks gay. Tony looks like every other poser dude who touches his chest.

The bearded one might be taking it serious with his self created gesture.

Cracker Barrell just announced that they will resume selling Tony Parker and Dieudonné merchandise as soon as they figure out who they are.

Parker is a jerk….He may be too stupid to realize what he is doing and just thinks he’s cool.

He cheated on ex-wife Eva Longoria with his team mate’s wife. Nice. I’m no fan of liberal Longoria but give Parker back to France.

OK, that’s a funny pair of posts right there. I’m on a long call, and had to really suppress a LOL.

Yeah, these two highly intellectual geniuses would have lasted a long time with the Nazis. (Everyone knows how well the Nazis loved coloreds!)

Thanks Nachum.
San Antonio Spurs' star point guard Tony Parker, who is - you guessed it - French... a friend of Dieudonne, who is pictured on the left... controversial comedian Dieudonné, whom French authorities are considering banning due to what they say are his repeated insults of the memory of the Holocaust.
I added that link to the "comedian's" wikipedia page, which records that he's been convicted seven times on antisemitism charges, has run for office a number of times, stated his preference for bin Laden over Bush, is a friend of Thierry Meyssan the notorious 9/11 "truther", is deeply involved with the Front National party (LePen's) but demonstrated with Islamofascists against the Mohammed cartoons, met with Hezbollah in Lebanon, and hangs (figuratively, which is too bad) with Holocaust deniers.
