Israelis Upset By NBA Cavaliers Coach Firing

James’ calculating image wasn’t helped when the Cavaliers stunningly fired Blatt on Friday, Jan. 22, despite Blatt leading the team to the NBA Finals last season and an Eastern Conference-best 30-11 record this season. James has played for three coaches during his two stints in Cleveland.

Israelis on Sunday harshly criticised the firing of local hero David Blatt as coach of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, calling him the victim of superstar LeBron James's influence over the team.
One sports commentator even compared Israelis' hate of James to their hate of Islamist movement Hamas, while insulting and racist comments written in Hebrew littered his Instagram account.
The 2014 hiring of Blatt, an Israeli citizen who led powerhouse Maccabi Tel Aviv to a European title, gave Israelis a jolt of pride. When the Cavaliers played in last year's NBA finals, many stayed up late to watch the games.
But a rift between Blatt and James, the Cavaliers' star player who many rank among the greatest ever, reportedly led to his downfall, with the team announcing Friday that they were firing him despite having one of the league's best records.
"LeBron James is now the most hated person in Israel," Sharon Davidovitch, a sports journalist for Israeli news site Ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, told AFP.
He said the decision to move on from Blatt was correct since the players and coach apparently did not get along, but noted that Israeli fans were taking the decision hard.

Palestinian Protesters Attack Jewish Leader After Brooklyn NBA Game

[From article]
The Jewish leader of a Brooklyn community center says he was beaten by pro-Palestinian demonstrators in front of his children after a Brooklyn Nets game against Israeli champions Maccabi Tel Aviv at the Barclay’s Center.
Leonard Petlakh, 42, director of the Kings Bay Y, said protestors shouting “Free Palestine” and “Your people are murderers,” accosted him as he left the game in downtown Brooklyn. One of them struck Petlakh in the face, he said.
[. . .]
Petlakh suffered a broken nose and a cut that required eight stitches after the attack, which he said was being investigated by police as an anti-Semitic hate crime.
Petlakh said he hoped, “vile anti-Semitic hooligans masquerading as anti-Zionists will be caught soon.”

Multi Millionaire Athletes and Celebrities Stir Up Racial Animosity

Posted April 29, 2014 8:36 PM ET; Last updated May 3, 2014 1:36 AM ET

On Friday May 2, 2014, ABC News 20/20 broadcast a segment about Donald Sterling. Three of their prominent on-air journalists, Barbara Walters, Elizabeth Vargas, and David Muir all asked the same question, "Is Donald Sterling a racist?" Here is one of many misguided concerns of major network news organizations. There is first of all no discussion of what they mean by the word "racist." But even if they did define what they meant, what is the problem with "BEING" a racist? Is it a crime? Are there legal punishments in the United States for being anything? Is it a crime to be black? Is it a crime to ask stupid questions? If so many journalists would be in jail for many years. 

Under American jurisprudence two elements are necessary for being convicted of a crime. One is mens rea. That is the mental element which shows that the actor, accused, knew what he did was wrong. The second element is actus reus, an act which is a crime. Speech is not an act. Speech expressing an opinion is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. and most state constitutions. There are accusations of speech being a crime, which is one more nonsensical pattern of misguided obsession of journalists and ordinary citizens. On 20/20 all three asked if Sterling IS a racist. Being a racist to these misguided journalists is a crime? Only in the minds of propagandists, racists who condemn white people for their opinions but allow black people to have similar or worse opinions of whites but are not held accountable. Here's my question. Is it part of human nature to dislike people who are different? Is the demand to eliminate racism from humans only possible if you eliminate all humans? 

[The day after posting the below comments a young black man reportedly working for the FBI began conducting surveillance and harassment. It began with the usual psychologists conducting evaluations as I did errands. Evaluations without consent or court order are violations of state and U.S. privacy statutes. But as psychologists and the FBI believe that laws do not apply to them.

This young black racist FBI thug replaced (for a few hours) the thoughtful graduate student in psychology at Harvard University Medical School who leads the daily harassment, surveillance, sleep disturbances and computer tampering for the past three years.

That was followed by the usual young women as bait as I did other errands. And later at my residence owned and operated by the President and Fellows of Harvard College where he used high tech illegal firearms for attempts to cause me to have a heart attack or a stroke. That may be attempted murder, with malice aforethought. This is how young black men act toward elder white men. They act out their hatred, especially if they are criminal thugs employed by the FBI. Just as James Bulger was allowed to murder up to 60 persons during his reign as crime boss in Boston these young black racist FBI employees do similar criminal acts. 

That is how Rev. Sharpton abuses his FBI authority. When he speaks his racist venom, is he speaking for the FBI? He does not say. Is he held accountable for his racist rants and for stirring up mayhem and murder? Not at all. Because the FBI uses criminal thugs like this young man. After 43 years of previous FBI abuses, he attacks a 70-year-old white man. Local, state and U.S. governments refuse to protect me even after they used me to fight organized crime for 15 years and did not pay me. That is what happened to that formerly great law enforcement agency. They are now criminal thugs who abuse their power for personal and for political purposes. Young black males are sacred victims, privileged, and may not be criticized. Nor can anyone that they admire be criticized. Anyone who does especially if it is a white man, can be attacked and threatened. He included threats "We will kill you." in his harassment in the early hours of May Day 2014.

One more criminal thug joins the long line of predators attacking a vulnerable civilian. He works to destroy the remains of spirit, hopes and dreams, which were killed off by previous criminal thugs, who abused their government authority.  

One more bottom feeder conducting the same pattern previously conducted by the CIA, then the FBI, then Communists, then local police, then crime families, then Harvard University campus police and then Cambridge school department holy thugs. Who is this latest criminal black racist trying to provoke violence at stores, at libraries and as I sleep? Is he the same FBI thug who harassed me and threatened me for 19 years? A reliable source reports that a black homosexual was employed by the Cambridge police, and worked for the Bulger faction of the Boston FBI. He was allegedly seen speaking with Bulger in December 1994, one month before Bulger became a fugitive. That is what it looks like from here.

One more of the Bulger thugs employed by the Boston FBI office. No wonder they were unable to prevent the bombings at the Boston Marathon and catch the Cambridge middle school teacher who loves child pornography and placed a video camera in a Somerville middle school. They are too busy harassing me every day. Public safety priorities in Massachusetts on the Harvard University campus.

Here is what makes the idiocracy that runs Massachusetts so precious. Especially if you believe major news organizations and their priorities. They focus reporting about a billionaire who owns a professional basketball team. He asked his employee not to bring black people with her to basketball games. She is allegedly a daughter of a black parent and a Mexican parent.

Millionaire thug athletes and celebrities demand that this man sell his franchise.The head of the NBA banned him for life from attending NBA games. This sounds like the greatest atrocity since Genghis was in Kiev. One player said they are slaves. Slaves earning millions of dollars a year to play basketball? Yes they are all sacred victims, professional victims. Thus said Al "FBI informant" Sharpton, and Jesse "Show me the money" Jackson.

So who do the intellectuals at Harvard University, which dominates the state government in Massachusetts, choose to conduct criminal abuses of a white 70-year-old man who survived 43 years of government abuse? Of course the most victimized victim, a black homosexual who works for the FBI in Boston. How fitting in Massachusetts where the FBI is known to have enabled 60 homicides and framed four white men for murder, which the FBI knew they did not commit. Add to this the fact that Barack "Typical white person" Obama and his acolyte Eric "White people are cowards" Holder, refuse to enforce civil rights laws in a race neutral manner. See, e.g., J. Christian Adams' book, Injustice; and John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky's book, Who's Counting?

In Massachusetts at Harvard University it is acceptable for a black racist homosexual employed by the FBI to harass, to provoke, to follow and to broadcast character assassination targeting a 70-year-old white man who survived 43 years of criminal government abuses. But the criminal FBI thug is a victim. Victims can do what they want because of their victimhood.]

[From article]
Today, a team owner can sit with his mistress at games, give her millions of dollars in gifts, precipitate a lawsuit from the old coot’s wife demanding return of their community property — and none of that even merits a mention in the first 14 paragraphs of the scandal stories about him.
Yes, what he said about blacks — under the ham-handedly leading questions of his mistress — was nasty. You were expecting this guy to be a prince on race relations? Perhaps if a little more attention had been paid to Sterling’s years of whoring, we wouldn’t be so shocked at his trashy comments about black people.
About a decade ago, Sterling sued a prostitute he had been seeing, for the return of property he had given to — as he called her — this “$500-a-trick freak.”

[From article]
Jason Riley, the Wall Street Journal’s Political Diary editor, does not find the NAACP’s reaction to the controversy surrounding racist remarks made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling to be particularly genuine. Riley noted that the NAACP gave Sterling a lifetime achievement award and was prepared to give him a second so long as they benefited financially from their association with him. Riley noted that this “pattern of behavior” from groups like the NAACP and MSNBC host and activist Rev. Al Sharpton.
[. . .]
“This is another example of how the civil rights movement has become an industry,” Riley added. “You have groups like the NAACP, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, others who basically go around the country shaking down corporations and individuals for money.”
“This guy gave them money,” Reilly said of Sterling, “and that’s what’s most important to them.”
[. . .]
President Barack Obama’s comments on the Sterling controversy were fine, but that the president is not supportive of “racial unity.”
“When you pal around with Al Sharpton, you are not into racial unity,” he concluded.

When will these race mongers be required to define what they mean? Why are they silent about the black youth gangs violently attacking vulnerable white people? Why are they silent about the refusal of Holder and Obama to enforce civil rights laws in a race neutral manner? Expressing one's opinion is constitutionally protected speech. Is the concept of free speech only for speech that you like?

Lee said he also wishes white NBA players spoke out.
“Outside from Dirk Nowitzki, I really never heard from the white players,” Lee told CNN.
[. . .]
President Barack Obama said Sunday that comments reportedly made by Sterling are “incredibly offensive racist statements,” before casting them as part of a continuing legacy of slavery and segregation that Americans must confront.

Spike Lee wants white players to speak out about speech that he does not like. "That is speech protected by the U.S. Constitution." How's that for speaking out? Or "Well, why do black people remain silent about violent criminal acts by gangs of black youth, who target vulnerable innocent white people? That is not protected speech but criminal acts directed against white people." Lee equates multi millionaire thug athletes to slaves. Is he neurotic, or psychotic? Or is he just broadcasting propaganda and stirring up racial animosity among the young and uneducated? Millionaire thug athletes and Spike Lee are ungrateful for the opportunity to earn millions and to live like millionaires while others scrape by during this major economic downturn. 

As for Obama's misguided attack on white people who voted for him, and the 600,000 white people who died to end slavery he should resign before he gets impeached. Obama, like Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson, does not define racism. He just uses allegations to attack white people. And what law does "BEING" a racist violate? Status crimes of being a drug addict and being black are not crimes. But being a racist is a crime? Stuff it. Obama is the most lawless president that I know of. He shows no remorse while his Attorney General exploits the sympathy of white citizens. No shame indicates that Holder and Obama are psychopaths. Spike Lee is a multi millionaire race monger who joins FBI informant Sharpton abusing his FBI protections as James Bulger did in Boston. These racialist thugs show no shame using race to avoid criminal liability.

Why does Spike Lee, Holder and Obama remain silent about gangs of black youth attacking vulnerable innocent white people? See Colin Flaherty's White Girl Bleed a Lot, and his web site by the same title. Those are violent criminal acts nationally. To these race mongers, stirring up racial animosity has a higher priority than stopping crime. Why not celebrate the 600,000 white men who died in a war to end slavery? Why do Obama and Holder refuse to enforce civil rights laws in a race neutral manner? Are they racists too? Discrimination based on race is unlawful. It violates laws. Opinion speech is protected speech. See J. Christian Adams' book, Injustice; and John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky's Who's Counting.

NBA Finals Get High Ratings, Boston Media Ignores

This one basketball game in the NBA finals attracted a large audience. The entire game was broadcast on the ABC Boston affiliate. But Boston news media refuse to report sports scores other than when a Boston team in playing. They ignore the finals and the playoffs and report scheduled games of Boston teams. One news director told me It is because of time constraints. Time constraints? But they have time to report scheduled games? It is one indication of why New Englanders are parochial and intolerant.

NBA Domestic Abuse

Kim Donaghy said her husband Tim, a disgraced NBA referee, "had been
prescribed medication for 'mental-health problems,' but apparently had
not been taking it regularly." (STEFANIE COHEN and TODD VENEZIA, "
'HE IS GOING TO SNAP,'" New York Post, March 21, 2008) In addition to
being a cause of crime, can we now add domestic abuses when
psychiatric drugs are stopped? Why begin taking a chemical if stopping
causes violence? Why take chemicals to treat illnesses that only
psychiatrists can see? How much longer will courts play a role in
causing crime? How much longer will the taxpayer subsidize causing
violence?

'HE IS GOING TO SNAP'
By STEFANIE COHEN and TODD VENEZIA
New York Post
March 21, 2008 -- Talk about a flagrant foul!

The wife of crooked NBA ref Tim Donaghy is seeking a restraining order
after he allegedly flew into a rage at their Florida home and
threatened to beat her before the horrified eyes of their children.

"He told me that he was going to knock my f---ing head off my body,"
said Kim Donaghy in court papers requesting the restraining order.

"He was enraged, out of control, cursing at me in front of our four
children and making threats.

"We were all crying and scared so I called the police. The officer
witnessed Tim scream and threaten a friend of mine that came to help
me with the children."

Kim, who is filing for divorce, also claimed the blowup last Friday
was only the tip of the iceberg.

"He hits the children when he becomes frustrated," she said in the
court papers. "He verbally and mentally abuses them."

Lawyers for Tim and Kim did not return requests for comment.

Her dramatic account of the incident was meant to convince a judge to
bar the disgraced ref from coming within 500 feet of her or their
children.

"I am scared for myself and my children. He is going to snap," Kim
said in the papers.

Tim is facing up to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty last year
to supplying information to crooked gamblers on NBA games he worked.
He is free on bail in that case.

He is known for his arrogance and volatile temper, which he has taken
out on neighbors and even NBA players who crossed him, according to
reports.

In the wake of his downfall, his wife filed for divorce. Nevertheless,
they continued to live together for a time in their home in a posh
section of Bradenton, Fla.

Kim claimed her husband took advantage of their continued proximity to
search through her private papers and communications.

She said her hubby took documents from her files and copied e-mails
from her lawyer.

When she confronted him about it last week, he grew enraged, she claimed.

In addition to the couple's four daughters - ages 6 to 12 - one of the
kids' friends reportedly witnessed the tirade.

"She came home and said that he [Tim] got mad. She couldn't say much
more because she is so young," said the mother of the 6-year-old
friend, who asked that their names not be published.

Kim said she took her kids and moved out of the family home that
night. In her restraining-order request, she asked that her hubby be
barred from the home.

She also asked for temporary alimony and child support totaling $4,000 a month.

Kim said Tim had been prescribed medication for "mental-health
problems," but apparently had not been taking it regularly.

The restraining-order request is scheduled to be heard in court on Monday.
