    And now the Lefties & Arabs are crucifying him on Twitter for taking it down & flooding his page with Pallywood propaganda...

    Some of you guys pay too much attention to this stuff. Go read youtube comments while you're at it. Like I said, Dwight needs to focus on basketball. Basketball players should not be tweeting about serious political discussions.

    He has an influence over his fans and there are two sides to this. You would not be happy if he said free israel.

    Im not staying he can't, but that he shouldn't. His boss is Jewish along with his possibly one of his teammates. Consider their feelings.

    Why is #freepalestine offensive to Jewish people?

    Haha yea how is free Palestine offensive to Jewish ppl?

    Plus there is a pretty good portion of non orthodox Jews who are sympathetic towards Palestinians.

    I did not say it was offensive to Jewish people. I said Dwight needs to consider his teammate's feelings on the matter, his bosses, along with his fans that are Jewish. It may or may not offend them depending on how they feel.

    It doesn't matter how they feel.. if #freepalestine is causing you to feel butthurt there is something wrong with your basic senses as a human

    He might have found a free publicity gold mine. Analogous to fashion magazines doing black face editorials. Lets see how it plays out.
