2. Let Him Off
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (01.21.14)
No harm done. Why are you people SO sensitive?

Gady ,   Mexico City   (01.21.14)

4. WBA Zoopla and Anelka – The Picture says it all
Tim ,   Brighton   (01.21.14)
As he wears a WBA Shirt emblazoned with the WBA and the Sponsors Zoopla Logo Nicholas Quenelle Pea Brain Anelka decides to do a Quenelle Salute for the entire world to see! The Zoopla and WBA and the obnoxious Quenelle in one and the same image The impact on the Zoopla let alone the WBA Brand is immense Did Nicholas Quenelle Pea Brain Anelka not think his so called trivial Salute was compromising and betraying Zoopla, WBA Club and by getting himself banned letting down his Fans - the very people who are paying his inflated wages?
5. What didn't this so-called professional athlete

IESKY ,   KY Israel   (01.21.14)
YNET, Why do you have to keep publishing that offensive picture - do you want the whole world to learn how its done?
7. so when shall we take up
sharpshin ,   USA   (01.21.14)
...the shouting and chanting of "Death to Arabs" at Israeli soccer games? The rampages of fans through shopping malls? If hate speech about Jews is condemned, hate speech BY Jews also should be censured.
8. "Let Him Off"
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (01.21.14)
I am glad that you had the courage to ask this. It is a fair question, and needs to be answered. In our Passover celebration, we address our duty to help those in need of knowledge. This is certainly one of those times. Genocide has been, and continues to be, a daily issue for the Jewish people. For my Grandparents, the Nazi's were real, and their murderous ways equally real. So many of us had family and loved ones tortured and murdered by the Nazi's. These are not myths, or stories, or anything less than painful realities. Today, we as Jew's continue to face the same threats. The names have changed, but the threats the same. Ingrained in our hearts and souls is a bellwether stance; Never Again! It is not a matter of being "sensitive", it is a matter of life and death.

Steve ,   Canada   (01.21.14)
It's genetic. The same gene that causes us to be cheap, conniving and have big noses.
10. #2 you really should consult a physician
(01.21.14)
Before abruptly going off your meds! And see a Jewish Physician at that!!!
11. Freedom of expression.

12. #2 I think your Vegemite is contaminated
(01.21.14)
With black mold and your brain if you have one probably looks like Swiss cheese? No matter coming from decendents of a PENIAL COLONY!!!
13. Needs a A kicking.
Jarvis ,   Joseph, USA   (01.21.14)
Confused Nazi. Look at him LOL. The picture is confusing to me. I'm having a headache.

Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (01.21.14)
Does the word "convict" mean anything to you? Ah... thought so ;)
15. #10 jewish physicians are contaminated
james ,   ny usa   (01.21.14)
with racist virus and that is why everyone is so racist towards jews lol
16. #3 Gady
(01.21.14)
Of course you are a racist! What has Anelka's skin-color to do with his anti-Semitism?
17. Quenelle and 1968 Olympics Black Power salute, fights racism
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.21.14)
....against Black "infiltrators" put in an Israel concentration camp in 2013-14, and against Whites in 1968 Jim Crow America.
18. Blowing one's nose will next be anti Semetic
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.22.14)
Strange when the Israelis aren't even Semitic people. Marek Edelman last surviving leader of Warsaw Ghetto uprising said ''You guys are a fraud, a literary fiction. The Jewish people are dead, and you have simply thought yourselves up, looking for originality and exoticism. You are not for real.''
19. 8. ''You guys are a fraud, a literary fiction"
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.22.14)
"The Jewish people are dead, and you have simply thought yourselves up, looking for originality and exoticism. You are not for real.''
20. #18 Fake quotes won't help you
Benji ,   US   (01.22.14)
Anelka is toast. He should never have followed orders from that mediocre, banned racist from France. Good riddance to both of them.
21. 20 All this perceived insult to a bunch of frauds
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.23.14)
The same murderers behind 66mil more Russian Christians than Hitler's Concentration Camp
