Anti-Semitism: High School Girls' Basketball Game in LA Turns Ugly


A high school girls' basketball game in  Los Angeles turned ugly Saturday night when a team from a Jewish school (Shalhevet) and its fans were taunted by the opposing team's (Buena Park High School) fans with anti-Semitisc chants and images of the swastika and the Palestinian flag. The below article is from the (Los Angeles) Jewish Journal. The game took place at Shalhevet in Los Angeles.

“My friend was standing across the gym by the other team when she texted me and told me they were chanting Kanye West at her the entire game. They were shouting at her and yelling that they were going to fight after the game.”

It is no coincidence or accident that images of the swastika and the Palestinian flag were exhibited at the event. Jew-hatred and the Palestinian cause go hand in hand.

Twenty years ago, we were watching this pro-Palestinian, anti-Jewish movement spreading like a cancer on our university campuses. Now it has already metastasized into society at large-including our high schools.

I see as yet no mention of this incident on the webpage of Buena Park High School.
