Marca abuse Spurs

[Chris Flynn]

When was Jewish/Jew a race?

About 3000 years

 

[archiewasking]

They can talk, their manager looks like a jew

One of the nastiest and most unnecessary posts ever on here. Someone lock the door behind him.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he wasn't being completely serious.

Yeah @mil1lion is one of the more reasonable posters on this site, something tells me there was no malice behind that comment.

I beleive the consensus in the jewish community is its one and the same. Biblical jews being their ancestors

 

[newbie]

At a Guess I’d say Arsenal and Chelsea have Just as many Jewish fans as we do.Bring brought up a North London Jew ,Id say the split between my Jewish friends was pretty even.

Man united have more London Jewish supports lol

I find it hard to accept that what is posted on page one is an apology, when they print the last paragraph. 'Spurs traditionally have a large Jewish following and sections of the club's supporters refers to themselves as "Yids" -- a negative way of describing a person of the Jewish faith. Again showing their ignorance, not knowing what Yid stands for.

Very hot topic probably not the current forum to debate... It has be discussed however that Biblical Jew's look more like Moussa Sissoko /Anthony Joshua than say Daniel Levy / Benjamin Netanyahu


Anyway back to football hope we can beat Liverpool and set a real mark of intent

They are a Ethnoreligious group. It doesn't really matter as they are discriminated against as if they were a race (like I said previously) even if scientifically they are not.

Anyway as @double0 said, this isn't the thread for it and I can already see what topic we will end up rowing about...

Your point?

I suppose you also believe Jesus was blonde with blue eyes.

When was Jewish/Jew a race?

Are you being serious?

In fairness, that's completely accurate. Yid is a negative way of describing a Jewish person, we just use it in a sort of positive way, although even then it's pretty controversial even among our own fans.

Why on earth would he be blonde and blue eyed and why would i believe such nonsense? Thats a Christian/Roman/Western deception, no?

Jews are more like a civilization.....

I have always thought that YIDS was a shortened version of YIDDISH, which I believe is central european language.

Originally Yid just meant Jew and so Yiddish is the language that Yids speak/spoke in central europe. But nowadays Yid is universally considered to be a derogatory term, the one exception being some Spurs fans. Much like how Negro used to just be what black people were called but now it's considered offensive.

Yes I'm aware that spurs fans say it in a non-derogatory way, and I say/sing it myself, but that doesn't change the fact that it's considered an offensive and derogatory word by everyone else, so what it said in that article is completely correct - Yid is a negative way to describe a Jewish person

I wasn't expecting such a reaction. I just made a silly joke because Zidane has a big nose. Is that considered so offensive? Sorry for any offense guys.

I should've said Benzema. His nose is massive

So us Jews think its OK, but its considered an offensive and derogatory word by everyone else, In which case its racism on their behalf.
