That isn't just like America, in the US it took about a hundred years for black people to fight for the right to participate in sports with white people. How could Americans so easily forget segregation in life and in sports?

You only changed your tune after WWII, and even then the first black person on a white team didn't occur until the 1950's.

There have been no shortage of ethnic Palestinians playing for Israel national teams, also Muslims who are not Palestinian like Bibras Natcho. They just usually have Israeli citizenship.

She is not a citizen. She only has an identity card which are issued to all residents, including noncitizens. She is from Bethlehem in the West Bank so most likely, her card is color coded to mark her as a Palestinian.

You seem to have little knowledge and thus understanding of life in that area. Palestinians (Arabs) can have Israeli citizenship. I'm guessing she has roots or family in Israeli territory or was born there..or thousands of other personal possible circumstance

There have only been about half a dozen ethnic Palestinians to play in the Israel Basketball Premier League since the first in the late 80s. It’s not very common, which is why her story is such a remarkable one.

Yes but she doesn’t. She only has an ID card, not citizenship.

I remeber thinking permanent residency and citizenship are practically the same here, I had a friend in high school who had residency instead of citizenship.

After looking it up, you are correct. They indeed are not the same.

In the Hebrew version of the article* it explicitly says she has a blue identity card.

Thank you. I wonder why they didn’t just say that she’s a citizen and why they are describing her as Palestinian rather than Arab Israeli?

Probably because she lives in Bethlaham.

Really depends on which team she's playing for, some of the teams have very jingoistic/racist fans, others not so much.

don’t you have something better to do then stalk me on Reddit ? seems like your the paranoid one. why are you so afraid of the world finding out about the crimes committed in Palestine ? the human rights abuses and violations committed daily by the IDF ? It’s clear as day that anyone making any comment on a matter reported on here about Israel is downvoted to shit. I for one am not scared to voice my opinion nor do I give a fuck if your Jewish or not. you could be any religion in Israel and I wouldn’t give a fuck. it’s the fact that anything negative done by Israel is automatically considered anti-Semetic. That excuse is getting old. your crimes committed against the innocent people of Palestine will always be a subject I’m interested in and you can’t shut me up so suck my dick.
