Michael Jordan Targetted by Zionist Terrorist Group

by 007
Since famous star basketball player Michael Jordan now wears a black armband to show support for the Palestinian struggle for freedom, as well as other causes like the fight against globalization, he has been targetted by the Anti-Defamation League, aka ADL. The ADL has been identified by the FBI as a terrorist group, and it is known to act as an intelligence gatherer for the Israeli Mossad, which is like the CIA to America, and has been successly sued by those who it has illegally spied upon. The ADL is also known to be the propaganda arm of Israel.
Because Michael Jordan has decided to publically support Palestine, the ADL
>has targetted him, according to the following "Infoshop News" article that
>was posted to the BlackList. (Article inserted below my comments.)
>
>The ADL, so-called Anti-Defamation League, is the racist zionist group
>involved in spying on American citizens, defending Hillfiger's racist
>remarks
>on Oprah's show, and other such activities. It is notable that Meyer
>Lansky's granddaugther is the ADL official liaison with law
>enforcement...this should give you some idea of the credibility of this
>truly
>terrorist organization. (Lansky is the zionist gangster who founded and
>masterminded the "Syndicate" -- he is the real-life hoodlum that the
>characte
>"Hyman Roth" in the Godfather II is based on -- in collaboration with
>Charles
>"Lucky" Luciano), this is what one zionist writing for the Chicago Tribune
>had to say about Lansky and the founding of illegal settler colony state of
>Israel
>
>"Israel might have been stillborn, except that its plucky first generation
>found weapons wherever it could, including critical contributions from
>Jewish-American gangsters such as Meyer Lansky and Mickey Cohen."

>Michael Jordan wears armband to "support the worldwide resistance"

>Basketball superstar Michael Jordan, who recently announced that he will
>return for a second season with the Washington Wizards, has decided to
>display solidarity with a variety of causes by wearing a black armband
>during games.
>
>After discussing his new season with the Wizards at a press conference,
>Jordan was asked about the significance of the black armband he had been
>spotted wearing.
>
>"It's in the tradition of silent but visible protest," Jordan said,
>"like the Tinker kids, Tommie Smith, and John Carlos."
>
>Jordan was referring to the famous Tinker v. Des Moines free-speech case
>in which two high school students won the right to wear black armbands
>in school as a protest against the Vietnam war, as well as the two black
>US athletes who gave the Black Power salute during the 1968 Olympics.
>
>When pressed by reporters to explain what the armband represented,
>Jordan continued: "Well, a variety of things, actually. Number one, I'd
>like to express some solidarity with the people protesting against the
>IMF and World Bank. I mean, read the stories in the paper -- they all
>talk about what the protesters are doing, and not why they're
>protesting. So I thought I could draw some attention to that."
>
>Jordan went on to say that he supported the Palestinian struggle and was
>firmly against what he called "US imperialist antics" in the Middle
>East.
>
>"What are we doing there? Come on, y'all. Oil. Oil, and old scores to
>settle. That's it!" Jordan said.
>
>However, it was Jordan's scathing words for his employer, Nike, which
>were most surprising. His voice rose and he counted his reasons on his
>fingers as he spoke.
>
>"You know, most of all, I feel bad for dealing with Nike, for so many
>reasons. It bothers me that they are still using child labor. It bothers
>me that they have inundated the Third World with billboards advertising
>their high priced shoes made for pennies by little kids. And I'm talking
>about the Third World in the US, in the inner city, as well as in Asia
>and South America, you know?"
>
>Jordan also said that he felt some responsibility for speaking out since
>he had been employed as a Nike spokesperson for so long.
>
>When asked what would happen with his current Nike contract as well as
>his millions of dollars in assets from Nike endorsements, Jordan paused
>and rubbed his head before replying.
>
>"I'm not sure yet. I've been thinking about setting up a foundation or
>fund that would grant this money to nonprofits and other grassroots
>groups fighting hard on these issues. Something's gotta be done with all
>this money, that's for sure. I want to support the worldwide
>resistance."
>
>Nike spokesperson Maria Eitel said in a faxed press statement that the
>company was "sorry to see Michael turn his back on our lucrative
>partnership." The company denied using children in their factories or
>tolerating sweatshop conditions despite recent reports by groups like
>Global Exchange citing Nike for low standards and labor violations.
>
>Myrna Shinbaum, public relations director for the Jewish Anti-Defamation
>League, said that Jordan was "obviously anti-Semitic" and vowed that any
>celebrity who came out in support of the Palestinian cause would be
>"utterly closed off from public life forever."
>
>Jordan later said that he was sorry for upsetting people, but that he
>felt obligated to "finally follow my conscience instead of the almighty
>dollar." He strongly urged all other Americans to do the same.

Is anybody monitoring this?
This article is a hoax.

Writing fake articles about Michael Jordan and making up quotes and attributing them to the ADL (the ADL denies the comments) just fuels the fire.

Please, search to see if any other news agency reported this. If only one person witnessed this press conference, I have to believe that it didn't happen.

That is the biggest pile of bullshit i've seen in a long time. Again, "Indymedia" (AKA: Islam's on-line propaganda machine) holds to its reputation.

"'Indymedia' (AKA: Islam's on-line propaganda machine)"

Uhm, I think it's called an 'open newswire' . . .

That's right folks, write anything saying one word against Sharon and you're labelled by the zionists as one thing or another.

We don't go to the zionist sites and attack people, so why don't you go back to where you're comfortable if you don't like it here, and stop bothering us.

Where and when was this press conference held?
by Someone
And how about this....

since when did the FBI label the ADL as a terrorist group?

Sounds more like a Jew-hater's wet dream.

Well, the string wouldn't have been complete without Nessie trying to blame the anti-Zionist posting on Zi-i-i-ionist black-ops. The sound of one knee jerking.
