The new home for the political stuff in the Cotto-Foreman thread is here

[CFH]

Ok, I'm just passing through quick today, but as strong as I feel about the Israeli situation (& I do feel they are a terrorist state who should face severe punishment for invading what was effectively Turkish soil in international waters), it is ridiculous that Yuri Foreman (who learnt to box as the only Jew alongside many Palestinians and Arabs) should have to deal with this hate, it's pathetic. I hope he beats Cotto now... and not only because of me & POB's bet.

To be fair, I've only seen one person acting that way here, though I am sure there are more elsewhere.

Even one person, who is a respected forum member, behaving that way is embarassing.

I don't disagree with that, I just don't think there is any broad undercurrent of hatred being directed towards Foreman in any significant way as a result of his Jewish background.
