From Israeli citizens to the Toronto Raptors - Please do not help Israel whitewash its occupation and apartheid crimes
A letter has been sent to the Toronto Raptors from Israeli citizens, today, July 1, 2019.
It begins:
"We are Israeli citizens, active against the occupation, apartheid, and colonialism policies of successive Israeli governments towards the Palestinian people . Many of us are basketball and NBA fans. We note that some of you have already spoken out in favor of turning down an invitation to the White House under the racist President Donald Trump. We congratulate you for making the right decision.
However, we are alarmed by reports about your team’s visit to Israel. We believe such a visit would serve the Israeli government in its attempts to whitewash its racist policies. We therefore call on you not to take part in it."
