Of course boycotting the Kiasma museum is antisemitism

Blogging about Israel and the Arab world since, oh, forever.

Tamares has equity stakes in at least 25 companies covering a wide range of interests, including entertainment and technology. One of them is Kanafaim, which is in turn another holding company that has four business units, including El Al Airlines and Maintenance Wings. The latter provides maintenance services for the Israel Air Force.

This is a minuscule part of his holdings and the relationship between the museum, Zabludowicz's art ventures and Maintenance Wings is nonexistent.

Boycotting the museum because of this tenuous link makes as much sense as boycotting every company that includes Vanguard Funds as one of its major investors because Vanguard also invests in defense contractors.

Anyone can find an excuse to boycott any Jew they want if they look hard enough for a reason. And that is exactly what the boycotters here are doing - including every one of the 200 artists.

Every major art gallery and museum can find a patron that also invests in companies that are involved with ventures that some will consider unethical - if one is willing to dig for them.

But the interest in finding such links begins and ends with rich Jews.

what are you thoughts of iffhs south american (or latin america) team of the decade?

if you think my first reaction other than "oh dang that's a LOT of Brazilians, good for them!" was "ITS YORELI RINCON!!!!!!!!!!" you'd be right 😂

I think it's interesting that some players who were banned by their national teams made this team. That's one way to see that the federations really out here FUCKING UP.

Bc I am the way i am and I can't write short posts, have this here

Banini is one of the Argentinian recently banned for demanding payment for Argentina's tournament performance and the lack of support from the Federation.

Yoreli is arguably the best female soccer player in Colombia, also famously banned for helping her teammates demand better conditions and payment for tournament performance (she was also marked as persona nongrata for calling the league on their bullshit for taking Atletico Hulia's league cup win money and giving them to the men's team)

I don't think it's any secret that Marta might be the greatest female soccer player in the world, if not one of the best soccer players in the world. She's broken barriers, become an icon for equality, a leader for the sport, she's incredibly skilled, I can't give her more credit if I tried.

I mean.... Formiga is 42 fucking years old and she is still kicking dude. She's in France kicking ass but she's been in Sweden, had time in the NWSL, she has 200 caps in the NT. Frankly Formiga will retire whenever the hell she feels like it, or she'll drop dead on the pitch at age 90 still showing the kids how it's done. However it may be, Formiga is AMAZING.

I could go through everyone but, these women are all amazing and accomplished and have struggled with their NTs to get recognition for their skill, the sport, and so the future generations can play the game they love without having to struggle like they did.

Of course I would love to see some other players here (I would've loved to see Daniela Montoya somewhere in there since she'll probably retire, but I can't deny that Erika and Carla Guerrero have earned their place too).

Overall I like it! I'm hopeful that the next time a team of the decade happens, it'll include players from more varied federations who are finally receiving the support they deserve (and, as a proud Colombian, hopefully I'll see more of my girls here)

Your IFFHS South America Team of the Decade

GK - Christiane Endler 🇨🇱

Defenders - Tamares 🇧🇷, Carla Guerrero 🇨🇱, Erika 🇧🇷, Fabiana 🇧🇷

Midfield - Estefania Banini 🇦🇷, Debinha 🇧🇷, Formiga 🇧🇷

Forwards - Marta 🇧🇷, Christiane 🇧🇷, Yoreli Rincon 🇨🇴

That would be 7 Brazilians, 2 Chileans, 1 Argentinian and 1 Colombian player.

Here's hoping for many more country's in 10yrs!
