Leave it to woke Hollywood to poison even America's favorite pastimes with radical left-wing politics. Filmmaker Spike Lee turned what should have been a celebration of athletic excellence into another anti-Israel propaganda showcase at the 2026 NBA All-Star Game in Southern California.
While Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdijam was making history as the first Israeli-born player ever selected for the NBA All-Star Game—a moment that should unite Americans in celebrating immigrant success and athletic achievement—Lee decided this historic milestone was the perfect time for a 'Free Palestine' political stunt.
This is exactly the kind of divisive garbage that's driving ordinary Americans away from professional sports. Here's a young man who came to America, worked his way up through our system, and achieved something no one from his country had ever accomplished before. That's the American Dream in action, folks.
But instead of celebrating this incredible achievement, we get another dose of Hollywood's radical anti-Israel agenda. Lee's timing couldn't have been more deliberate or more disgusting.
The Left's War on Israel Continues
This isn't just about basketball—it's about the broader assault on America's strongest ally in the Middle East. While President Trump works to restore America's leadership on the world stage and strengthen our alliance with Israel, leftist celebrities like Lee are busy pushing Hamas talking points at sporting events.
The contrast couldn't be starker: On one side, you have Avdijam representing everything great about America—hard work, determination, and achievement regardless of where you came from. On the other side, you have a privileged Hollywood elitist using his platform to promote the same propaganda pushed by terrorists and their sympathizers.
This is why Americans are fed up with woke sports and celebrity culture. We tune in to escape politics, not to get lectured by millionaire filmmakers who hate our allies and everything America stands for.
Patriots deserve better than having their entertainment hijacked by anti-American propaganda. When will these celebrities learn that Americans want sports, not socialist sermons?
