Hollywood leftist Spike Lee once again showed his true colors Sunday night, turning the NBA All-Star Game into his personal anti-Israel protest stage by sporting a full pro-Palestinian outfit while Israeli-born athletes competed just feet away.

The "Do the Right Thing" director – who apparently can't take his own movie's advice – strutted into the arena decked out in Palestinian flag colors and messaging, making a calculated political statement at what should have been a celebration of basketball talent.

What makes this stunt particularly disgusting? Israeli-born players were actually participating in the very event Lee was using for his anti-Israel virtue signaling. Talk about classless timing.

This is exactly the kind of woke Hollywood garbage that everyday Americans are sick and tired of. These pampered celebrities can't help themselves – they have to inject their radical politics into everything, even sports events that families watch together.

Lee's pathetic display comes at a time when anti-Semitism is surging across America, fueled by the same progressive ideology that Hollywood elites like Lee constantly push. Instead of using his platform to bring people together, he chooses division and controversy.

The NBA has increasingly become a platform for left-wing activism, from players kneeling during the national anthem to coaches spouting anti-American rhetoric. Now we have directors using All-Star weekend as their personal protest venue.

Patriots remember when sports were about athletic excellence and bringing communities together, not radical political statements that alienate half the audience. But that's what happens when woke ideology infects every institution in America.

This is why President Trump's leadership is so crucial – we need someone who will stand up to this cultural Marxism and defend American values, including our strong alliance with Israel.

How long will sports fans tolerate having radical politics shoved down their throats every time they just want to watch a game?

This is exactly why I stopped watching the NBA years ago. These woke celebrities can't just stick to entertainment - they have to inject their radical politics into everything. Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East and deserves our support, not this disrespectful grandstanding.

Couldn't agree more! The NBA lost me when they started bowing to China while lecturing Americans about social justice.

Spike Lee has always been a divisive figure but this crosses a line. Using a sporting event that's supposed to bring people together to push an anti-Israel agenda is shameful. What's next - boycotting Jewish businesses in Brooklyn?
