Remember how former professional footballer, English sports broadcaster, and Israel-hater Gary Lineker claimed he was not in the slightest bit antisemitic, just “anti-bad people”?
That was of course before he was sprung posting a rat emoji to represent “Zionists”
Nothing to see here.

leading to a chain of passes events that resulted in him leaving the BBC.
Gary Lineker has clearly had time to reflect, and he is now circumspect about what he shares and doesn’t share.
Just kidding. He’s back at it!
Lineker just shared a video of Tony Greenstein comparing us to the Nazis.

Gary Lineker has shared a video of Jewish "notorious" antizionist Tony Greenstein claiming that “Zionism is in the tradition of the Nazis who persecuted Jews”.
The clip was posted by CAGE International after Greenstein, who's father… pic.twitter.com/KtgaT2OguJ
Comparing Jews to Nazis is antisemitism 101, and what makes this even worse is he shared it from a notorious antisemite.
So let’s get this straight. Gary Lineker has now compared us both to Nazis as well as to the rodents the Nazis used to demonize us.
Some people learn from their mistakes. Others just keep dragging the goalposts into the gutter. Lineker might claim he’s “anti‑bad people,” but at this point he’s clearly playing for their team.
