    Obviously if the crowd did chant something antisemitic, that is wildly inappropriate, but “Free Palestine” is not antisemitism

    The specific chants were directed towards New England’s Israeli striker Dor Turgeman, with broadcast microphones capturing fans chanting “free Palestine” shortly before he scored a goal.

      Yeah, they were being completely appropriate by chanting Free Palestine… until he started taunting them. Then the fans reportedly started chanting Death to Israel, which is not cool. However, the supporters dispute anyone saying Death to Israel. They said they were chanting, in French, “the world detests Israel.”
