Former England player and current BBC commentator Gary Lineker is known as a man who doesn't really like Israel, to say the least. On Wednesday, he took his blindness to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict a step further when he retweeted a 13-minute video of journalist Owen Jones interviewing an Israeli professor named Raz Segal who claims Israel committed "genocide" against Palestinians and wrote, "Worth your time."
Lineker, who played 80 times for the Three Lions and scored 48 international goals, did not condemn the massacre of Hamas in the communities near the Gaza Strip on October <>, but whenever he has the opportunity he has, he is quick to slander Israel for its conduct.
Worth 13 minutes of anyone's time. https://t.co/noj9iecVWs

Recently, former Chelsea manager Abraham Grant posted a video referring to Lineker, telling him in part: "It's a message to Gary Lineker that I respect a lot as a football player, but to be honest, that respect is gone. I follow him and what he says, he said that the English government reminds him of the government of Germany in the past, the one my parents and grandparents suffered from. They were murdered in the Holocaust and what most resembles that is what happened on October 7."
