Before Boston's game against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight (between Thursday and Friday), a boy stood on the side of the parquet and carried a sign with the inscription: "Jayson Tatum, I flew 8,000 km just to see you." The American journalist Tyler Snow talked to the boy and revealed that he is Israeli. "This is true love," he tweeted, but not everyone agreed with the statement.
One of the respondents was Anna Horford, the sister of Celtics player Al Horford, who was quick to tweet: "I am convinced that even one of the ten thousand children who died in Gaza would have been happy to come When asked why she opposes the innocent Israeli boy's gesture, she responded: "To bring awareness to the 30,000 people who were massacred by his fake state."
"The war started 75 years ago, by Israel," Horford added, in a series of responses to her original tweet.
"She is committing war crimes. There is no doubt that Israel is the enemy, and she is the bad guy in this story... If Palestinian children can bury their parents and siblings, that child can deal with a tweet directed at his made-up country... Israeli children can go to NBA games , Palestinian children can bury their families."
Horford later lost patience, and began to respond to most criticisms of her with the words "Free Palestine".
In recent months, she often echoes the Palestinian side of the conflict, and spreads a lot of anti-Israel content to her 58,500 followers.

Horford is responsible for a number of social media storms over the years.
Last February she stung LeBron James and claimed that he deserved to win an Oscar after he complained to the referee in the loss to Boston, and claimed: "I received threats on my life, people wished me to be raped. Stop with all this bullshit."
