| [IsraelTimes] Rapper Ice Cube slams NBA legend and columnist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for calling him out in a piece taking celebrities to task for posting anti-Semitic statements on social media. Abdul-Jabbar’s latest column in The Hollywood Reporter named Ice Cube among various figures from the entertainment world he cited for perpetuating anti-Semitic canards. "Shame on the Hollywood Reporter who obviously gave my brother Kareem 30 pieces of silver to cut us down without even a phone call," the rapper tweets. The reference to "30 pieces of silver" is a nod to Judas, the disciple said to have betrayed Jesus. Abdul-Jabbar’s column noted a series of tweets Ice Cube had posted in early June, including a mural some have called anti-Semitic and images associated with conspiracy theories against Jews.

| #13 /\ So Ice Cube believes he's Jesus? I think I read somewhere that there would be people making such claims. |

| #7 Hehe. That's cool. But I dislike the Celtics as I do the Montreal Canadiens or the Yankees, because they always won. I've always been a Bruins fan, from the days of Espo, Orr, "The Chief", Cashman, and through the days of "Grapes"...never made it to the old Boston Garden. |

| #5 Two teams I loathe, the Celtics (out of respect from the old days) and the Lakers (just 'cuz). |

| #4 Plus, he was on the Lakers, so screw him twice. Too bad it was Kurt Rambis getting the clothesline instead of him. |

| #3 Maybe he thought that when he was Lew Alcindor (or is it al-Cindor?) |

#2 Let's not forget the nice, kind words Kareem had for the rest of us Americans:Racism in America is like dust in the air. It seems invisible — even if you’re choking on it — until you let the sun in. Then you see it’s everywhere.'' Coming from a Muslim, that's rich, isn't it? |

| #1 I'm sure, if asked to elaborate, cube would explain that "he's not ant-Semitic, he just hates Joos..." |
