Has to make Stars cringe for DN to take a polarized stance on this issue.

phildo is right - 100% support of anyone in this fight is crazy. PokerStars must be cringing.

Absolutely - whatever one might think of the conflict, supporting one side 100% is ignorant, blind and objectively stupid. This is about as far from a black and white situation as you can get.

this is such a sensitive subject, a public person, whom probably does not have more insight on the matter than the ordinary "upread on the news"-dude but influences thousands should not take such a 100/0 stance , its dangerous and outright careless.

I don't understand why people feel the need to air their views on certain subjects on twitter. Just keep it to yourself.

Horrible to see that an adult person - whom I thought capable of some empathy - can say things like: "I 100% support Israel in their fight" like it is some sort of sporting match.

It's a horrible, horrible situation which has been going on for many decades now, and polarized standpoints in a situation where people are killed, innocent children lose their families, innocent children are being killed, etc. is very cringeworthy. After all those decades it's even harder to say who is 'wrong' or who is 'right': it has to stop.

This standpoint from Daniel reflects very, very poorly on him.

That's harsh. I think that these comments are based on ignorance rather than lack of empathy.

Wonder if he will still be 100% after they have just blown up a UN refugee center with 3000 people in it. Disgraceful act.

Well, he states that he is 100% behind Israel. He must be a really big ignorant idiot to not know that children are being killed by both sides. So saying you're 100% behind this either makes you so ignorant on the topic that you should never have voiced an opinion at all, or you have zero capability to emphasize with all those who lose their loved ones over a battle that is not black/white.

Cringing at Negreanu. Amazing ignorance and lack of empathy. Is he aware that scores of innocent children have died? Ok you can support Israel's right to defend itself, but condoning how they have gone about it the last 3weeks is disgusting. There has been absolutely no concern for the loss of civilian life. It's basically ethnic cleansing. So sickening.

Daniel is either a complete moron for posting this on social media or lacks any knowledge of the situation currently in Gaza. Can't see how pokerstars, who sacked a team online pro Daleroxxu for rude gestures at a live event whilst watching a world cup match, can stand by the person that is the face of the company without having any issue with what he posted, or even make a statement about it to distance themselves.

Social media suggests the U.S mainstream media is heavily pro Israel. Maybe the impressionable DNegs is just basing his opinion on quick glances at the casino stupid tube between raking in pots. Misinformed or ignorant either way.
