I think people interpret it as anti-semetic because it has been labeled that by authorities.
Either way it is at the very least controversial and a stupid move by Anelka, whether racist or just anti-zionist.
Defending his country is now on par with ranting about abortions?
Of course he wasn't an idiot that was an incredible thing he did and I have nothing but the utmost respect for a guy like Pat Tillman. His beliefs weren't misguided in any way.

Well, you see now, I think Pat Tillman was an idiot for doing what he did, but I don't think it is fair for me to call you an idiot for disagreeing with me on that one. Do you get my point?
"I think people interpret it as anti-semetic because it has been labeled that by authorities."
First off, you should learn how to spell. Secondly, it is widely accepted as an anti-establishment gesture. Anelka and Malouda did the same thing years ago at Chelsea with the handcuff gesture, which I'm sure you don't remember now.
I'm still waiting for someone to defend van Persie's Nazi salute when he scored for Arsenal against Chelsea several years ago.
