<p>Brooklyn Nets guard <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/f-that-its-the-playoffs-kyrie-irving-unloads-on-hecklers-after-boston-loss/">Kyrie Irving</a> was the target of a court-side protest on Monday, as a group of people filled the front row, the men wearing yarmulkes and all of them wearing matching t-shirts that read, &#8220;Fight anti-semitism.&#8221;</p>
<p>Photos of the protest quickly began to circulate on social media.</p>

<p>The protest came about after Irving shared a tweet Thursday — which appears to have <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/kyrie-irving-antisemitic-movie-postgame-presser-1234621117/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">been deleted</a> — including a clip from a movie titled &#8220;Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America.&#8221; The film, according to <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/kyrie-irving-boosts-antisemitic-movie-peddling-jewish-slave-ships-theory-1234620125/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rolling Stone</a>, is based on a book of the same name by Ronald Dalton and is &#8220;stuffed with anti-semitic tropes.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They should not keep a guy like that around,&#8221; protester Aaron Jungreis told the New York Post&#8217;s Ian O’Connor. &#8220;A lot of people are going to cancel. They have to discipline him in some way. We told him we love him anyway, even though we know he hates us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jungreis also said that Irving had responded to them, but when he told them he appreciated them, &#8220;he said it sarcastically.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Aaron Jungreis, in &quot;Fight anti-Semitism&quot; shirt, on Kyrie Irving Part 2: &quot;We told him we love him anyway, even though we know he hates us.&quot; He said Irving told the 8 fans in those shirts that he appreciates them, but &quot;he said it sarcastically.&quot;</p>

<p>Irving&#8217;s tweet also <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/nets-owner-says-disappointed-kyrie-irving-appeared-promote-antisemitic-rcna54654" target="_blank" rel="noopener">caught the attention</a> of Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai, who tweeted his response last Friday.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m disappointed that Kyrie appears to support a film based on a book full of anti-semitic disinformation. I want to sit down and make sure he understands this is hurtful to all of us, and as a man of faith, it is wrong to promote hate based on race, ethnicity or religion,&#8221; Tsai tweeted, adding, &#8220;This is bigger than basketball.&#8221;</p>

<p>Irving <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nets-kyrie-irving-doubles-down-after-promoting-antisemitic-film-alex-jones-conspiracy-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">initially responded</a> by doubling down, telling reporters on Saturday, &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to stand down on anything that I believe in. I&#8217;m only going to get stronger because I&#8217;m not alone. I have a whole army around me.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re in 2022. It&#8217;s on Amazon, public platform,&#8221; he said of the film. &#8220;Whether you want to go watch it or not is up to you. There&#8217;s things being posted every day. I&#8217;m no different than the next human being, so don&#8217;t treat me any different. You come in here and make up this powerful influence that I have over the top [and say], &#8216;You cannot post that.&#8217; Why not? Why not? Everybody posts everything else.&#8221;</p>
<p>He responded again to the backlash by claiming that he is an &#8220;Omnist&#8221; and did not mean to offend anyone.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am an OMNIST and I meant no disrespect to anyone’s religious beliefs. The &#8216;Anti-Semitic&#8217; label that is being pushed on me is not justified and does not reflect the reality or truth I live in everyday. I embrace and want to learn from all walks of life and religions,&#8221; he said.</p>
