Anelka blow
Nicolas Anelka has lost the support of a French Jewish community leader the West Bromwich Albion striker was citing to defend his use of a gesture deemed anti-semitic. Anelka is facing a minimum five-game ban if an English Football Association panel rules his goal-celebration gesture was a racially aggravated breach of its rules. Anelka insists his use of the gesture, which is known in France as a quenelle and has been described as an “inverted Nazi salute,” was not anti-Semitic. The player highlighted on Wednesday how the Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions president said the gesture wasn’t offensive because it was performed on a football pitch. But now Roger Cukierman says he’s “troubled” that Anelka dedicated his quenelle to French performer Dieudonne M’Bala M’Bala “whose own motives are incontestably anti-Semitic.”
