Sorry, let me get the full quote and some more context:
In an interview published on Tuesday by the Israeli Basketball Association, Saar addressed the upcoming match with Ireland. “It’s known that they are quite antisemitic and it’s no secret, and maybe that’s why a strong game is expected,” she said. “We talk about it among ourselves. We know they don’t love us and we will leave everything on the field always and in this game especially.”
An official quote at a formal press interview that implicates the entire team.
If an official representative of the team slags off the other side without reason before the game, and says the entire team thinks this, with no apology or attempt to clarify that that person was wrong and only speaking for themselves, that’s shitty behavior from the entire team.
That is still kind of the same thing, they blame the whole team for the comments of one player.

Have the been antisemetic? If I was on a team, I would not be expected to be blamed for what my teammates had to say.
See my comment you originally replied to.

The Israeli player was culture washing. The Palestinian people are a semitic people.
