“Life is too short to hate. To all those hateful people…I pity you. Other than that, Kanye West, if you have a problem with me or my people, come see me, bro,” said the Israeli French-born athlete.
“Trust me, I’ve noticed [the rise in antisemitism online]. I get these ‘lovely’ direct messages all the time. I am Jewish. It’s what I am. It’s what I was born. I’m very proud of it and I will fight for it in the Octagon or wherever need be. I will not stand for antisemitism, I won’t stand for any racism. Don’t bully anyone around me or I’m gonna find you.”
Regardless of religious observance, it is good to see any Jew standing up for Jews, and others. There are no shortage of Jews that will sell out our people for popular (or perceived popular) opinion.
It’s refreshing to see a tough, proud Jew.
A true JEW!!!
