The American basketball star calls on Muslim league players to stand in solidarity with Palestine
Sports stars around the world, in various disciplines, continue to express their solidarity with the Palestinian people who are being subjected to aggressive bombing by the Zionist occupation forces, and the most recent of these was former NBA basketball player Mahmoud Abdel Raouf.
On Thursday, Abdel Raouf posted, through his Instagram account, a message to the rest of the Muslim players in the American Basketball League in solidarity with Palestine, which stated: “To the Muslim players in the professional league, do you not feel extremely dissatisfied with the evil support that the league provides to the occupying Zionist entity?” What is called Israel?
The former Denver Nuggets player added: “Didn’t the Prophet Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace) say that whoever does not care regarding Muslims is not from this nation? Do not be weak and let your voice and strength be heard and felt, and call for educating those around you the best you can do.” “And remember, the insult is deep.”
It is noteworthy that Abdel Raouf holds American citizenship. He declared his conversion to Islam in 1991, when he also changed his name from Chris Jackson to Mahmoud Abdel Raouf. He also previously played in the Arab region with the Saudi Al-Ittihad team.
