Courageous tennis hero Ons Jabeur says she’s been called “a terrorist” for trying to help starving people in Gaza. The Tunisian former Grand Slam finalist has been one of the few professional tennis players to publicly support Palestine against Israel’s brutal genocide which has been executed for two years as the entire planet watches and does nothing to stop it.
“They’re doing an amazing job [UN World Food Programme]… They’re trying to push and push, but unfortunately when you close the border and try to starve kids and a lot of other people to death, that’s very inhuman. We are in 2025 and I can’t believe this is happening.”
“One of the guys [in Palestine] was asking, ‘Are we human?’ To even ask that question means you are living in hell. I know the WFP are pushing to get food there even though a lot of workers got killed. They’re doing voluntary work. It’s a terrible world right now, and I don’t know how people are thinking.”
Jabeur admits that processing her own professional tennis career is not the only thing on her mind these days. The tragedy being inflicted on Palestine is always on her mind and in her heart: “It’s really affected me emotionally. I’ve been called a terrorist so many times. I don’t know how that’s even related. I’m trying to help people, and especially kids, who are starving. This can’t be considered normal.”
Israeli bombs and weapons, funded by American tax payers, has blown up most of Palestine with countless casualties and total destruction.

At the heart of Jabeur’s courage to expose the horrors, is her suffering for the nonstop tragedy being visited on the people of Palestine. At least once, Gauff has also mentioned the genocide occurring as well. What an indictment of a society in which one must be and be considered courageous to express and inform on heartbreak about such ongoing brutality. And now the new US bill proposals to make speaking out on this punishable by 20 years in prison or million dollar fines means one could eventually be risking even more than one’s tennis career –

Lan, it’s insanity and it proves USA is also occupied territory hijacked and controlled by terrorist israel. And guess who the next Palestinians target inside America will be? That insane treasonous bill was removed from vote this week but they will try it again later for sure. The jews better be careful because the world is outraged by what they are doing now and have done for 75 years to Palestine. The mask is off now and it will be impossible to put it back on and make the world forget the two year terrorism brutality genocide inflicted on Palestine. The beast has shown itself for what it is.
