Boxer Floyd Mayweather has used his personal resources to pitch in and help the Israelis as they struggle to fight off Hamas, using his private jet to send aid, namely bulletproof vests, across the Atlantic and Mediterranean to help the embattled country.
According to the report on the matter, the aid that Mayweather is pitching in to send will include not just those bulletproof vests, but also much-needed food, along with other supplies, and though the amount of aid that can be packed on a private jet is small, any bit helps.
The Lost Angeles Times reported on Mayweather’s aid effort in an exclusive report on the subject, saying, “Mayweather is sending his private jet, Air Mayweather, to the Middle Eastern country to deliver food and other supplies, including bullet-proof vests, for Israeli Defense Force soldiers.”
Continuing, the report in the Los Angeles Times notes that Maweather’s pilots will distribute the aid in Israel and that the plan is currently being loaded for the journey. It is expected to arrive this upcoming weekend and will piloted by US Army and US Air Force veterans.
Mayweather has posted on social media about the fighting and his stance on Israel. In a post on Instagram, for example, Mayweather said, “I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists. Hamas do not represent the people of Palestine but are a terrorist group that are attacking innocent lives! I stand for all humans and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and any human that were kidnapped as hostages during these horrific war crimes. This is not a time for politics. This is a time for safety first and foremost. God Bless America. God Bless Israel. God Bless Human Kind!”
Mayweather isn’t the only popular figure to speak about the Israel-Hamas fighting. Pop star Madonna, for example, wrote, “What is Happening in Israel is Devastating.. Watching all of these families and especially children being herded, assaulted and murdered in the streets is Heartbreaking. Imagine if this was happening to you?? It’s Un-fathomable.”
Continuing, she said, “Conflicts can never be resolved with violence. Unfortunately Humanity does not understand this Universal truth. Has Never Understood it. We live in a World Ravaged by Hate. My heart goes out to Israel. To Families and Homes that have been destroyed. To children who are lost. To Innocent Victims who have Been Killed.”
Ending, she said, “To All who are Suffering or who will suffer from this conflict. Im Praying For you. I am aware that this is the work of Hamas and there are many innocent people in Palestine who do not support this terrorist organization. This Tragic attack will only cause more suffering for everyone Let us all Pray. For Israel. 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 For Peace. 🤍 For The World.”
