Amidst the attacks conducted by the militant group Hamas on the state of Israel, many people have formed differing opinions about the situation due to its complexity. Many NBA franchises such as the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat have shown their support for Israel on social media. Now, 6-time All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire has shared his strong opinions on the matter.

Stoudemire, who is an Israeli citizen, has taken to social media to say that Hamas is kidnapping children, women and the elderly which is incredibly cowardly, and no one is saying a word about it. He said, “I Woke up this morning with some disturbing news out of Israel that Hamas [are] kidnapping children, putting them in cages, killing women, killing the elderly. That’s some coward s**t. That’s cowardly.”

He said, “ And for all y’all Black Live Matter [supporters] who ain’t saying nothing, [saying] ‘Let me figure out exactly what’s happening before saying anything’, f**k you,”
