Martina Navratilova

Former tennis professional Martina Navratilova is known for her unfiltered views on multiple different topics that have been making rounds on the internet. After retiring from her professional career, Martina has been quite active on her official Twitter handle and has been quite spot-on with her tweets. Her criticisms have evolved to provide awareness and give voice to the downtrodden.

In a new post on social media, she shared a video of an Israeli armed police officer’s behavior with a woman. This incident enraged her, and she took to social media to share her opinions with her fans and the public at large. However, there is no confirmation of the source of the video.

WTAF?!? https://t.co/9tOobABOin

Martina Navratilova has always been vocal against any kind of injustice happening in society. She had earlier through her social media posts voiced her opinions against gun violence. She has from time to time shared her views on taboo subjects like homosexuality and same-s*x marriages. She also criticized former American President Donald Trump, Tesla boss Elon Musk and rapper Kanye West and garnered support.

The four-time Fed Cup (now Billie Jean King Cup) winner is also a respected voice on issues that concern tennis and sports. She has voiced her opinions on the prospect of women’s tennis and equal pay for female players compared to male players. Last month, she also raised her voice for the American basketball player Brittney Griner’s release who has been held captive in a Russian jail. She tried to bring the attention of the American Government and the public to the condition of the basketball player and appealed to the US Government to secure her release.

Meanwhile, social media too seems to be concerned and supports the 9-time Wimbledon champion on this issue. Many social media users are giving various reactions to the alleged video. Sharing a wide spectrum of reactions online, here are some reactions coming in on the above post.

This is terrible! But what proceeded it?

— Dee Murphy (@Dee27116877) December 2, 2022

😡 This is unacceptable.

Will someone please explain to me the difference between #SouthAfrica's old #Apartheid government & the way #Israel subjugates #Palestine? Maybe there's a nuance or two? I'm trying to be generous.

Images like this are MSM when in Iran, never if in Israel. The bias is shameful

Vous avez raison @Limportant_fr. "TOUTES les violences"…y compris celles-ci:https://t.co/TpF0l8SqQZ

— MEid (@HmDEid) December 3, 2022

“You are right. @Limportant_fr “ALL violence”…including these:” the caption read in English (Translated through Google Translate).

Been happening for 70 years but mainstream media has been ignoring it.. you only need to see who runs #mainstream media channels and platforms to understand why

— Baz Kahn (shadow banned) (@BazKahn2) December 3, 2022

This is everyday daily life under the occupation of Palestine.

— hq 🇵🇸🇳🇱 (@hijabqu82654682) December 3, 2022

However, there are few reactions that came in which differ from Martina Navratilova’s views.

Again you only post the ending
Just because they are "girls" women actually does not give them free reign to do what they want, does not give them the right to start violence without repercussions
Show they whole think if you want me to be mad about things like this blm ruined it

— America First (@ARealAmerican77) December 2, 2022

Fifteen seconds of unadulterated propaganda.
1. Note all the so-called victims are holding onto their cellphones.
2. All the soldiers are female, though the videographer doesn't wish you to know that detail.
3. The women are resisting, as if, that was the intended plan.

— Ben Shmuel 🇺🇲🇮🇱 (@BenShmuel7) December 3, 2022

If you criticize Israel for the apartheid regime they are running with American taxpayer money, Centrist Dems and Republicans act like you’re Kanye West…

— Special Master of Disguise! (@nomorecolonies) December 2, 2022

Nobody chiming in here knows the context. Not even @Martina. Not sure what is the surprised exclamation about? That the girl was manhandled, or that a few seconds prior she was pelting stones, or molotovs or even trying to stab.

— Mighty Release (@AllahLovesJews) December 3, 2022

Martina Navratilova has won many tournaments throughout her career. She is a tennis legend. But her most important contribution is her constant work to make this world a better place to live for all humans and the three-time Australian Open champion wants to succeed in this endeavor.
