Uproar with the posting of Baldwin’s wife in Israel – Maccabi’s ace broke out on social media

There was an uproar on Sunday night in Israel after a repost made by his wife Wade Baldwin in favor of Palestine. A few minutes later she retired, but her American ace Maccabiwho on Tuesday faces the Olympic in Belgrade, he found himself in the eye of the cyclone.

His wife hastened to pick up the loose with her suspension. “I love Israel, I lived there for a year and our second son was born there. When people ask me what my favorite place is, I say Israel. It has the best fans, the best people, so many have helped me and my family since we came. We now consider it our home. The post I made was to my friends and family in the US to say that the problems are not as big as they seem. It was my mistake to republish this post. I want to make it clear that what Hamas did in Israel, killing and kidnapping, is unthinkable. That is why since October 7 I had made a related post about Israel. I apologize for not paying more attention to the source“, he said.

The reactions, however, did not stop and Baldwin took the floor. “I don’t do politics, but let me make this clear. Because of Hamas, my family and I were forced by my work to leave the country we decided to make our home for three years. They forced us to face difficulties, deprived us of our fans and caused problems in so many other worlds. We continue to focus our energy and passion, despite adversity, on behalf of Maccabi and Israel. If you ever claim that I’m a Hamas supporter, fuck off! My whole career I worked hard to find a home and I found it in Israel. Me and my family have given everything we have to the team and everything it stands for and through this whole situation since October 7, we are fighting to continue our season with pride and honor for the world of Israel“, he said in his message.
