At a time when many Israeli athletes are experiencing anti-Semitism around the world, the 20-year-old Israeli basketball player, Jordan Garzon, who stars at Indiana College from the NCAA, went on the biggest stage in the world and said in an interview in the USA: “I have girlfriends and friends who serve in the IDF, I feel like I am part of something who is bigger than me. I am trying to raise awareness of everything that is happening in Israel.”
Yesssss girl! Indiana U.’s Yarden Garzon paid homage to the hostages being held in Gaza in last night’s NCAA March Madness game vs. Oklahoma.

Against the background of the war against the murderous terrorist organization Hamas-ISIS, many Israeli athletes experience a lot of anti-Semitism around the world, but there are those who, without fear and with a lot of pride, look at anti-Semitism in the white of their eyes and represent us with respect.
Garzon went to all her games in the American League with a bandage on her hand with the inscription “Bring them home” for the release of the abductees. She then said: “I’m trying to raise awareness of everything that’s happening in Israel. It’s hard not to be in Israel right now, but my teammates understand what I’m going through, I feel great and happy to be here. I feel like I’m part of something bigger than me, they’re here for me And for everything I need.”
Yordan Garzon shared in an interview in the US: “I have girlfriends and boyfriends who serve in the IDF, I feel like I’m part of something bigger than me.”
