I never support any other team in the Olympics but my South African team.
This time I will be adopting Palestine and will cheer for them as loud as I will be cheering my country. South Africa is represented in swimming but I will cheer for Palestine anyway because while everyone else qill be playing for medals, Palestine will be playing for their lives!

My Father died when I was very young. At the age of 13 my Mam died too. Still I was very lucky to have such wonderful parents and they have never left me. Still more through their work I had a life long pass to swim. I like Yazan became a champion swimmer. In the water I could grief and found the strength to go on, the memories of my parents were with me. So Yazan go for it, I am with you and your people, Palestine with loving pride from an Irish women.

Dear Palestinian athletes, keep saying “Palestine”.
I saw you on tv at the opening ceremony holding up peace signs and proudly waving you’re flag, it brought me to tears, I’m so happy you’re competing despite the hell on earth happening in Gaza. I wish every night before I sleep for an end to the genocide and the Israeli occupation imposed on you’re people, and it destroys me that there’s nothing I can do to help beyond thinking of you, hearing you’re stories, educating myself, and donating what little money I can. But I still hold onto hope, for you.
I’m a white, agnostic Canadian woman, I will never fully understand you’re experiences, but I stand with you nonetheless. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸♥️

[FS-dkhg]

Dear Yazan, I’m sure you and your team have the support of so many people around the world wishing you ‘Good Luck’ - Agree 💯 with what you said! May God’s blessings be upon Palestinian people 🤞🤞
Peace & Prosperity for the State of Palestine! 🇵🇸✌️💝

[yumnazahida]

This is the time where I feel like I love Palestine even more than my own

[krios]

Dear Brother, nobody should be allowed to impose you or even just tell you to hide your beautiful flag, representing hope, decency, honesty, great skills and among the deepest inner strength and faith across whole humanity. Stay strong as you are and never give up. We, free people of the World, think of you daily. We feel you. We love you. You are not alone and will never be. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[anina]

[sarenil]

I hope you win the race brother 🌿 for Free Palestine
