There’s no greater religion than humanity and love greater than brotherhood. President Ronald Reagan once famously said, “If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.” Abiding by his words and following his wisdom, gymnast star Simone Biles extends her support to fellow gymnast Alexandra Raisman and the entire ‘Jewish Community.’
After Kanye West expressed his ‘insensitive’ opinions about the Jewish community, he has been facing a lot of public backlashes. Now, joining hands to express their solidarity, Simone Biles earlier today shared Raisman’s comment on her Instagram story.

Simone stands up for the Jewish community
For the unversed, Kanye West, over the past few weeks, has been passing some “controversial antisemitic conspiracy theories.” Following this, several antisemitic incidents were reported in Los Angeles. The rapper, since then, has been at the receiving end. California political leaders, members of the Jewish community, and eminent personalities have joined hands to express their displeasure.
Retired American artistic gymnast and two-time Olympian Alexandra Raisman took to Twitter to express her support. She wrote, “I AM PROUD TO BE JEWISH. I stand with the Jewish community.”

Simone too voiced out her support for the community. Sharing the screenshot of Raisman’s tweet, the gymnastics GOAT in her Instagram story wrote, “I love you & stand w/ you and the Jewish community.”
She also shared a poster in her next story. The poster read, “Stand with the Jewish community.” This, however, was not the first Simone took a stand and voiced her opinion.

Daring Simone Biles
Simone is known for her outspoken self. She is known to voice herself when others prefer not to say. Speaking about the stigma associated with ADHD, Simone said that ADHD is “nothing to be ashamed of.” Breaking away from the stigma, the gymnast who had herself struggled with the medical condition spoke about the hushed topic in great detail.
She emphasized the necessity of talking more about it. Simone also used examples to demonstrate how ADHD should be treated similarly to how one would manage high blood pressure. People who experience it feel ashamed because of the established societal norms. And accordingly to Simone, that needs to change!
