Only a few world-class Swiss athletes have commented on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The subject is sensitive. That did not stop Thabo Sefolosha (39) from speaking out.
The former basketball player announced on his Instagram account that from now on he will boycott everything that comes from Israel. After an initial announcement text, Vaudois lists the products he will no longer use. In addition to the soft drink maker Sodastream, the former NBA professional will no longer buy fruits and vegetables or household products that come from Israel.
“I hope you follow it”
In explanation, the former Chicago and Oklahoma player said that “as a South African and a student of history, he felt the need to do something.” Sefolosha’s father is from South Africa.
‘I’m sorry, there’s not much I can do! But the little I can do, I will do,” Sefolosha said on his social networks. De Vaudois also appeals to his “Jewish and Israeli friends”. He hopes they understand that and go along with it.
The ex-NBA star of Vevey VD, who has been out of action since May, is currently running for the position of president of Swiss Basketball. Giancarlo Sergi’s successor will be chosen on December 9.
A request from Blick to Sefolosha has so far gone unanswered.
