Floyd Mayweather felt compelled to help after watching the Hamas terror attack, so the boxing legend arranged to send his private plane, chock-full of supplies, to the front lines in Israel.
TMZ Sports is told Floyd, who teamed up with a relief organization in Israel, arranged to send "Air Mayweather" to the Middle Eastern country this weekend ... and deliver supplies.
We're told they're planning to bring everything from food and water to bulletproof vests for the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and civilians.
Mayweather's pilots, AJ Ramey, Chris Javier, Sam Kniskern, and Freeman Blakney, will be flying the plane as they trek thousands of miles across the world.
It's not the first time Floyd's helped in a time of disaster. In fact, over the summer, he helped 70 families with food, shelter, and transportation after the Maui fires.
While many celebs and athletes have spoken out since the weekend's horrific attacks, Floyd's one of the most prominent.
Also, while some famous people have attempted to appease all sides, Mayweather has made it clear ... he's firmly with the Israelis.
"I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists. Hamas do not represent the people of Palestine but are a terrorist group that are attacking innocent lives! I stand for all humans and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and any human that were kidnapped as hostages during these horrific war crimes."
"This is not a time for politics. This is a time for safety first and foremost. God Bless America. God Bless Israel. God Bless Human Kind!"
In a follow-up post on social media, Mayweather again reiterated his support, and condemned terrorism.
"I stand with Israel and Jews all around the world. I condemn antisemitism at all cost. I stand for Peace. I stand for Human Rights! Terrorism Is Never The Answer!"
So far, I haven't seen any inane censorship.
With all respect to Mayweather, who is a good man, I have one quibble.
“Terrorism Is Never The Answer!”
It’s never the answer to a decent question. But it’s An Answer to indecent questions, such as “how can we drive them out and take all their stuff,” and “Aw, c’mon. It’s fun to kill Jooos!” or “So, then, where else can we take out our resentment at the world?”
Spot on!
