Video with link to X
Former NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal sent a heartfelt video message to child survivors of Hamas’ October 7 attacks against Israel, who are being hosted at Camp Timberlane in Toronto, Canada by the OneFamily Together organization for victims of terror.
The camp shared the video by O’Neal, commonly known as “Shaq”, on its Instagram page last week.
“Shalom,” he said in the video. “I wanted to give you guys a shout out and let you know that I love you. To all the amazing children - I know you came from far, far away, hope you're having a good time. We love you so very much. Thank you for coming, and we'll talk again soon”.
Shaq concluded his words with a few Hebrew expressions, “Shana Tovah,” “Baruch Hashem,” and “Shabbat Shalom”.
The State of Israel’s official X account shared the video on Tuesday and thanked O’Neal, writing, Thank you Shaq for sharing this message with young Israeli victims of October 7 who will be spending time at Camp Timberlane....

Shaq is great. He backs up his talk.
Brave move...
He’s a friend of President Trump...a supporter, but I have
yet to see him endorse him.
People like him fear their reputations will be runed.
I have no respect for them.

How do you know any of this?
Shaq. A man with as big a
heart as he is.
This is a non-political statement.
One can sympathize with the child victims of terrorists without being pro or anti Israel or Arabs.

“ This is a non-political statement.

Sadly, these days, that is not the case.
Like saying All lives matter instead of Black Lives Matter
Many a person and politician got skewered for saying that and had to “apologize “
Shaq is a great person. Most of his good works you never hear about, because he doesn’t want to be noticed. He is like a ‘good’ barometer, if your opposite your probably with the evil. If I had to pick a favorite philanthropist, it would be Shaq.
Hamas would have a summer camp for kids of Gaza in Canada, only then they wouldn’t be in harm’s way anymore. So what good is that for Hamas./s
Trump has been reputed to do the same at times. It’s a tell of a truly good person that they do good quietly.
He’s opening his chicken restaurant in Fort Worth.
Shaq is a very interesting character. Beneath that huge exterior there exists not only a man of uncommon common sense, but there beats the heart of a very good man.
Both rumors are plausible.
Compared to Lebron or Stef Curry—or most of the other NBA Thugs—Shaq is just up in the atmosphere. Shaq has a heart of gold.
Yep! A big man with a bigger heart
Wow. A professional athlete who’s not a total leftist a-hole.
