Combat Antisemitism
End Hate
Athletes For Israel combats antisemitism and racism by fostering a positive narrative about Israel. AFI was founded with the vision of bringing top sports figures to experience Israel firsthand, connecting them to its history, culture, innovation and, most importantly, its people. Our programs have expanded to include activities that utilize sports as a tool for building bridges across communities, and are anchored by Israel advocacy.

ISRAEL
AFI partners with professional and collegiate athletes on immersive trips to Israel, for an experiential education designed to highlight the depth of its culture, diversity, beauty, and history, as well as all its importance for the global future with its vibrant and innovative tech scene. During these journeys, athletes experience Israel firsthand—visiting historical landmarks, engaging in cultural activities, volunteering with local communities, and participating in athletic competitions. Along the way, they share authentic stories across extensive social media platforms, reaching millions and challenging biased narratives with raw, inspiring content.

“It’s not about what you believe, it’s about loving people. Athletes for Israel saw how we conducted ourselves and said that’s what we want because we want to be able to build unity through sports.”
The Bible preaches unity. Even though we competed against each other we are all in it for one thing, we are all in this in unity. That meant the world to me. It shows basketball has no borders.
