Israeli Olympian A.J. Edelman has been advocating for Israel on college campuses across North America since the October 7 Hamas attacks. He has engaged in public debates and encountered a Columbia University student facing deportation for supporting Hamas. Edelman believes that universities are magnets for individuals with grievances, and Jews are often the subject of these grievances. In addition to his activism, Edelman proudly represents Israel through the Israeli bobsled team, using it as a platform to educate others about Israel.
