Bruce Pearl: Democrats ‘disappointing’ American Jews with lack of support

—

March 20, 2025

Auburn Tigers men’s basketball head coach Bruce Pearl has never been shy about sharing his opinion when it comes to politics, especially when that opinion involves the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Pearl, who is Jewish, is a fierce supporter of Israel and the country’s right to defend itself against those who seek to do it harm. Frequently posting about the issue on his social media page, Pearl directly addressed Democrats who have not been aligned with one of America’s most important allies.

Israel has always received support from both Democrats and Republicans. While it’s awesome to see Republicans support Israel and fight Antisemitism, it’s disappointing to see so many Democrats moving in the other direction! https://t.co/7V2pJ162A9

As Pearl gets his Tigers ready to play in the NCAA Tournament, he certainly will continue to share his opinions on what he feels is even more important than his beloved team.
