The tennis player Novak Djokovic continues his journey this week in Israel, when he advanced to the quarterfinals of the Watergen Tel Aviv tournament yesterday (Thursday), which is held at the Expo.
During the last few days, the Serbian, ranked seventh in the world, uploaded stories from his training and was also recorded running in the open sea, but this morning when he shared a video with a summary of his opening game, some did not like it.
Dozens of pro-Palestinian supporters responded to him with hundreds of Palestinian flags, and quite a few responses ranging from: "Free Palestine", "This is Palestine", "You support a country that commits war crimes every day against the Palestinians".
On the other hand, many Israelis responded back and attached messages of support with the state flag and some also added a heart next to it.

We love you so much but play in a country occupying Palestine and killing children and women's this shame on you

This is not the first time that senior athletes who come to Israel are attacked like this.
Usually it's by bots, and most of them end up deleting and keeping the writers away, but there are some who are careful and during their visit simply don't mention that they were here.
Djokovic will continue his participation in the tournament today, when he will advance to the last quarter-final match on the main court, against the Canadian Vashak Pospisil, the same one who beat the Israeli Idan Leshem in the second round.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
