Ex-Knick Eddy Curry fights to free 1-year-old Israeli boy Kfir Bibas from Hamas captivity
Former New York Knick Eddy Curry has a new opponent: antisemitism.
The ex-NBAer, who played five seasons with the Knicks and won an NBA championship with the LeBron James-led Miami Heat in 2012, has been advocating for the release of 1-year-old Kfir Bibas, the Israeli boy who has spent the bulk of his life in Hamas captivity.
Bibas was kidnapped along with his brother Ariel, 4, and their parents, Shiri and Yarden Bibas, by the terror group during the Oct. 7 attack.
Curry, 41, recently traveled to the Holy Land with his wife and met with members of the Bibas family as part of the Sports Speaks Up campaign for Project Max, an organization that fights antisemitism, racism, and intolerance through sports.
Curry, who was drafted in 2001 by his hometown Chicago Bulls, “adopted” Kfir Bibas and has made the infant’s release a priority.
“Back when I was in New York, I lost a child to gun violence. Ever since then … it just reshaped my world. To actually go through a loss like that … to know that there’s hostages and that there’s children involved, that just hit me in a certain place,” Curry told The Post.
Curry’s ex-girlfriend, Nova Henry, 24, and infant daughter Ava were shot dead in 2009 by Henry’s attorney, Frederick Goings, who was representing her in a child-support case against Curry.
Goings and Henry had become romantically involved.
“We want their children to come back home, just like we would want our children to come back home. There are children just like ours here in America that are not home, that are being exposed to some of the most heinous acts anyone can imagine,” Curry, who retired from the hardwood in 2012, said.
“On the 5th of August, Ariel, the oldest child [turns 5]. Unfortunately, we need to plan, again, another huge event with balloons and cakes and singers … but it’s gonna be without the birthday boy,” Shiri Bibas’ cousin Yosi Shnaider said. “In the beginning we started counting the hours since the kidnap, then we started counting the days, then the months, in two months it’s going to be a year.”
“The common goal here is to bring as many as the hostages home as we possibly can,” Curry added
Kamala's harsh criticism of Israel is turning out to have deadly results
Washington may not fully realize it yet, nor the presidential candidate herself, but Vice President Harris’ honeymoon effectively ended Saturday in the Golan Heights on a bloody soccer field. The Mideast is on the cusp of what might become its bloodiest war since Israel’s founding in 1948.
Harris’ self-serving decision to pander to Gen Z and progressive votes on Thursday after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office is turning out to have deadly results.
Harshly criticizing Israel as she did in front of Bibi at the White House might bag November votes – but they are also leading to body bags in Gaza and North Israel.
Now, Israeli civilians are paying a heavy price for her words.
In what could be described as a second Oct. 7, Hezbollah launched a rocket attack on a soccer field Saturday afternoon in the Golan Heights, killing 12 people, including children, and injuring 40.
The attack struck the village of Majdal Shams. Home to a large Druze community – an Arab and Arabic-speaking ethnoreligious group. Many Druze are Israeli citizens and proudly serve in the IDF.
Israel identified 30-plus projectiles crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory and has blamed the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist group for the attack. Hezbollah denies the accusation, “firmly denying” they fired the rockets.
According to IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the rocket used in the attack on the soccer field was an Iranian-made Falaq-1 rocket. If not fired by Hezbollah, then it could have been fired by Iranian Revolutionary Islamic Corps (IRGC) forces in Lebanon.
Same difference.
Yeshiva Bochur Moshe Gafni Drowns on Erev Shabbos on Tel Aviv Beach
Moshe Gafni, z’l, 21, the son of HaGaon HaRav Meir Gafni, the Rav of the Heichel Yitzchak Beis Medrash in Modiin Iliit, drowned on erev Shabbos at the beach and passed away.
The niftar went to the Sheraton beach, a separate beach for men in Tel Aviv, with friends on Friday, where he drowned. Emergency forces evacuated him to the hospital, where sadly they could do nothing but declare his death.
The levaya is scheduled for 12:30 a.m. on Motzei Shabbos. The kevurah will take place at the beis kevaros in Rechovot.

Hilarious!!! They demanded that Biden select a woman of color as VP, which he did, and now when somebody mentions that Kamala Harris was chosen because she is a woman of color, they claim racism
