Celebrities have always been vocal about the various affairs going around the world, and speak about several international issues. This also includes pro wrestlers, who have spoken their minds multiple times about key events. The latest person to get added to this list is none other than the AEW Champion, MJF.

MJF carries a lot of star power behind him. The same is visible every time he speaks either on the mic or on the internet. A recent social media post captured the AEW Championship holder speaking about the ongoing armed conflict in the Middle East that has taken everyone by storm.

MJF gives everyone a piece of his mind about the war

Friedman recently penned a letter in The Players Tribune displaying some statements from MJF. The quotes were, “Allow me to say this, straight up, point blank… I don’t support people — any people — dying because of hate.” While he made it clear that he didn’t support violence, he also revealed what he wanted.

MJF continued, “I’ll tell you what I do support & what I definitely am: I’m anti-hate.” The tweet also mentioned, “On a daily basis, I’m having to read antisemitic sh*t from all kinds of people: celebrities (hi, Kanye), strangers, even people I know. It’s just very sad.” MJF’s words showed disappointment in the people who have big fan followings, and whose words carry a lot of weight.

The AEW champ further wrote, “We’re all human, man. We all deserve rights, we all deserve freedom, we all deserve happiness & respect. (I really wanted to clarify these things & I hope I have.” Several notable celebrities have condoned the war and MJF tried to do the same with his words.
