Bruce Pearl explains why he refuses to stay silent on Israel and antisemitism

Bruce Pearl has never been one to stay silent, whether on or off the court. The legendary former Auburn University men's basketball coach has used his platform for more than sports, becoming one of the most outspoken voices against antisemitism and in support of Israel.

"Well, some people think it's political, but it's really not. It's really survival. The Jewish people are kind of running out of places where we're welcome to live," Pearl, who now serves as the Chair of the U.S. Israel Education Association, told Fox News Digital.
