Short answer: Yes. As of August 2026, Jake Paul has repeatedly and publicly expressed support for Israel and Jewish causes, from condemning the October 7 Hamas attacks to embracing his own Jewish heritage. He has not made statements opposing Israel's existence or right to defend itself.
What Jake Paul has actually said and done
- May 2021: Amid an earlier round of fighting between Israel and Hamas, Paul posted on X (then Twitter), writing "Pro Israel, Pro Palestine, Pro Judaism, Pro Islam, Pro Christianity, Pro Peace, Pro Equality, Pro Boxer... Be a Pro... don't be an asshole." The post framed his position as pro-peace across the board rather than a rejection of either side.
- October 2023: In the days after the Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians, Paul posted a blunt three-word message on X: "Cowards kill civilians." The post was widely read as a condemnation of the attack, and it drew both support and pushback online, including wordplay from rival boxer Dillon Danis, as reported by Sportskeeda.
- February 2025: Around Super Bowl weekend, Paul publicly revealed that his family has Jewish roots through his great-grandmother, and celebrated an impromptu bar mitzvah with Chabad Rabbi Yossi Farro, putting on tefillin for the first time. He confirmed the news himself on X, writing "Mazel tov, yes, I'm Jewish." The Jerusalem Post covered the moment, noting that his great-grandmother, Lillian Mae Meredith (Buxbaum), was Jewish and that his brother Logan had first surfaced the family history in a 2016 video.
Why this keeps coming up
Jake Paul is one of the most-watched creators turned professional boxers in the world, so any opinion he shares about Israel, Gaza, or Jewish identity reaches a massive, largely non-Jewish audience fast. His 2021 post tried to hold a middle line ("Pro Israel, Pro Palestine"), which is why some corners of the internet still cite it as evidence he is "neutral." But his October 2023 condemnation of the Hamas attack on civilians, followed by his own embrace of Jewish identity and a public bar mitzvah in 2025, are the clearest and most recent signals of where he actually stands. Neither statement was walked back.
The bottom line
Jake Paul has consistently condemned violence against Israeli civilians and, since 2025, has spoken openly and warmly about discovering and practicing his Jewish heritage. Nothing in the public record shows him taking an anti-Israel position. If his views change, this page will be updated.
