A Jewish champion, a cyclist and kickboxer who served in the IDF, has been removed as the keynote speaker at an international women's day event by a women's empowerment group called Inspire. The group stated that the decision was made 'in recognition of the current situation and the sensitivity of the conflict in the Middle East.'
Leah Goldstein, the keynote speaker who was uninvited, expressed shock at the decision, emphasizing that her presentation had nothing to do with politics. She mentioned that in her 11 years of speaking engagements, she had never faced any complaints about offending anyone.
