In the SwimSwam Podcast dive deeper into the sport you love with insider conversations about swimming. Hosted by Coleman Hodges, Garrett McCaffrey, and Gold Medal Mel Stewart, SwimSwam welcomes both the biggest names in swimming that you already know, and rising stars that you need to get to know, as we break down the past, present, and future of aquatic sports.
Joining the SwimSwam podcast today we have Eva Fabian, an American-Israeli Open Open World Champion, and we have Yakov Toumarkin, an Israeli Olympian and backstroke specialist.
We ask them to join us in the aftermath of the brutal attack by Hamas on Israel October 7th. Eva and Yakov are on the ground in Israel and have a unique point of view and context to share.
In this conversation today, I share my opinions. They are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of SwimSwam or other SwimSwam contributors.

As a reporter (and swimmer), I find “the facts” here disturbing…. and one-sided. There are now more than 10K Palestinians dead in Gaza… I have been in the West Bank, occupation is not normal and is NOT a democracy for Palestinians (even those in Israel). I am disturbed that this is posted here. They might indeed want peace, but living in occupation is not peace for those under occupation.
This whole thing was shocking, but nothing more than this said by Toumarkin:
Prior to that statement, I wasn’t looking forward to having to comb through each wild thing they both said and explain exactly why it’s off, but…that sorta does it for me. What an incredible thing to say.
Great interview Mel!!
