Recently, the Consulate General of Israel in New York and author David Goldstein held an online conversation with a panel of Israeli-American basketball legends (Andrew Kennedy, Cory Carr, Deon Thomas, and Derrick Sharp), who shared the phenomenon of African-American hoopsters travelling to play and live in Israel.
The entire thing is fascinating, but I have distilled the parts that are very inconvenient for the Israel-haters trying to exploit the murder of George Floyd in order to foster more hatred towards Israel and the Jewish people within the Black community.
The hoopster heroes wax lyrical about life in Israel and the warmth of the Israeli people, with Derrick Sharp even declaring “It is safer in Israel than it is anywhere, especially for a Black person.”
The haters can stick this in their pipe and smoke it!
