Americans Playing in Israel Face Their Fears

Well, I don't know why these pro basketball players are so worried. Hamas & Co. only shoot high schoolers playing basketball... Jamal Faulkner (who played two years at my alma mater, but is from Brooklyn) had an interesting perspective:

Faulkner was a regular at a coffee shop that was the site of a bombing. "In Israel, you don't have to deal with random violence like you do here. A guy will walk up to you at home and stick you up for no reason. That doesn't happen in Israel. You never have to worry about someone robbing you because you have a little money in your pocket."
