- FuryOfThor, on 07/16/2008, -0/+40If years of sports movies have taught me anything, it's that, while the team members will initially have their differences and cultural misunderstandings, they will together team up against a common rival and realize that they can all get along and, in fact, become best friends forever. Also, there will be a funny fat kid.
- fireman8871, on 07/17/2008, -1/+24Many Israleies and Palestininians live togetehr in Israel. Most of them actually do get along with eachother just fine. Many are even best friends. Its the radicals, likely on both sides which cause the problems. People will generally learn to live with eachother and even enjoy eachother. Its the crazy radicals which cause the trouble and the media attention.
- Lynx55, on 07/16/2008, -1/+14Now this is the best Israeli/Arab article I have seen yet!! FANTASTIC!!!
- mrogi, on 07/17/2008, -2/+10Basketball diplomacy is a well intentioned idea until a high-flying Jew throws down a tomahawk dunk in the face of a hapless Arab. Then...the war is on again.
- lucy22, on 07/17/2008, -1/+9Good story.
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+6well you're just a debbie downer aren't ya
- pintomp3, on 07/17/2008, -1/+7you have to start somewhere. the best place to start is with the kids.
- synik, on 07/17/2008, -3/+8The Palestinian teams performance was described as "explosive".
- subcomandante, on 07/17/2008, -2/+5It's worse when they run the white house.
- hamidious, on 07/19/2008, -0/+2Welcome to Israel, we destroy your homes to build settlements, but we'll play basketball with you.
- Xill, on 07/17/2008, -1/+3It's not the people that are evil, it's their corrupted government.
- blackjack75, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Sure they have been conflicts for thousands of years in this place like in all other places where humans have lived but the current conflict isn't hundred of years old. It started in the 40's.
- agimat, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1This is not going to end well.
- writie, on 07/30/2008, -0/+1And the players were only born between what, 18 and 25 years ago? So the thousand year angle only goes so far.
- pintomp3, on 07/17/2008, -3/+4they will claim the court was promised to them in the bible. america will be the mascot of the israeli team as well as referee.
- sesstreets, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1In zohan it was hackysack.
But who ever takes part in this idea should be held up as a champion of peace more or less. Any person who willingly defies hatred in the hope that some day two groups that have festered such hatred towards each other will get along; is some one who deserves our praise. - foofightrs777, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Uh wrong thread
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -1/+1You Don't Mess With The Zohan 2?
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -2/+1court*
- ObamaWins08, on 07/17/2008, -5/+4I foresee many, many flagrant fouls...
Also, there will be much tension as to whose side of the court belongs to who. Eventually, the kids from the AAU teams in Egypt, Jordan and Syria will show up all frontin' on the court, and the Israeli kids will take back not only their court, but the courts of those kids as well... - inactive, on 07/17/2008, -4/+1my bet's on Luxembourg as the bad guy. and ariel sharon as the funny fat kid.
any takers? - inactive, on 07/17/2008, -6/+3I generally hate these replies but....i see what you did there.
- diggafrica, on 07/17/2008, -6/+3Good to see Israeli's and Palestinians compete in a field with No Stones & Tanks..
- Brassbud, on 07/17/2008, -8/+5Why is the ball ticking?
- SarcasticPirate, on 07/17/2008, -8/+4Buried for using "Thru" in title.
- LordoftheLoo, on 07/17/2008, -5/+1Too bad Farmar sucks, and nobody care about basketball in that part of the world.
- mdisc, on 07/17/2008, -7/+3Hopefully this changes their definitions of stealing and shooting.
- alexkreuz, on 07/17/2008, -5/+0Yes, teach these people how to be more accurate at throwing projectiles at targets ...
- Mast3rDigg3r, on 07/17/2008, -7/+1what brought me together was when the joker died, YEAH!
- Hetman, on 07/17/2008, -11/+4This is literally the funniest title I have ever seen in digg. Seriously hundreds of years of murdering one another is not going to stop because of basketball.
- atact88, on 07/17/2008, -11/+3You forgot dead soldiers for live murderers, and truce rockets
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -11/+1just give up
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -14/+2I bet this will end with a bang.
- icemorebutts, on 07/17/2008, -18/+5Yeah, I'm sure that centuries of hatred and war will resolved by summer basketball camp.
