Why hasn’t the Arab world produced a Koufax?
Posted in Beyondoweiss, Israel Lobby

It must have something to do with eating using your left-hand. Strictly forbidden.
Here’s an article listing the benefits to Israel of the IBL–nothing there about the natural
humanist value of Jewish Israelis and Arab Israelis playing on the same team.

No doubt, probably a plan to steal more Palestinian land to create baseball fields –
“In Jerusalem, where hundreds of adults and children participate in league play, there is only one true baseball field. And that field does not have a single blade of grass, but has a dangerous combination of dust, rocks, and thorns.
In Bet Shemesh, where children play baseball all the time, the one field is built on a slope, such that players must run uphill to first base.
In Tel Aviv, players rush to and from their positions between innings because there are no lights at the lone baseball field, so all play must cease at dusk.
Haifa, Be’er Sheva, and Tiberias have players, but no baseball fields at all. Players from these cities must travel elsewhere if they want to play.”
I’m surprised they didn’t Hebrewcize the name of the sport. You know, kind of like how Meyerson became “Meir?” Fabricated names are as Israeli as apple pie!
The American-sounding “beysbol” is much more attractive to Israeli ears than the literal “kadur basis” preferred by Zionist summer camps in the US and Canada. Oh, and it’s “pai tapuhim” to you.
This one David Brooks forgot to add to his January 12 Op-Ed column ”The Tel Aviv Cluster’ in the New York Times.
