NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire has been discovering his Jewish roots, appropriately enough upon his move to the New York Knicks. From the WSJ, for the one-Israel/Palestine file:
Mr. Stoudemire’s Israeli entourage included tour guide Doobie Sabbo, who said the basketball star enjoyed sampling Mediterranean street food like pita bread dipped in olive oil and Za’atar condiment. Bodyguard Akivah Malkovitch, an ex-Israeli SWAT officer who resides in a West Bank settlement, doubled as a photographer and showed off a picture of Mr. Stoudemire with his Star-of-David-tattooed hand touching the Western Wall.
