Backgammon League! Israel and Palestinians Plays Together...!

Palestine and Israel is a never ending conflict.

People are dying and those that live don’t even like each other.

That’s part of the reality.

So…why not make them play a game?!

This bad idea….kinda worked!!...for Zaki!

Meet Zaki Djemal!

He loves games! From 9-5, Zaki is an investor in startups who lives in the city of Jerusalem!

But the problem is….Jerusalem is a city where Jews and Arabs barely talk to each other.

Zaki thinks that…..Politicians are not doing enough!

So he thought about games!

He started a Backgammon League!

It specifically for Jews and Arabs.he want people in the city to meet face to face!

Not talk about politics….. “SIMPLY PLAY”!!

And they did play games, 3000 of them in 10 events and 10 different neighborhoods in 1 divided city!

And now ..They are hosting an international middle east “Backgammon Championship in Jerusalem!

And even the world Backgammon Champion will be there!!

But the reality is…. games are probably not gonna solve middle east crisis.

But according to Zaki; if we all play just one hour a day… the world will be a better place!

No Question!
