Draymond Green’s visit to Israel draws criticism: ‘Horribly offensive’

Warriors All-Star Draymond Green, who along with his teammates has expressed disinterest in visiting the White House, is receiving criticism for his trip to Israel where he met President Reuven Rivlin and fired guns at a border police training center.

“It’s not every day that I meet an All-Star,” Rivlin said, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

Part of Green’s trip was sponsored by the Friends of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces).

“You got played,” Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King chided Green, according to the JTA. “Flashing a toothy grin w/ a sniper rifle in Israel on a trip sponsored by Friends of the IDF is so horribly offensive.
