In Israel.

When people play together, they also learn to coexist. Here Ruan Zubidat, a 14 year-old Bedouin girl from Israel’s Galilee congratulates a Jewish opponent in the annual Israel Junior League Tournament.

The Freddie Krivine Foundation, the Israel Tennis Centers and many other sports organizations across the country train thousands of Israeli children in a variety of co-existence sports projects, not only tennis. Muslim, Christian, Druze, Bedouin, Armenian, Circassian and Jewish children meet, compete, socialize and make friends.

The real Israel is different than the Israel in the news.
