It's a shame that something like this had to occur, I have had the honor of talking with some of the students on the Israeli teams before at The Championship. They seem just as enthusiastic about the program as their counterparts over here. I hope this conflict does indeed end before the start of the season, although it doesn't look likely, and I hope that all the teams in Israel continue to exist after this and that the regional does happen in the future.
