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 (organized) by Friends of the IDF is so horribly offensive. They’ve recently slaughtered unarmed Palestinians w/ those rifles.”

Dave Zirin, sports editor of The Nation, piled on.

“Why reject Donald Trump and accept the invitation of Rivlin?” Zirin wrote. “It is, frankly, shocking to see Draymond Green smiling and shooting guns in their company. These counterterrorism border police units are part of a military that shot and killed Palestinians who were protesting at the border in May, less than two months ago.”

“I’m confident that if he had been briefed, he would not have gone,” Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill told the Christian Broadcasting Network.

Maybe, maybe not. Green is, among other things, intellectually curious. According to the Jerusalem Post, Green visited “several historical sites around the country,” including the Western Wall, where he left a note. He also played basketball at a sports center donated by FIDF supporters from Michigan, according to CBN.

Draymond Green makes his debut as CNN contributor Green, like many in the Warriors organization, sees and considers a world beyond basketball. Just two weeks ago he told CNN, “It’s all about what we stand for. In order to affect change, you have to stand for something.”

Given where he went and with whom he met, Green is certain to hear from others wondering what kind of change he believed he was affecting during his trip to Israel. Another certainty: He will emerge with his intellectual curiosity intact.
