The now former defender of Donetsk’s Shakhtar, Israeli Stav Lemkin, who recently became a full player for the Dutch Twente, talked about the attitude towards him and his compatriots in the USA and Europe.
Stav Lemkin“It’s important for me to feel at home wherever I am at the moment. In this regard, the USA would be more comfortable — in terms of living, everyday life, everything. In the United States, you go out, say you’re Israeli, and people smile, they are friendly. But in Europe, you think twice before saying that you are from Israel.
I haven’t experienced this in extreme conditions here, only on the internet. But the club has already made it clear to me: if something happens — on social media or at the stadium — I can go to them and get full support. They really don’t worry about this, but if something happens, they will support me,” Lemkin’s words are cited by twenteinsite.nl.
