If only it were this easy.  Phil Hellmuth, the self-proclaimed “Poker Brat” is looking to bring about peace in the Middle East.  He’s bringing the Palestinians and Israelis together on US soil for battle.

Actually, it’s a friendly game of soccer (known throughout the rest of the world as football).

Hellmuth, who himself is Jewish, will be flying the kids in to play on two different teams, but it won’t be Israel vs. Palestine.  The two teams will be mixed as a show of comradery. 

Gambling911.com readers and the poker community as a whole can help out with this initiative.

Hellmuth broke his own record during this year’s World Series of Poker by winning an amazing 12th bracelet.
