"In latest snub of Israel by Arab participant at Olympics, Islam el-Shahaby booed by Rio crowd for breaching judo tradition of respect following defeat by Or Sasson
Another day at the olympics, another show of ignorant bigotry against Israel. Egyptian judoka loses to Israeli, refuses to shake hands in latest snub of Israel by Arab participant at Olympics. El-Shahaby booed by Rio crowd for breaching judo tradition of respect following defeat by Or Sasson.
These shocking shows of politicizing the olympics show why Israel is faced with such hatred from its neighbors. When athletes can not simply share a bus or shake hands with someone because they are from the Jewish state its severely troubling. What is even more disappointing for many these acts of bigotry and hate will be lauded as heroic.
But on a positive note, Or Sasson progresses to the next round in Judo for Israel
