As a goy in Britain with little interest in gymnastics, I didn’t know much about Aly before seeing tweets about using ‘Hava Nagila’ during her routine. Have to say, I’ve gained a lot of respect for her for talking about the issue. Kol hakavod, Aly.

As a report in ‘Palestinian’ media said, the Olympics is about sport, not ‘racism’ and, IIRC, there have now been 2 people sent home for making racist comments. It wouldn’t have cost much to pause for 60 seconds to remember the murdered athletes and anyone that did have a problem because of the race of those involved probably shouldn’t be at the games anyway.
