This morning I posted how the International Judo Federation demanded the UAE treat Israeli judokas equally, meaning they should be allowed to compete under the Israeli flag, and have the national anthem be played should an Israeli win a gold medal at the judo Grand Slam event in Abu Dhabi
Yeah, fat lot of good that did.
Israel’s Tal Flicker and Gili Cohen has won Gold and Bronze medals respectively. And when presented with them, there was no Israeli flag nor anthem. And the announcer mentioned they were representing the International Judo Federation.

I truly hope the UAE are banned from the sport, at least until they decide to join the human race.
