WATCH: Déjà Vu as Arab Judoka Refuses To Shake Israeli Judoka’s Hand

Israeli judoka competes against one from an Arab country.

Israeli judoka hands his Arab opponent’s ass back to him on a platter.

Israeli judoka goes to shake hands with Arab opponent.

Arab opponent refuses and walks away.

We saw it with Ori Sasson and his Egyptian opponent Islam El Shehaby last year, and we have just seen it again today with Tohar Butbul and Rashad Almashjari of the UAE.

This, of course, follows yesterday’s disgraceful events.

Enough is enough! The IJF needs to act and needs to act now.

  1. Arabs hate Jews. This is to be expected.

    What repels me are Jews so lacking in pride and self-respect that they’re alright with their country’s flag not being raised and their national anthem not being played when their athletes win.

    Jews are being paid back to their face and their craven behavior in the face of Arab insults and humiliation of them has revealed if you have no respect for yourself, you have no right to demand it from others.

    Ranking officials in the Israel Judo Federation who sent the athletes to a hostile Arab country need to be shown the door so this kind of disgrace never happens again. Anti-Semitism may be a fact of international life.

    But its absolutely unacceptable for Jews to acquiesce in it or to legitimate it.
