At the World Judo Championships in Hungary, former Iranian-turned-Mongolian judoka Saeid Mollaei competed against Israel’s Din Yaacov Gemer, defeating his young opponent.
But what happened immediately after the bout ended shows everyone was a winner.
While it looks similar to that other time an Iranian and a Jew kissed,
this time, it is actually heartwarming rather than vomit-inducing.
By the way, in case you are wondering where Saeid’s bestie Sagi Muki was, he was not participating in the competition which opened a space for Gemer to enter in the first place.
