StandWithUs+: Kick Antisemitism Out of Sports | YouTube
When countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Malaysia, or Qatar bring politics into sports, everyone suffers – especially the athletes who spend countless hours training.
In this clip, Al Jazeera Channel – قناة الجزيرة claims an Iranian boy is forced by Iran to forfeit a sports match because he has to play against an Israeli.
Similar antisemitic incidents have occurred with all the above countries listed. Of course the antisemitism and obsessive Israel hatred is not acceptable, but here you see the anguish from the athlete’s perspective as well.
Note: In the end, the Iranian did not forfeit due to the fact the Israeli wrestler did not advance to the next round, but the point – and the problem, remain the same.
