Denied flag and national anthem by arabs, Israeli Judo champ sings it himself

[Paranoid Android]

An Israeli won gold medal at Abu Dhabi judo grand slam but was forced to receive his medal without his country's national anthem and flag. The organizers at UAE (a country known for discriminating against Israeli Jewish community) simply refused to raise Israel's flag as the 25 year old judo champ, Tal Flicker, scaled the podium to receive his medal. Flicker quitely sang the anthem anyway after winning under-66 kilogram category.

Israelis have been smacking these pathetic Arabs ever since 1948. Kudos to this Judo champion to win and then troll these losers.

Israel is a reality regardless of the recognition of the muslim world.

What the Judo champ did is literally the reality since 1948.
Israel has been smacking arabs in the nuts..and have been doing it quietly..Arabs cannot do anything about it..just like they could not stop the champ from singing his anthem...

Congrats to the winner!

the israelis dont reproduce like pigs..so they are few in numbers..they focus on raising their quality of life and education..we on other hand are obsessed with going to heaven by mass reproduction..

If they allowed him to play on their land, they should have played his national anthem too.

Absurdness.

But I just watched the video, they played the anthem of the international judo federation.

I don't know may be tradition is play the federation anthem instead of the country so I would like to see previous ceremonies.

Exactly either don't let the Jew in or play by the rules

Spare us, whatever we do, we canot come even near to the world champion of absurdness, India, where people are called Pakistani just because they are muslims.

LOL an Indian posting Israeli news. Go figure. I would be more worried about a lack of toilets in India than some Israeli news.
