here's the thingThe Israeli have a point here - Sportsmanship is a ethic by itself - to conflate it with state policies, well, it's just not sportsman like. But Banning Iranian athletes from international events?? No.
let the Iranian concede if he or she chooses or is coerced to, they only bring shame on themselves.
Iran doesn't recognize Israel as a country.
Competing with its athletes would be a sign of recognition. I don't agree with this whole thing (not muslim and don't have a care in the world for the Islamic regime of Iran and the mullahs) but I completely understand their point of view.
