Watch this proud, righteous Jew stand up against Islamic Jew-hatred.
Gold medal for Israel in Abu Dhabi: No Israeli anthem, flag
Islamic Jew-hatred, it’s in the Quran. No surprise there – 1,400 years of bigotry and racism. Need a primer? Read “In Ishmael’s House: A History of Jews in Muslim Lands” by Sir Matin Gilbert.
What is horrible and evil is the international community’s sanction of this hatred and genocidal ideology. Nations should refuse to allow any Muslim countries to participate in these games if they will not behave as civilized nations. Sanctioning this vile bigotry is as evil as the act itself. We know where this will lead.
The Israeli Judo champion, who had to sing “HaTikvah” a capella on the winner’s podium due to a discriminatory ban on the Israeli flag and anthem, speaks out about his brave decision.
United With Israel, October 29, 2017:
Tal Flicker, the Israeli judoka who won gold at the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam judo tournament, had to sing his own “Hatikvah” and stand under the International Judo Federation’s flag because the anti-Israel organizers refused to play the Jewish state’s national anthem or display Israeli symbols.
The International Judo Federation demanded that the Arab hosts of this tournament treat Israeli athletes equally and permit the display of Israeli symbols, but these demands were ignored.
Watch Flicker speak about why he decided to sing the Israeli national anthem on his own.

He will be even more marked than most Israelis are thanks to his skill and courage.
He should go into Ultimate Fighting/MMA and just kick the hell out of those BDS idiots.
We should boycott UAE at the next Olympics.
That’s Arabs. That’s Islam in its best.
So now the idiots want a world where there is no Israeli anthem; and morons in the NFL that disrespect the American Anthem.
yet the anthems of these vile and disgusting racist/sexist human rights violating countries like UAE, Iran, don’t get any protests.
A true champion in every sense of the word. Congratulations !!
Islam is a sickness.
Did you guys know that jewish people are not allowed to travel to Saudi-Arabia? If you’re jewish ( let alone if you’re israeli citizen ), your visa – application will be denied. But that is not even the worst of it! The worst of it is that this terrible kingdom of Saudi-Arabia holds a seat in the “UN – human rights Council”!
Can you imagine that?
Its up to the Federation and athletes, whatever sport or activity, to enforce international recognition. These muslims produce nothing, no sports, no music, no science, nothing so why allow them to continue with their stupid, childish antics. I know it all about money but this goes beyond that.
no art, no books, no movies, no theater, no world-class universities, very little beauty, and more hate than love. But some nice mosques, and soccer. They think ISLAM is their greatest contribution to the world. (No thanks!)
Boycott racism, don’t do business with Islamic States.
In terms of sporting events, Muslim Nationalists tend to qualify more in the Water-boarding events!
Enhanced techniques, I believe.
Do not have any games in muslim countries. In fact, don’t let the muslims participate until they change their ways.
They can still participate in the sport of Water-Boarding!
Tweet it to pro-Sharia advocate Linda Sarsour with the message: This is the definition of courage.
