Comments on: Lebanese team refuses to train in view of Israelis https://www.jwire.com.au/lebanese-team-refuses-to-train-in-view-of-israelis/ Australia, NZ and worldwide Jewish news that matters Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:39:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: david https://www.jwire.com.au/lebanese-team-refuses-to-train-in-view-of-israelis/#comment-18102 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:39:21 +0000 http://www.jwire.com.au/?p=26902#comment-18102 It would be nice to know if any barriers were placed between any of the other teams.

Has the IOC issued any statement? I haven’t seen one.

Lebanon’s Caren Chammas and Israel’s Alice Schlesinger will both compete in the women’s -63kg category next Tuesday. Should make for interesting viewing.

Will Caren request to be separated from Alice’s gaze a she warms up? imagine if they finished first and second (which they won’t). The winners podium would look great with barriers hastily erested between the medallists and Caren looking anywhere but in Alice’s direction.

The photos taken by the assembled world media would be sensational.

Same thing happened years ago between Italy and Poland.

No difference to the Peer ban in Dubai,(until Venus Williams’ support),or other spoting boycotts.
We have to learn to live with the status quo.It does not mean that we have to like it,or accept that nothing can be done.
