RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- Middle Eastern politics spilled onto the judo mat Friday at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics when Islam El Shehaby of Egypt refused to shake hands with his winning opponent, Or Sasson of Israel. El Shehaby, an ultraconservative Salafi, had come under pressure before the games from Islamist-leaning and nationalist voices in Egypt to withdraw from the first-round heavyweight bout against the Israeli.

With about a minute and a half left in the bout, Sasson earned an automatic victory with two throws of El Shehaby. The Egyptian lay flat on his back for a moment before rising and standing opposite Sasson in front of the referee. When Sasson extended his hand, El Shehaby backed away, shaking his head. The referee called El Shehaby back to the mat and obliged to him to bow; El Shehaby gave a quick nod, and he was loudly booed as he exited.

Competitors typically bow or shake hands at the beginning and end of a match as a sign of respect in the Japanese martial art.

Once again Steve you mischatacterize other people's posts with hate and zealotry. When are you going to realize that people like you aren't doing your side any good with such arguments? You're like a state run propaganda machine.

RgrF is giving the basic Arab rationale for eliminating Israel.

If RgrF didn't post 'questions' slanted to assign blame to the deeds of the evil Jews, I could understand.

'My side' is for a peaceful two state solution. That is unfortunately not the outcome if you adopt the rationales RgrF is laying out. For instance, you'll notice he doesn't ask about compensating the 800,000 Jews expelled penniless from Arab lands. Or the Arabs who didn't get out of the way of the 'victorious Arab armies' in 1948 (the ones who stayed are now 20% of Israel's population). Or the repeated Arab efforts to destroy Israel and kill every Jew there, whether with repeated invasions or organized terror. RgrF conveniently doesn't mention that....or the peace deals Arafat and Abbas walked away from.
