Topic: Irans flagbearer back home after carryin Posted: 14-Aug-2004 at 11:46 |
He went to the Olympics to just show his racial hate against Israelites, however he is not guilty because if he fought against that Israelite fighter then Mullahs would cetrainly kill him!

ATHENS, 13 August - On the day of his proudest moment when he carried his country's flag at the Opening of the Athens Olympic Games, Iranian double world champion Arash MIRESMAEILI withdrew from the Olympic Competition on Friday. The judo draw on Thursday evening put MIRESMAEILI into his first bout against Israel's judoka Ahud VAKS in the under 66 kilogram competition. Iranian team officials said MIRESMAEILI did not want to fight in a competition against Israeli fighters as he sympathised with the Palestinian cause. The Iranian sources have confirmed that the major favourite for the Olympic title under 66 kilograms will not even compete for the repechage with a chance for a bronze medal. In the past, other Iranian judokas have declined to fight against Israeli athletes. At the Judo World Championships in 2001, Mahed MALEKMOHAMMADI of Iran didn't want to fight Yoel RAZVOZOV of Israel. In 2001 Masoud HAJI AKHOUNDZADE (IRI), at that time Asian Champion, didn't fight Israels lightweight Zvi SHAFRAN. |

In my opinion, I think this is kind of sad, because the message behind the Olympics is sportsmanship with no racial or cultural barriers. I probably don't understand this conflict as well as Middle Eastern peoples, but I think if you're going to show your political beliefs in a neutral sport competition, you shouldn't even show up at all. But, that's my opinion.

As far as I can judge it from reading the article, he hasn't any racial
hate against Isrealites. Supporting the Palestinian Cause doesn't make
you an anti-semite.

No, but it misses the idea with the Olympics, or at least what is pretended to be the idea. As said, it should be free of politics, and even arch enemies should sportsmanshiply compete against each other. I wonder if that worked better during the original games...

Really sad. I heard that in original olympics, even wars would stop...and everyone would concentrate on what was going in on in the olympics...

Jeez lets all follow in this guys footsteps and stop watching the news or reading newspapers because thats all ran by Jews anyway. And lets also all move out of the U.S. because its an Israeli colony.
I dont know, its a funny situation, im all for a Palestinian state and i dont exactly love Jews to death....but his approach to the situation has little to do with the cause.

They are, if anything, our far-distant cousins. And I dont need to ask them what I feel in reality.
