Iran has banned a weightlifter from sports for life and dissolved a sports committee after the athlete greeted an Israeli counterpart on a podium.
Mostafa Rajaei, a veteran weightlifter, finished second in his category in the 2023 World Master Weightlifting Championships in Poland and stood on a podium with an Iranian flag wrapped around him on Saturday.
On anther step of the podium stood Maksim Svirsky from Israel, who finished third.
The two athletes shook hands and took a picture together, which led to the Iran Weightlifting Federation banning Rajaei from all sports for life due to what it called an “unforgivable” transgression.
Sure, buddy. You are the one who was born a muslim and was indoctrinated to shit to hate the Jews since a very young age. LOL. Please educate me. Good talk
I’m not saying your experience didn’t happen, but it’s also not the only experience to ever happen. There are a lot of Muslims in a lot of places throughout a lot of time. Saying “in my experience” is one thing. Saying “my experience is representative of all experiences” is another. The latter needs evidence.
Argument from authority.
