This Israeli Judo Champion Has Perfect Solution When Arabs Don't Provide Him National Anthem - He Sings It Himself!
What a response.
An Israeli won gold medal at Abu Dhabi judo grand slam but was forced to receive his medal without his country's national anthem and flag.

The organizers at UAE (a country known for discriminating against Israeli Jewish community) simply refused to raise Israel's flag as the 25 year old judo champ, Tal Flicker, scaled the podium to receive his medal. Flicker quitely sang the anthem anyway after winning under-66 kilogram category.
Wow. Israeli wins gold in Judo in Abu Dhabi, which refuses to show Israeli flag or play its national anthem. So he sings it quietly himself. pic.twitter.com/EuJbcP4wTu

Flicker¡¯s moment of dignified defiance in the face of bigotry was lauded all over on social media.
Unbelievably dignified in a really horrible situation. https://t.co/2UJOZLndXt

Shameful: Israel ??'s Gili Cohen won bronze at #JudoAbuDhabi2017, but instead of raising her flag, they're raising the @IntJudoFed's. pic.twitter.com/u4uh4Wsetn

This should be shown to 'wannabe liberals' who have problems in standing up for the national anthem. https://t.co/GOxCSxbHuM
