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.
LOL. Sounds like you need to do more home work. Search a bit on how the jews were massacred by muslims in the “crusade of banu qeinu-qa” in the year 624 here, and banu qurayzah in the year 627. They literally slaughtered them to the last man. It was literally called by some historians “the massacre of banu qurayzah”. Here. Translate it to english if you can’t read arabic. These are just known historic facts.
Telling me to do home work. lol
Oh, and “people of the book” who were treated fair are christians (they just had to pay Jizyah, which is a form of taxation to keep their religion under islam), not Jews. Jews were/are just universally hated by muslims throughout history.
People of the Book absolutely applied to Jews. Ever heard of the Muslim prophets Noah, Moses, and Abraham? It is the main reason for them fleeing to Muslim countries during Christian persecutions of their communities. Second class, sure, but to say they were only mistreated is a blatant historical accuracy. Iran and Turkey are home to large Jewish communities to this day. Sephardic Jews, from Spain, were expelled by Catholics, after living for several hundred years under the Umayyad Caliphate.
Iran’s issue is with the existence of a Jewish state. Not the existence of Jews in the world.
Please educate yourself before acting like you know better. A basic Google search can literally disprove much of what you claim.
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
