The whole world is very excited about the Tokyo Olympics. Meanwhile, the impact of tensions between Israel and Palestine is now visible in the Olympic stake. Within a week, two players have refused to play against Israeli judo athlete Tohar Butbul. Algeria's Fethi Nourine withdrew from the 73 kg judo competition a week ago as they were scheduled to take on 27-year-old Butbul. The decision was taken by Noorin because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Noorin said he was supporting the Palestinians against Israeli atrocities.
After the same Naureen, Mohammed Abdul Rasool of Sudan has now withdrawn from the contest against the same Israeli player. Rasool ranked 469th in the world of judo, however, has not yet explained why he has finally decided to stay out of the match. Earlier, in a discussion with Algerian television, Naureen had said that he had worked hard to qualify for the Olympic Games, but the Palestinian issue is the biggest. I have always been firm about my place in Palestine.
At the same time, he further said that I am against the normalization of atrocities committed by Israel in these Games and if it causes me to be dismissed from the Olympic Games, I am ready for it also. I hope the one above is watching and he will make up for it. It may be recalled that Earlier also, Noorin was scheduled to take on Butbul at the 2019 World Championships, but even at that time, Noorin had distinguished himself from the match. Thereafter, the International Judo Federation had also suspended Noorin.
