2016-08-07 | |
[Hot Air] This report from the BBC is confirmed by first hand accounts from not only the Israeli team, but from the hateful Lebanese team as well. More on the Lebanese reaction in a moment. Here are the basics from BBC: Perhaps the Lebanese team got the memo. Lebanese athletes refused to share a bus with the Israel team to get to Friday’s Rio Olympic Games opening ceremony, members of both teams said. Lebanon and Israel are officially at war and have no diplomatic relations. The incident happened as the Lebanon team sat on the bus waiting to head to the Maracana stadium, before demanding the Israeli athletes must not board. The Israeli team refused to be bullied and they boarded the bus heading for the Kumbaya, world peace ceremonies.
