Organizers forced to put up screen between Israeli, Lebanese judo fighters after latter team refuses to share mat-
By Danny Caro and Marcus Dysch
Olympic officials were forced to erect a special screen at the Excel venue following a complaint from a member of the Lebanese delegation.
It is understood the two squads had been warming up next to each other when the complaint was made on Friday afternoon.
An Israeli official at the venue confirmed a partition had been used to block the view and said the session had then continued with minimum disruption.
He said the Israeli squad had been happy with the original training arrangements but had not objected to the screen being used.
It is not known whether members of the Lebanon team will refuse to compete against Israel’s judo players if they are drawn together during the Olympics.

If this is true, what a shame .... Olympics is about SPORT, and putting aside your differences in the name of friendly competition. If this is how Lebanon wants to behave EXPEL them from the games. Simple.

They should get there thumbs out their asses and quit being little bitch's. It's the Olympics show that you're better than them!!! The Jews didn't care enough about the Holocaust to do this to the Germans during the Olympics.

silly stuff. Of course the Olympics is no place for politics but i wish that the Olympics, or a non deadly sport, was the way we fought wars instead of using all this awesome engineering and logistic BS that ends in death for everyone. Sometimes it seems to me like the human race is still in its infancy and that we have not evolved far from the image gorilla using a stick to beat away the enemy. We have just learned how to use engineering and technology to have a bigger stick than the other guy, More..

I know a lot of Lebanese people that they don't have any problem at all with the Israeli people, the big problem is that there is Hizballah dominating the lebanese government and forcing it to take negative decisions against israel. When Hizballah will get destroyed, then there will be no issues anymore like that.

What? Lebanon doesn't want to train next to a country that bombed and killed hundreds of their civilians? This is an outrage.

LOL, the Lebanese don't want to train next to a country that attacked its sovereignty in 2006, leaving thousands of civilians killed.
I don' blame them to be honest, still fresh scars.
Good thing Hezbollah handed the IDF their asses, who knows what amount of land the Zionists would have taken, claiming it was theirs all along.

@mphatik I know hezbollah is the only one to kick the sh*t out of israel. Hamas needs to learn from them.

@mphatik
You do know that thousands of Israelis were killed by Arabs as well over the years- Stop bullshiting with the "Only Israel kills Arabs, Arabs never kills Israelis..." Shit like that won't work over here.
Still Israelis don't have a problem to meet Arabs (or Iranians), specially when it comes to sport.

Hamas is locked up, land, sea, and air. What little they do to remind Israel that there are still refugee's living in Gaza that are not from there originally, is good enough for me.

Easy solution; disqualified, forfeit, train in the parking lot, or skip training
