Brits turn back on Israeli anthem at wheelchair basketball game

Moshe “Mutz” Matalon, the chairman of the Israel Paralympic Committee, intends to protest the "shameful behavior."

The British Paralympic wheelchair basketball team disrespected the Israeli national anthem before a match against the Blue and White in Cologne on Saturday, turning their heads away as “Hatikva” was played.

Israel lost the game 74-64 in the third and final game of the group stage of the Nations Cup, a tournament that is preparation for the European Championships in October. Israel beat Germany and lost to Japan before Saturday’s match.

Israel secured 5th place in the tournament by defeating Poland 83-80 on Sunday.

That's OK, the US should designate the British an Islamic terroritory and a terrorist group.

Yes, poor sportsmanship, bad teeth and full of themselves. They are egotistical without reason.
