Algerian judo dude afraid of losing to a Jew at Olympics--has accreditation withdrawn

Too scared to lose fightin' them Jooooze

Algerian judoka Fethi Nourine and his frightened coach Amar Benikhlef refused to go up against a superior judoka from Israel and for that reason their Olympic accreditation was withdrawn on Saturday. They will be sent packing and leave in disgrace, but at least Nourine didn't have to face a Jew who was going to kick his ass and humiliate him.

The International Judo Federation’s (IJF) executive committee announced they had temporarily suspended cowards Nourine and Benikhlef. In response, the Algerian Olympic Committee withdrew their accreditation, and further sanctions are expected.

The IJF said Nourine’s stance was “in total opposition to the philosophy of the International Judo Federation.” But admittedly, their refusal was totally in line with some of the anti-Semitic teachings of the Qu'ran, aka: Islamic scripture.

“The IJF has a strict non-discrimination policy, promoting solidarity as a key principle, reinforced by the values of judo,” it added.

“Judo sport is based on a strong moral code, including respect and friendship, to foster solidarity and we will not tolerate any discrimination, as it goes against the core values and principles of our sport.”

But Algeria evidently sucks.

Two years ago, Nourine pulled out of the 2019 Judoka World Championships when his draw lined him up against Israeli Tohar Butbul, a much better opponent who would have easily won, it is believed by those who follow the sport.

When you think of Nourine's history, it makes sense that he is only pulling this stunt for publicity. As a ninth-ranked judoka, in the 73kg men's division, he would have been going up against a sixth-ranked Israeli named Butbul. And let's not kid ourselves, nobody beats a guy with a name like Butbul.

Butbul will now face Mohamed Abdalrasool of Sudan in his first fight.
