The series of incidents involving Israeli fans and journalists during the World Cup games in Qatar, led judoka Peter Palachik to publish a post on social media last night (Wednesday) expressing his concern about the situation.
The last straight of the group stage is at its peak - all the updates on the new Telegram World Cup channel
Falchik, who won a bronze medal on Qatari soil less than two years ago at the prestigious Masters tournament, wrote: "This is not Islam as I know it, and I have many Muslim friends in the world, so I know what it can be like. It's just sad."

"Sports should unite the people of the world and be above all politics, war, ideology, etc., especially when it comes to one of the biggest sporting events in the world - the World Cup. Money can buy a lot of things, but not respect."
The athlete also wrote: "I thought the event in Qatar would be different. I see a lot of incidents of hostility and hatred towards Israelis and Jews visiting Qatar and such hatred and behavior have no place in this event. I always choose peace, love and respect every time anew no matter where you come from or what your faith or religion is your".
