The poor Palestinian guy couldn't train for the Olympics - the Israelis wouldn't let him. Bad, bad Israelis.
Except, the story simply isn't true. (Source: LGF)
SPIEGEL ONLINE fell for the scam. Which was predictable.
We still have fond memories of the last time Palestinians participated in the Olympics in Germany...
Deutsche Version
Der arme Palästinenser durfte nicht für Olympia trainieren - die Israelis erlaubten es nicht. Böse, böse Israelis.
Obwohl - die Geschichte stimmt einfach nicht. (Quelle: LGF)
SPIEGEL ONLINE fiel darauf herein. Was man erwarten konnte.
Wir erinnern uns immer wieder gerne an die letzte Teilnahme von Palästinensern an der Olympiade in Deutschland...
I don't know whether to laugh over sloppy reporting, or cry because ideological lies were used too shape it into the truth! One thing is apparent though, it's time for many reporters too get a how-to-book on reading comprehension!
