31. @24 did he say "wear kipa"? Was his wife in back of the arc?

32. I do wonder if it was the adults behind this
meghan ,   israel   (05.08.12)
boy that made the discission. Yes he may have lost, but he may also have won, because of hate ..wont know. Maybe the same problem with adult sportsmen, what will happen back home if the Israelis wins!!
33. Riyadh Booz's is my favourite comment so far
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (05.08.12)
It's such a great amalgam of racism and the old Arab apartheid thinking that it is kind of funny to read. This is a 10-year old boy who is being steeped in the values of apartheid, and hatred. Riyadh is happy, because it corresponds to his view that Jews do not belong in the Middle East, that we have no history, that diasporas do not exist. It is such a pure expression of racist ignorance that it is educational to see it all in one place. Thank you, Riyadh!
34. More bravery!
Igor ,   Germany   (05.08.12)
We need more of such kind of bravery, typical for Arabs when confronting Jews, especially in wars.
35. @34 Rather, you need a good Israeli medicine like Effexor .

Uh-x, the poor fellow unlucky who and what you're not Jews, not their intelligence, diligence and contribution to global progress in everything, including chess and sports in general.
36. very unfortunate but common
SYB ,   Israel   (05.08.12)
This happens all the time in international chess competitions. For ex., Iranians never play against Israelis... very insulting and completely ridiculous
