Iranian defector and judoka Saeid Mollaei dedicated his silver medal to Israel at the Tokyo Olympics, and thanked the Jewish state for the “good energy.”
Breitbart “This medal is also dedicated to Israel and I hope the Israelis appreciate this achievement,” Mollaei said according to the Kan public broadcaster.
“I hope the Israelis are happy with this win,” Mollaei said, and added in Hebrew: “Todah (thank you).” Mollaei competed on behalf of Mongolia in the final of the men’s judo 81-kilogram division.

Mollaei left the Iranian team after his refusal to forfeit a match against Israeli judoka Sagi Muki in 2019. Soon after he was granted refugee status by Germany when he was forced to flee his birthplace.
Mollaei became good friends with the Israeli contender, Muki.
He eventually received citizenship in Mongolia and flew to Tel Aviv earlier this year for a competition.
Earlier this year, Iran was slapped with a four-year ban against participation in judo tournaments for refusing to let its athletes face off against Israeli competitors.

Just imagine your own Government telling you to throw a Match so that you will not have to “suffer” competing against Israel, as they probably knew Israel will kick their ass and didnt want the shame…. Boo Hoo, cry me a river you camel jockeys.
Why didnt he take Israeli Citizenship, and what was up with leaving Germany for such a country as Mongolia, so I guess you dont have be born in a county in order to compete for them in the Games anymore.. That seems wrong to me…

FACT: the Iranians’ hatred of the Arabs (& Afghans) far exceeds the propaganda hate the Iranian state has against Israel.

I love this! He sees what a wonderful country Israel is and that Israelis are wonderful, good people!
He was granted refugee status in Germany and then moved to Mongolia. I wonder what the story behind this is? Was his life in Germany in extreme danger because the EU, Merkel and other cruel, ruthless God hater German leaders heavily colonized SAFE Christian Germany with Muslims?

I would guess he couldn’t qualify for the Olympics in Germany but Mongolia probably didn’t have many judo competitors.

I would guess there’s far too many Turks and Iranians, as well as other mosquerats, in Germany to be comfortable for him to stay.
At least in Mongolia, all he has to worry about are the Chinese…for now.

I’m sure the Israelite are more thrilled with the difference in this man’s life.

It’s never the people that want war. It’s ALWAYS their governments.
Good for this man. I hope he keeps his head on a swivel…and on his shoulders.

Muslum supremacy. Muslims are the worst sports ever. They are like the baby that throws a tantrum when they don’t win. Miserable to play board games with as well. They cheat too much because they can’t stand losing.
