At last week’s under-17 European Fencing Tournament in Austria, the victorious Israeli female team responded to a public display of anti-Semitism on the part of the organizers with a public display of loyalty and pride for Israel and Jews. When the tournament organizers refused to play the Israeli national anthem upon the Israeli victory, claiming that they had “misplaced it”, these young Jewish patriots proceeded to sing Israel's national anthem, Hatikvah, themselves.
