Two Saudis refused to shake hands with Israeli athletes, withdrawing from a match with the Israeli team at a badminton tournament in Ukraine.

Israeli athletes regularly face discrimination, snubs, and boycotts from Arab and Muslim competitors solely based on the fact they hail from the Jewish state.

The recent badminton tournament in Ukraine was no exception. Watch as two Saudi players refuse to shake hands with Israeli players and withdraw from their match with the Israeli team.

When will this bigotry end?
