( I understand -and appreciate- the action as against the State of Isr, not against the athletes.)

“The Swiss fencing team turned its back on the winning Israeli team during the medal ceremony at the under-23 European Fencing Championship in Tallinn, Estonia, on Saturday night.”

“During the podium ceremony, as Israel’s national anthem, Hatikvah, played, the Swiss fencers kept their backs turned to the Israeli team in alleged protest, rather than turn to the right, as was expected.”
