More details

Sport is a source of uniting people together though different backgrounds regardless of politics, sex, race, religion, and more. To disallow Israeli athletes to perform in the championships is not only an insult to what the Olympics stand for, but also a slap in the face to the benefits Israel has provided to aid paraplegics continue to prosper in their lives by creating products like the ReWalk exoskeleton used during the London Marathon.
