Peace scorecard: Israel: 2, Arabia: 0

[Gamblor]

This last Olympic Games, you may recall how an Iranian Judoka made a mockery of the spirit of goodwill by refusing to compete against his Israeli opponent.

Now, an Egyptian table tennis player has decided ona repeat non-performance.

I always find it interesting how the Israeli never has a problem turning up to compete against his or her Arab/Muslim opponent. The problem is always on the other side.

What does this tell you about Israel's and the Arab world's respective desires for peace?

Bear in mind that Egypt is supposedly at peace with Israel.
