In news from the Paris Olympics, Waseem Abu Sal received thunderous applause on Sunday as he became the first Palestinian boxer to participate in the Olympics. During the Olympic opening ceremony on Friday, Abu Sal wore a shirt showing children being bombed — in defiance of strict rules against making so-called political statements. After losing his match on Sunday, Abu Sal said, “The Olympic Games are already a victory for Palestine.”
