By Cnaan Liphshiz : Maccabiah bans athletes from wearing Shalit solidarity ribbons at opening event
Talkback
Title: Shalit and the yellow ribbon Name: Philip City: Afula State: Israel
The yellow ribbon is not a political protest ,but rather a very human way of expressing identification with Gilad Shalit. Maybe some wobbly kneed officials are afraid the "somebody" will be offended. Nobody can stop the female participants from wearing a yellow ribbon in thei hair.
