Cowardly Jordanian paralympic table tennis player refuses to compete against an Israeli

From The New Arab:

A Jordanian national table tennis player has withdrawn from an international championship to avoid playing an Israeli player, the Jordanian Paralympic Committee said on Friday

Osama Abu Jame refused to continue participating in the Slovenia International Championship after reaching the quarter-finals where he was scheduled to go head to head with an Israeli player. 

Jame is sponsored by a Jordanian software company named ProgressSoft. 

It doesn't seem that the rules of the Paralympics are as stringent as those of other sports concerning athletes who refuse to compete. 

Jordanians seem thrilled as this show of cowardice.
