First get an Israeli champion.
Then when they ask you to play Hatikvah, say, “I fo-o-o-rgot.”
It has happened twice recently.
Of especial interest is the Girls Under 14 group. On the one hand it was won by an old friend, WFM Marsel Efroimski, whom we encountered in our report on Israel Schoolmates and Champions. There was a protest launched when the Israeli National Anthem was not played at the closing ceremony (see below).

In Austria:
The two Israelis won gold and bronze medals at the European Cup fencing tournament for under 17s. Dana Stralinkov, 14, won gold and Alona Komarov, 13 won bronze.
But the Austrian official in charge of arranging the national anthems played when the winners went on the podium said he could not locate the recording of ‘Hatikvah’.

Instapundit has a facetious suggestion (in regard to a related but not identical incident)
Obviously, Jews should have been setting off truck bombs and sawing off heads, which induces an entirely different set of behaviors.
