The Palestinian Olympic Swimming Pool-Sized Lie
(Tablet) Liel Leibovitz - The media reported that Palestinian swimmer Mary al-Atrash didn't have access to an Olympic-size swimming pool to train in because of Israel. Actually, she had access to several. There is one in Gaza, one in Nablus, and one in her home town of Beit Sahour. Israel also offered to let her train at one in Jerusalem, which she refused to do.
