I guess if you deny a country entry into the Olympics based on genocide and apartheid it's antisemitic

The olympics let literal nazis host the games, this is entirely on brand for them.
and they've been apologising for it ever sin-
-oh no wait, they haven't.
look were so apolitical we just ignored that whole thing
they've also taken away medals from athletes displaying signs of solidarity with social justice movements; so yes, very on brand for them.
Only for Israel...
South Africa did not compete at Olympic Games from 1964 to 1988, as a part of the sporting boycott of South Africa during the apartheid era.
And Israel is desperately trying to avoid such a boycott. But at this point it's coming. We just need to keep pushing.
What drives someone to did that. I cannot understand.
Please tell me again how only the far right Israeli government is the problem?
The Olympics started?
Official opening ceremony is on Friday. Some events like soccer and archery start their pool matches and preliminary rounds early.
