EXCLUSIVE: Israel shouldn't be allowed at the Olympics w/Jibril Rajoub | Edge of Sports

For as long as it has existed, the Olympics has shrouded itself in the language of international fraternity and peace. Yet more than 10 months into Israel's genocide in Gaza, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has yet to take action against the pariah state's participation in the Paris games. Edge of Sports host Dave Zirin speaks with Jibril Rajoub, head of the Palestinian Olympic Committee, for an exclusive interview. Rajoub describes the hardships and obstacles Palestine's athletes have overcome from the "fascist, racist occupation" to attend the Paris Olympics, and calls out the silence from the IOC regarding Israel's genocide.

The Gov't of Israel *shouldn't be allowed outside of prison cells* (after trials of course).

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

After everything they've done, they shouldn't be allowed anywhere.

[@babymonalisa]

Thank you for platforming a Palestinian voice. Thank you for caring💕🙏

Possible reply to Countries practicing Apartheid - claiming to be democracies - that send an application to participate in what are presumably fair and equal programs. Send a "Thank You for your interest in our Event. Please do not expect to be included in our program until you have discontinued your Apartheid. You have earned an Iron Pyrite Medal in the Demockracy Category."

Israel should be submitted to a sanction regimen as Russia is (and this is not a condemnation of Russia)

Speeking TRUTH has been Classified an Extremists Act.
The majority accept The Lies and are in Gross Darkness!
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
[9]Even HIM, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[10]And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because THEY RECEIVED NOT THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH, that they might be saved.
[11]And for this cause YAH shall SEND them STRONG DELUSION, THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE:
[12]THAT THEY ALL MIGHT BE DAMNED WHO BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Such peaceful people. Not!

But, they are the only competitors in the barrel fish shooting competitions

[@pamsquag]

Congrats Kapo Dave

[@BonnieHaynes-gg4nk]

Hey...lets talk 1972? Did that make you happy????

[@vintagestrings6]

Let's talk 1948 and since we are on the subject let's talk balfour declaration and UN resolution 242 how about ongoing land theft jailing of Palestinians not allowing them to return to their homes bulldozing their homes stealing the resources and not letting them have water and electricity how about the ongoing apartheid and genocide. Such a failed human being who knows the truth and turns a blind eye.

[@michelleklick1558]

They are allowed to defend their homeland like every one elese and their athletes have every right to compete.

[@milamila4981]

Израиль никого не защищает, а только нападает на соседей.
