Palestina - Israël

After Russia went into Ukraine, Russians were effectively outlawed from international sports.

The International Olympic Committee banned athletes deemed too close to the military, and Russian teams were expelled from FIFA, UEFA, and FIBA.

Russian athletes were excluded from competing internationally in archery, badminton, baseball, basketball, biathlons, canoeing, chess, curling, cycling, gymnastics, Formula One, field hockey, ice hockey, judo, pentathlons, rowing, rugby, sailing, skating, skiing, soccer, surfing, swimming, taekwondo, tennis, triathlons, and volleyball.

Even the *International Cat Federation* issued a ban on Russia-affiliated felines, including Russian Blues, Peterbalds, and Siberian cats.

The handful of sports bodies which begrudgingly allowed Russian to participate again, now demand that Russians compete as ‘neutral athletes,’ and not display their flag or support their country’s military.

With Israel currently in its ninth month of genocide in Gaza, having killed as many as 186,000 Palestinians, how has the global athletic community responded?

So far, not a single body has blocked Israelis from competing.

The president of World Athletics, which currently prohibits Russian and Belarusian athletes, pushed back against banning Israelis, saying: “We’re not a political body… We remain politically neutral.”

Asked if the International Olympic Committee would consider a blocking Israeli athletes amid their ongoing genocide, IOC president Thomas Bach said: “No, there is no question about this.”

Russia, he said, “forced us into action by their invasion and their annexation of parts of Ukraine.”

No such declarations about Israel — which invaded Syria’s Golan Heights and Lebanon’s Shebaa Farms in 1978, forcibly annexed them in 1981, and has been militarily occupying them ever since.

Calling Israel a Jewish State *endangers* the Jewish people.

Since the start of the Gaza war, the Jewish people have been targeted for no reason of their own.

Zionism fosters antisemitism.

Jews are being blamed for the actions of a foreign government because Israel freely exploits our name.

Like Rabbi Shimon Schwab of blessed memory wrote: “Zionism has resulted in a tidal wave of antisemitism..” - (prominent Leader in Torah Jewry)

So instead of Zionists retracting their false representation claims, they plot and manipulate Jews to immigrate to the very ‘safe-haven’ where the very Oct 7 attacks happened.

This would be satire, hadn't been so tragic.

In 1896, Alexandre Promio captured a collection of films titled “La Palestina en 1896, " showcasing different scenes from Jerusalem and parts of Palestine.

The scene “Leaving Jerusalem by Railway” contains what is possibly the first depiction of camera movement in the history of film.

The film showcases that Palestine was not a land without people for a people without land.
