Why did they even join instead of protesting?
If we gave back land to EVERYONE who lost territory due to war, the world map would look drastically different. Everyone's been conquered or conqueror at some point in time. And the Jewish people originated from Israel long, long before the Romans conquered the region and renamed it Syria Palastina. Israel was conquered and reconquered and reconquered again and again and again; all the UN did was give the land back to its original ancestral people. Agree with it or not, what's done is done, and the Israelis aren't giving up their home ever again.
But claiming that the land is Palestine just shows how ignorant you are about the history of the region. The Palestinians are only the most recent tenants of the region...not the original homeowners.
I don't get it. Suppose what you're saying is true.
No, suppose it's worse. Suppose Israel is the literal incarnation of the devil himself, a wretched hive of scum and villany.
SO WHAT?!?!?! We can just ignore sportsmanship, the rules of competition and the rules of the organizers?!
Iran openly hangs gays and treats women badly. So in the next olympics we shouldn't let Iranian flags and anthems be played? As long as the organizing body says so, how can you just ignore it?!
TLDR - You host the competition, you abide by the rules of the organizers. Your opinion means fu#! all.
Ha nice gold, good job mate, fuck those haters.
Never heard of that. but i heard the warmongers on the right wing side of things used UN resolution violations as a green light to invade iraq and overthrow the government and the stability in the country. so it must mean something right? oh if those violations is done by your beloved israel it is ok we wont punish you for it amirite?
the sheer existence of a jewish person pisses off all the surrounding countries.
Wouldn't blame Israel for being mass invaded and attacked for 20 years outnumbered and out gunned and demolishing the opposing armies :3
well Israelis kinda killed the people that were originally there :3
Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonggggggggggggggggggg before islam or even christianity were a thing

It is true. and i have no problem banning iran's flag either if they execute gays and lesbians. really the difference between liberals like myself and folks that view themself as more conservative is that they pick a horse and bet on it even if that horse is shit while a liberal can call out both horses as being shit
Israel and the entire Islamic world are a contentious bunch.
Ounce of self-respect, let alone national pride, which can be found in abundance in Israelis, would make anyone reject attending such organization. Thankfully, I respect myself as an individual and I'd respond to any sort of racism directed towards me the most appropriate way. For this, protesting to join is way to go.
And ask yourself why is it like this? could it be that the occupation of palestinian land that has been expanding over and over and over and over is a culprit here? i mean how would you think and view if a foreign power stole the land upon which your family have depended on for generations? you would support that theft right?
