A French hard-left MP sparked a political row Sunday by saying Israeli athletes were not welcome at the Paris Olympics because of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, which one senior minister said had "hints of anti-Semitism".In a post on X, Arfi branded Portes's comments "irresponsible" and accused him of "legitimising Hamas", the Palestinian militant group whose October 7 attacks on Israel sparked the Gaza war.

    Can people defending genocide hear how they sound as they defend murdering mostly children in the most gruesome of ways?

    That’s what you are doing.

    Dude is defending an active ongoing genocide, but sure, he’s the real victim because the government he supports (that actively tries to conflate nationality / race / and religion) is murdering children in the hundreds of thousands.

      I’m saying Israeli athletes are people in a conversation where people are claiming that everything is labeled as antisemitism.

      And now I’m getting labelled as being pro-genocide for doing that.

        You’re getting labelled pro genocidebecause you are, as demonstrated by your other comments.

          Joe Biden has been labelled as pro-genocide by internet lunatics too. So at least I’m in good company.

          Are you labeling everyone pro-genocide as pro-genocide in an effort to normalize genocide? So what Hamas did on October 7 will seem like a normal thing to everyone? Like what is your goal here?

            I’m calling people justifying genocide as being pro-genocide.

            Joe Biden single handedly could stop this genocide and is choosing not to. At the very least, that makes him complicit.
