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.

    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.
