Speaker 0 argues that Israel's Olympic team is made up almost entirely of Israeli soldiers who cannot join the team without military service. She notes that in recent months Olympic athletes have signed bombs that were about to be dropped on Gaza, dedicated their medals to the IDF, and praised soldiers as heroes while bombs were being dropped on Gaza. The men's judo team reportedly visited an Israeli air force base, and the women's judo team visited an Israeli army base. One athlete posted a video of the IDF raising an Israeli flag on a Gaza beach after invading it with the caption, โ€œsalute your heroes.โ€ Another uploaded an illustration of Gaza being destroyed. She claims Olympic athletes have repeatedly stated pride in being in the IDF and representing Israel during the current moment, implying endorsement of Israelโ€™s actions in Gaza, and she says this goes beyond mandatory military service. She contends that these athletes are proud to be in the Israeli Defense Forces and openly mix sports with politics, even posing with the Israeli army as it decimates Gaza and faces accusations of genocide in the world court. She asserts there is more incriminating evidence than she can fit in the video. She describes the Wingate Facility as a site where several Israeli national sports teams are based and that it also serves as an IDF base for fitness training, illustrating how closely sports and the military are integrated. She claims the Israeli army publishes videos mixing Olympic athleticism with military service, suggesting they are indistinguishable from one another. She states that although these clubs donโ€™t compete in the Olympics, Israeli football clubs are bound to the Olympic Charter, and they give the Israeli army free merchandise and share photos of the IDF wearing that merchandise while they are in tanks and bulldozers decimating Gaza. She says the clubs organize fundraisers and receptions for the IDF, and players visit wounded soldiers and post obituaries for those killed. One player reportedly said, โ€œerase Gaza,โ€ and another asked, โ€œwhy havenโ€™t 200 tons of bombs already been dropped on Gaza?โ€ She questions what the Israeli football association does to reprimand them and claims nothing is done, with the behavior condoned in violation of the Olympic Charter and FIFA statutes. Palestinians supposedly tried to raise these issues at FIFA Congress but were blocked by FIFA twice, with the head of the Israeli army allegedly working around the clock to torpedo these efforts. She suggests this explains why Israelis consider Infantino, FIFA president, and the president of UEFA as friends. She contrasts this with Russiaโ€™s ban from the Olympics, noting that Russia could compete only under a neutral flag and not support the war in Ukraine, while Israelโ€™s actions during Gaza were not subject to the same conditions, despite the team being in the army and posting pro-genocide content. She recalls the ICJ ruling that Israel has a system of apartheid against Palestinians and argues the Olympic Committee takes no action, pointing to a double standard compared with Russia, South Africa, and Belarus. She claims Israeli soldiers violate the political neutrality of sports and the peace mission of the Olympics, and the Olympic Committee has failed to sanction or protect Palestinian athletes and facilities from Israeli bombs. She also asserts inaction regarding illegal Israeli clubs in the West Bank and Israeli officials threatening Palestinian sports officials with prison for speaking out.

Speaker 0: Did you know that Israel's Olympic team is made up almost entirely of Israeli soldiers? You cannot even join the team without having been in the army first, but that's not the half of it. During the last months, Israeli Olympic athletes have done things like signing bombs that were about to be dropped on Gaza or dedicating their medals to the IDF saying how they're thinking of the soldiers and praising them and calling them heroes as they are dropping bombs on Gaza. The men's judo team even went on a field trip to an Israeli air force base. The women's judo team also visited an Israeli army base. One Israeli athlete posted a video of the IDF raising an Israeli flag on Gaza beach after invading it with the caption, salute your heroes. Another uploaded this illustration of Gaza being destroyed. Israeli Olympic athletes have constantly said how proud they are of being in the IDF and proud to represent Israel during this moment, implying they endorse what it's doing in Gaza. You see, this is more than just mandatory military service. Okay? These athletes are proud to be in the Israeli Defense Forces. They openly mix sports with politics and even pose with the Israeli army as it decimates Gaza and stands accused of genocide in the world court. This is tacit endorsement of genocide and occupation. There's so much of this incriminating evidence. I don't even have time to put all of it in this video. Several Israeli national sports teams are based at a facility, the Wingate Facility, that also serves as an IDF base for fitness training. That shows you how much sports and the military are one in the same. The Israeli army even publishes videos like this explicitly mixing Olympic athleticism with Israeli military service as if, you know, they are indistinguishable from one another. Even though they don't compete in the Olympics, Israeli football clubs are bound to the Olympic Charter. And yet they give the Israeli army free merchandise and then share photos of the IDF wearing that merchandise while they're in tanks and bulldozers decimating Gaza. They even organize fundraisers and receptions for the IDF. The club's football players will go and visit wounded Israeli soldiers and post obituaries for those killed. One player said, erase Gaza. Another said, why haven't 200 tons of bombs already been dropped on Gaza? And what does the Israeli football association do to reprimand them? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It condones this behavior in violation of the Olympic Charter and FIFA's own statutes. The Palestinians tried to raise these issues at FIFA Congress, but were blocked by FIFA twice. The head of the Israeli army apparently worked around the clock to torpedo these efforts. So I guess it's no wonder that the Israelis consider Infantino, FIFA president, and the president of UEFA as friends. Now when the Russians were banned from the Olympics, they were told they could only compete under a neutral flag and were not allowed to be in the army or support the war in Ukraine. But when Israel is decimating Gaza, this condition doesn't apply for some reason, even though the whole damn team are in the army and are posting pro genocide things. Remember, South Africa couldn't participate in the Olympics for decades because of apartheid. Well, guess what? The ICJ recently ruled that Israel has a system of apartheid in place against Palestinians, and yet the Olympic Committee takes no action. The double standard here couldn't be clearer. Russia, South Africa, Belarus are held to one standard and Israel to another entirely. Israeli soldiers are openly violating the political neutrality of sports. They violate the peace mission of the Olympics, and the Olympic Committee has failed in its role, not only to sanction them and reprimand them, but to protect Palestinian Olympic athletes, Palestinian footballers, their sports facilities from Israeli bombs. They've done nothing about the illegal Israeli clubs in the West Bank either, or Israeli officials openly threatening Palestinian sports officials with prison if they open their mouths.

I shared a 1948 document from the UK Mission to the UN about the attack on Deir Yassin, detailing horrific acts where women and children were executed. I question the current behavior of our diplomats and why they continue to cover for such actions.

@richimedhurst - Richard Medhurst

This document was submitted in 1948 by the UK Mission to the UN, titled "Jewish Attack on Arab Village of Deir Yassin" "Women and children were stripped, lined up, photographed, and then slaughtered by automatic firing" What happened to our country's diplomats?

Eyewitnesses confirm the Israeli army's prohibition on evacuating or aiding these helpless infants. Tragic and distressing.

In discussing religious extremism, it's important to recognize that Palestinians encompass various faiths, including Christians and Jews. Misunderstanding the term "jihad" only perpetuates stereotypes. Similarly, Israelis' belief in being the "chosen people" has led to their occupation of three countries. It's crucial to approach decolonization with the same scrutiny as we do religious extremism. Americans should avoid assuming expertise on Islamic theology, the Middle East, and decolonization. Let's strive for a more nuanced understanding.

You are full of shit. Many Palestinians are not Muslim, but Christians and Jews. They're also doing "Jihad"? You don't even know what the word means. You want to talk about religious extremism? Israelis occupy three countries because they think they're the "chosen people".
