Sure, that other group of child killers and rapists should face the same restrictions as the Russian ones.

Hope is right. But note the down votes because this place is infested with Russia apologists.

So with this logic, because of America’s current and past war crimes if America wins gold we don’t get to fly a flag either or hear the anthem? Even if the athlete wants to? What then about Germany, or France, or hell, Iran? I honestly don’t know what countries are in the Olympics these days but sometimes libs tend to get all up in arms about weird shit like olympians should be able to fly their flag?? Why not?? What significance does it hold for this athlete? You just want to humiliate her on behalf of her Government?

Yes to all of your points. People should be ashamed of representing a fascist regime starting wars and committing atrocities.

Russia is nowhere near the evil of the zionist project. That's just flattening an entire genocide into a regional conflict.

You are lessening the genocide in Palestine by saying that the war in Donbas is essentially the same thing.

I have some respect for broad anti-war-ism when applied consistently. I don't agree with it, but it's at least understandable.

Being pro-Israel and anti-Russia is gibberish (or racist (or both)), and yet it is the broad international consensus in the West.

I would not even call it broad concencus

There are a lotmpf people that agree what Israel does is fucked up bit have been raised to be so "Jewish people are victims and can never do wrong" that they don't dare speak out about obvious atrocities leat they be called an antisemitic.

Add to that Israeli and Jewish organizations that will immediately stompvon anyone daring to open their mouth, and yeah, you get a lot of manufactured consent.

The biggest drivers of antisemitism world wide for the past 5 decades have been Israel, the IDF, and Jewish organizations that promote Zionism.

To be clear: I have zero problems with individual Jews. I hate all religions, as all religions are evil but I seriously don't care if you're brown, black, green, gay, bi, trans, Catholic, Jewish or Muslim. Be a good person and you're a friend in my book.

By that logic, can't we apply all the crimes of the Russian war against Ukraine to that girl too? Like, not to defend the Israeli athletes, but do we know if they personally committed rape or murder? Do we know that the Russian girl didn't?

I feel like a simpler solution would be to not let a country participate in the event at all if they are the aggressor in a war and/or committing atrocities, especially if the organisation/country hosting it is on the opposite side of the war 🤷‍♂️

Unironically, yes.

Attacking Iran unprovoked is another war of expansion that should not be tolerated by the international community.

Oh, and for the attack on Venezuela, too. We're running it as a client state now. Colonialist bullshit.

More than just the US participate in the attacks on Iran and the genocide in Gaza. You'd be banning most of Europe as well.

Well yeah, why the fuck are they bombing fishermen and being pirates for oil in South America and starting an unending and losing war in Iran? If America wants to participate then they can host their own sports bullshit. Same for Russia and Israel.

Why would I exclude them from my anti war stance?
