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.
Country under attack and striking back at aggressor is sympathetic with other county under attack striking back at aggressor
Who would have thought
I’m sorry in your fantasy world land grabbing Russia is the aggressor but land grabbing Israel is the victim? Do you have memory prior to October 2023?
How much back do you want to go?
Yom Kippur war?
First Israel-Arab war?
Israel isn’t a perfect or even a great country. Obligatory fuck Nettanjahu. But no matter how far back we go, you can’t honestly say that it is the aggressor.
I hate to say it, but there’s a reason why Netanjahu was elected.
He was elected because Israel exists and grows because of the right of all jews to live there. Now which type of people are most likely to seek refuge in Israel? Religious zealots, the persecuted and the right wingers that are full of fear.
In modern history if we just go back to the foundation of the state, Israel have not adhered to the agreed borders, however unjustly they were created. Israel has blocked and encamped an entire people, and if they leave they have mo right to return as Israel oversees thencomings and goings into the Palestinian State. Other entrances to the state are used as political footballs on Israeli whims.
Israel is an apartheid state.
1948. The initial invasion and instantiation of an ethno-state that precipitated all future conflicts. No matter how far back we go… just ignore the beginning.
Okay Walt
You somehow think that Israel is at fault for being attacked in 1948?
Or what is your Point here?
