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.

    Bulldozing settlements for 20 years may do that too, but Israel didn’t care enough about repercussions to stop taking Palestinians land.

    I get your point about the decision being made already, but to say no.criticism.is allowed because of something that happened 50 years ago is simply absurd.

        Great take, really shows how good you are at defending your opinion. Gonna repeat my previous point, just because someone disagrees with you it doesn’t mean they’re a bot, now go lick more genocidal boots and leave us alone

          Don’t worry, SpaceCowboy will ignore everything you said, accuse you of ignoring everything they said and of not displaying critical thought, and justify calling you a bot.

          I’m checking to see if you’re a bot because you’re just throwing out random examples of things without any indication of critical thought.

          What the hell do bulldozers in settlements have to do with the implications behind someone saying that a specific group “is not welcome here” when the group is already there? Nothing.

          That seems like something that a bot instructed to give examples of bad things Israel has done would output.

          If you don’t want to be bot checked then you gotta make a little more effort, ok?

            Change “bulldozers in settlements” to “burning Jews in concentration camps” and read it again. Then think if that would be right.

            Israel is MURDERING innocent people to grab their land. And if you think that “every Palestinian is Hamas, even toddlers” anybody can say, using the same ‘logic’ that “every Jew is an invader, even toddlers” and consider them military targets.

            And it would be the exact same stupid thing.
