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 🤷♂️

You suggest banning the US and all major Western countries from global sports?
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?
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.
Good? Is this supposed to be a gotcha?
Not really just being realistic that it would never work with the current empire power structures.
Bro is just full of gotchas. I guess we should just let the white baddies in and only keep the brown baddies out of our sports 😂
It’s ok to commit atrocities if your country is “western” ig
