There’s no point in trying to politically analyze antisemitism.
Whether left or right, people are either paid by Jews or they are antisemitic.
An MP for the radical-left France Unbowed party has sparked outrage after saying Israeli athletes are not welcome at the Paris Olympics and calling for protests against their presence.
Citing Israel’s war in Gaza, Thomas Portes told a pro-Palestinian gathering in Paris on Saturday: “We are just a few days away from an international event to be held in Paris, the Olympic Games. And I’m here to say that no, the Israeli delegation is not welcome in Paris. Israeli athletes are not welcome at the Olympic Games in Paris. We have to use this deadline and all the levers we have to mobilise.”
…
Portes later told Le Parisien newspaper that French diplomats should put pressure on the International Olympic Committee to ban the Israeli flag and anthem at the Games, which open on Friday, “as is done for Russia”. “It’s time to end the double standards,” Portes said.
Yeah, I mean, they make Russians compete with no flag. Even if you think Putin is an evil tyrant or whatever the heck, no one can claim he’s slaughtered children like the Jews have. Anyone who thinks any country can be sanctioned at the Olympics would have to support sanctioning the Jews.
Indécence de Thomas Portes !

Maybe the Olympics should be some kind of totally apolitical event, where nations come together regardless of international conflicts to play sports. That was actually the original concept. But then they banned Russia because of a border skirmish in the former USSR. So surely, the Jews, doing a much worse war, must be banned?
