You are not an athlete! A glimpse of the disgust towards presence of Israeli regime at Olympics
Pars Today- The 2024 Paris Olympics have been met with widespread protests and criticism from various cultures and communities due to its shameful displays. However, this is not the only scandal surrounding the Olympics. The biggest controversy is the presence of Israeli soldier-athletes, which continues to be met with opposition.
The French government has shown that it will not allow any reaction or protest against the presence of the Israeli delegation at the Paris Olympics. According to Pars Today, Paris has announced that French security forces will be responsible for protecting the Israeli delegation 24/7.
What is certain is that the Zionists are having a tough time at the 2024 Olympics. In every competition where an Israeli athlete is present, the spectators protest by waving Palestinian flags and booing the Israeli athlete.
There have also been several instances of athletes protesting against the Israeli regime. Algerian judoka Masoud Idris withdrew from competing against an Israeli athlete in protest of the Zionist regime's crimes against the people of Gaza. Iranian rower Zainab Norouzi also showed her support for the Palestinian people by wearing a solidarity flag.
Tajikistan's judoka, Nur Ali Imam Ali, also refused to shake hands with the Israeli representative after their match. Before leaving the mat, he raised his index finger in a gesture of the greatness of God.

The protests don't stop there. Outside the stadiums, despite the security forces' attempts to suppress them, the people and lawmakers are still voicing their opposition to the Israeli delegation's presence.
French lawmaker Thomas Portes said during a protest in Paris:
"Israeli athletes should not be applauded at the Olympics. We should pressure the International Olympic Committee to ban the Israeli flag and anthem, just like they did with Russia.”
Even pro-Israeli networks have acknowledged the widespread hatred towards Israeli athletes. Specifically, Babak Es'haghi, a journalist with the anti-Iranian network "Iran International" affiliated with the Israeli Prime Minister's office, recently reported that the Israeli representatives at the Olympics are widely disliked among countries and people who support Palestine, and attributed this hatred to the awareness campaigns conducted by Iran.
In reality, the 2024 Paris Olympics have shown that this international event has abandoned its primary goal of promoting Olympic principles worldwide by allowing Israeli athletes to participate.
The organizers of the 2024 Olympics have allowed a regime that has killed many Palestinian athletes since the beginning of the Operation Al-Aqsa Storm to participate. Statistics show that since October 7, 2023, 350 Palestinian athletes, referees, and sports officials, as well as 250 football players, have been martyred as a result of Israeli crimes.
