Israeli Olympic team flagbearer signed bomb shells aimed at Palestinian children
Israeli team is set to participate in the Paris Olympics starting Friday after the French government as well as the International Olympic Committee turned down calls to ban it over the genocidal war on Gaza. | Netizens have been fuming at the body responsible for organizing the Olympic Games and Emmanuel Macron's government for allowing “mass murderers” to participate in the marquee sports competition. According to reports, the flag-bearer of the Israeli contingent at the Paris Olympics will be Peter Paltchik, a Ukrainian-born Israeli judoka who competes in the under-100 kg weight category. ● Social media users have pointed out that Paltchik, a former European champion, was one of those who signed bomb shells aimed at Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, after the Israeli regime launched its genocidal war against Palestinians in the besieged territory in October 2023, Paltchik shared a photo of munitions signed by him. “From me to you with pleasure,” he wrote in the tweet, which stirred up the hornet’s nest.
