Pro-Palestine protesters made their presence known at the Olympics in the worst possible way … invoking the biggest antisemite known to human history straight from the stands.
Check it out … as the Israeli team lined up on the field alongside Team Paraguay on Saturday at the Parc des Princes … anti-Israel demonstrators holding Palestinian flags repeatedly made the Nazi salute and chanted, “Heil Hitler.”
According to Sky News, the Israel national anthem was also booed by protesters, who held a banner that read, “Genocide Olympics.” The protesters were reportedly removed during the game … which saw Paraguay coming out victorious thanks to a 4 to 2 final score.
The organizers of the 2024 Summer Games confirmed the incident with the outlet … where they condemned the anti-Semitic action. They also noted a complaint had been filed with French authorities … who are reportedly assisting in investigating the incident.
After the events of the 1972 Munich games — where 11 Israeli athletes were killed by Palestinian terrorists — and the ongoing Israel-Hamas war … the Olympics org is taking action to prevent a crisis. Specifically, Israel’s athletes have been given 24-hour protection, as well as escorts to and from their official events.
French anti-cybercrime officers have also been called to assist … as Israeli athletes’ personal information was leaked last week in a hack. Not to mention, 3 athletes from Israel have also received death threats. It’s safe to say everyone’s on high alert in Paris right now.
