Olympics: French lawmaker, Thomas Portes, announced today that "the Israeli delegation is not welcome in Paris"

[THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP]

Far-left French lawmaker, Thomas Portes, announced at a Free Palestine protest today that “the Israeli delegation is not welcome in Paris. Israeli sportspeople are not welcome at the Paris Olympic Games.” He also called for protestors to “mobilize” against it.

Israeli athletes are facing abuse in every corner — from anonymous death threats to threats from a government official.

French Jewish groups, as well as other left-wing politicians, have condemned Portes, and say he is putting a target on Israeli athletes’ backs.

But the damage of a government leader publicly calling to ban Israelis from the Olympics is not so easily reversed. And French Jews, who are already experiencing unprecedented hatred, will be left to deal with the antisemitic fallout.
