Olympic team blames 'Zionist conspiracy' for trans boxer row

The director of Algeria’s Olympic committee has claimed that a female boxer at the centre of a row over her eligibility to fight against women is the victim of a “Zionist” conspiracy.

....

Speaking before the bout, which guaranteed that she would win at least a bronze medal, Yassine Arab, the director of the Algerian Olympic and Sports Committees, claimed Khelif had been attacked by shadowy forces.

“The Zionist lobby, they want to break the mind of Imane. But now Imane is very strong. They don’t want that a Muslim girl or Arabic girl goes higher in the level of the rank of female boxing,” he said.

The same people who believe that Israel is an apartheid state and that Hamas are not terrorists.

I thought transgender activism was our fault. At least that’s what the MAGA groypers keep saying.

So both transgender activism AND transphobic rhetoric are Evil Zionist Plots?!
