No Olympic Games as if nothing had happened! Join the campaign to #BanIsrael
In January, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel was committing a plausible genocide against the 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Here are some examples of what Israel is doing to Palestinian athletes and sports facilities in Gaza as part of its genocide: Among the more than 31,000 Palestinians in Gaza killed by Israel are an Olympic football coach, a FIFA referee , dozens of players, athletes and technical staff. Israel destroyed the offices of the Palestinian Olympic Committee, turned sports facilities into shameful centers of mass detention and torture, and bombed most of Gaza's major stadiums. Yet the International Olympic Committee (IOC) still plans to allow the genocidal Israeli regime to participate in the Olympic Games this summer in Paris. As the IOC meets today, act now to say that there is no place for genocide and sporticide in the Olympic Games! Share this message on your networks: As part of its #GazaGenocide, Israel is also committing sporticide, killing Palestinian coaches and athletes of the @Olympics and destroying stadiums. I pledge that there will be no Olympics as usual if genocidal Israel is not banned. #BanIsrael
