Think about it this way, would you be cool with apartheid South Africa? Or Nazi Germany? I don't know if they played in the games. But with hindsight I'm pretty sure, or at least hope, that most of us would answer with an emphatic NO. History will not look kindly on Israel. People say this issue is 'complicated'. The only reason it's complicated is because there are people trying to find common middle ground with genocide advocates, and of course it's going to be complicated, because finding common ground with a genocidal ideology when you are a moral person is fucking impossible.
Nazi Germany hosted the games. But apartheid south Africa was not invited
This made me laugh. Reality satirises itself
Nazi Germany hosted the Olympics in 1936. They were still a vile regime but the war and the slaughter of jews hadn't started yet.
