Paris protesters demand Olympics ban for Israel
Protesters gathered outside the Olympics headquarters in Paris to demand that the Israeli participants be sent back over the genocide in Gaza.
Campaigners made plenty of noise and used graphic images to highlight their concerns over Israel's participation in the 2024 Olympics.
They gathered outside the headquarters of the games in North Paris, accusing organizers of turning a blind eye to Israel's atrocities.
The French government is remaining silent, even more than silent; they are whitewashing genocide. They are pretending that it is normal to have Israeli athletes here under the banner of their nations.
Protestor 01
Many French (citizens) are with Palestine but the media, the French media, and also in England or in the United Kingdom, they are supporting genocide. This is not correct.
Protestor 02
Activists say it is hypocritical of the International Olympic Committee to ban Russia and Belarus from the games but not genocidal Israel.
We have been here for a month and a half to say no to Israeli criminals coming to Paris. They are all soldiers and they all commit crimes in Palestine.
Protestor 03
One protestor, who had painted her face in red like blood, was insistent that the Israel team go home, and be banned.
Yes, like blood, like blood, red like blood, like blood of the children of Palestine, like the blood of the women of Palestine.
Protestor 04
There is genocide in Palestine, in Gaza specifically. And we are all here for eight weeks and we will continue until Israel is banned from the Olympic Games.
Protestor 05
Israel has killed more than 39,000 Palestinians since October and thousands more are currently dying due to a lack of food and medical care.
Those taking part insist they will continue to protest throughout the entire Olympic Games up to and including the closing ceremony on the 11th of August.
