    Any country with leadership that commits war crimes should not be allowed to compete. Israel, the US, China, doesn’t matter who. Also, any soldier working for a foreign army that is well known for committing atrocities should absolutely not be allowed to compete.

    Make it easy.

    I get what the meme is saying, but IMO it’s not executed as clearly and well as it could’ve been.

      Yep. But we were making a big deal out of Russia doing it so pot meet kettle.

      Letting israel participate is a stunning display of hypocrisy to the world.

        Even allowing one country to compete and not another leads to a slippery slope. Like suddenly we’re letting one slide while the other can’t compete based on some arbitrary rules? Sounds like favoritism and/or pay-to-play. The US pulls so many strings, it makes sense why Israel gets a pass when they don’t deserve one. It’s all about US influence.
