“Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the International Olympic Committee (#IOC) headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland to demand that Israel be barred from competing at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris amid the ongoing genocidal assault on Gaza.
The protesters held up a banner stating: ‘Let’s ban the genocidal Israeli state from the Olympic Games,’ the Anadolu news agency reported.
They left red handprints on the building’s entrance to draw attention to the civilian casualties in Palestinian territory.
Protesters pointed out that the committee ‘only took a few days’ to exclude Russia and Belarus from the 2022 Olympics over the war in Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022.”
