The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has submitted a request to bar the Jewish state from participating in the Olympics, citing discredited death statistics from the Hamas Health Ministry and false claims of genocide taking place in Gaza.
FYI: CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. h/t JihadWatch
JNS CAIR called on the International Olympic Committee to ban Israeli athletes from participating under an Israeli flag in the 2024 Summer Olympics, which opens in Paris on July 26.
In a letter to IOC President Thomas Bach.penned by CAIR’s Deputy Executive Director Edward Mitchell, the organization wrote, “Allowing the Israeli government to officially participate in the Olympics undermines the very principles upon which the Games are founded. It conveys a message that the international community is willing to overlook genocide and war crimes when the victims are not Europeans. This is unacceptable.”
Mitchell continued to claim that “more than 38,000 Palestinians, including at least 15,000 children, have been mercilessly killed in the Israeli government’s indiscriminate attacks on Gaza.” The Gaza Health Ministry has been recognized, even by the U.N., to have grossly inflated the number of casualties, especially concerning women and children.
Bach told the press in early March that there was no issue with Israel or its athletes participating in the summer games this year. When a reporter from the Associated Press asked whether Israel will be put under the same ban as Russia, Bach responded, “No, there is no question about this.” (Russia is waging an unprovoked war against Ukraine, Israel’s war on Gaza is retaliation for the Oct. 7th massacre by Hamas)
In December 2023, two months after the war began and as calls to prevent Israel from participating were already circulating, Yael Arad, president of the Olympic Committee of Israel, told French sports daily L’Équipe that Israel and its athletes will “100% be present in the Paris Olympics.”
CAIR has been an antisemitism strategy partner of the U.S. government in the past but was recently removed from the list of partner organizations after making inflammatory statements about Israel’s role in the current war against the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza.
Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR, responded on Tuesday to reports that there is U.S. intelligence Iran is trying to assassinate former President Donald Trump. “Are you sure this is not an Israeli plot to ignite another war between the U.S. and other countries in the Middle East at its behest?” Awad wrote on social media.
CAIR and other members of the United States Council of Muslim Organizations released a statement in October blaming Israel for Hamas’s massacre of some 1,200 people.
Israel should be banned from participating in the Olympics due to their government’s genocide in Gaza just as Russia and Belarus have been for their invasion & war crimes in Ukraine. Click below to urge the IOC to ban Israel.https://t.co/avZ3IA2b0G pic.twitter.com/AeCDracxcx

Why doesn’t the IOC ban Muslim countries like Pakistan from participating at the Olympics? There’s no telling when some of their “athletes” might go postal and hurt others.
It’s not like Moslems win many medals anyway. In fact, Pakistan has the dubious distinction of being the most populated country in the world without any Olympic medals, followed closely by Bangladesh.
Most Moslem athletes, like those from Pakistan, participate through “wild-card” slots granted by the International Olympic Committee, not because they directly qualify for their events,

The Pakis get affirmative action at the Olympics, and they suck at competing. 😂🤣A Paki once told me their country might start winning Olympic medals if Cricket were to become an Olympic sport finally. Well, that seems on the cards. But given Pakistan’s recent dismal performance sat T20 World Cup, and ODI World Cup, it seems very unlikely they will spring a surprise on Cricket.
Perhaps they should have an event called TERRORISM. A multi-round sport with bomb blasts, machete attacks, and kidnapping included as team events. The Pakistanis have real chance to win a gold medal at that thing. That’s what they’ve been training for their whole lives.
Israel has won at least 82 medals at the Olympics since its first participation in 1952 Helsinki. That’s an impressive achievement, and they are 6 better than Iran which won 76 medals at the Olympics.
The best Muslim athletes originate in Iran – yes, they have some champion wrestlers, weightlifters, and shooters.
Egypt is at 38.
Saudi Arabia – 4 Olympic medals for their entire history.
Bangladesh – 0 medals since 1971, that pathetic excuse of a nation was created. Not even a bronze.
You see where I’m going with this. 😊
