Pro-Palestinian demonstrators
'Heil Hitler' chants at Israeli Olympic soccer match

Pro-Palestinian protesters made their presence known at the Olympics in the worst way possible, by evoking some of the biggest anti-Semites in human history directly from the stands.
Take a look… As the Israeli team took to the field alongside the Paraguayan team at the Parc des Princes on Saturday…anti-Israel protesters carrying Palestinian flags repeatedly gave Nazi salutes and chanted “Heil Hitler.”
according to Sky NewsThe singing of the Israeli national anthem was also booed by protesters holding a banner reading “Genocide Olympics”, who were reportedly removed during the match, which Paraguay won 4-2.
Organizers of the 2024 Summer Olympics confirmed the incident to the media, condemned it as anti-Semitic, and said a complaint had been filed with French authorities, who are reportedly cooperating with the investigation into the incident.
In the wake of the murder of 11 Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Games and the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, Olympic organizers have taken steps to prevent crises, including providing Israeli athletes with 24-hour security and escorts to and from official competitions.
Last week, French cybercrime officials were called in to help after the personal information of Israeli athletes was leaked in a hack. Needless to say, three Israeli athletes have also received death threats. It's fair to say that everyone in Paris is on high alert right now.
