    Israel’s Olympic team walked into the stadium during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony on Friday to a smattering of boos

    Just a smattering of boos.

    while U.S. Vice President JD Vance received a similar reception

    Not the USA. JD specifically

    at what had otherwise been an upbeat and festive celebration of the global winter sports extravaganza

    Just a few spoiled sports

    The four-person Israeli delegation, waving the country’s flag and smiling, marched into the San Siro stadium during the parade of participating countries with the boos quickly drowned out by the loud soundtrack.

    It’s ok because we turned the soundtrack up

    Israeli athletes said prior to the opening ceremony they were prepared for a potentially hostile reception following the war in Gaza.

    Since the October start of a truce, Israeli fire has killed nearly 560 people, most of them civilians, according to Gaza health officials. Palestinian militants have killed four Israeli soldiers in the same period, Israeli authorities say.

    “I’m prepared, they can do whatever they want,” Israeli skier Barnabas Szollos said ahead of the opening ceremony. “I just want to have a good race, fun race and do the best I can.”

    Let’s rise above the antisemitic protests against genocide. The guy just wants to run a race. He wants to master his race.

    Israel has a troubled history at the Olympics with 11 of its athletes killed during an attack by Palestinian militants at the Olympic village during the 1972 Munich Summer Games.

    Booing them for genocide is LITERALLY AS BAD AS SHOOTING THEM YOU FUCKING ANTISEMITES

    Oops I already pasted this part don’t worry about it
