Paris, August 2 (RHC)-- Protesters gathered outside the Olympics headquarters in Paris to demand that the Israeli participants be sent back over the genocide in Gaza.     Campaigners made plenty of noise and used graphic images to highlight their concerns over Israel's participation in the 2024 Olympics.

They gathered outside the headquarters of the games in North Paris, accusing organizers of turning a blind eye to Israel's atrocities.

The French government is remaining silent, even more than silent; they are whitewashing genocide. They are pretending that it is normal to have Israeli athletes here under the banner of their nations.

Activists say it is hypocritical of the International Olympic Committee to ban Russia and Belarus from the games but not genocidal Israel.  

One protester said: "We have been here for a month and a half to say no to Israeli criminals coming to Paris.  They are all soldiers and they all commit crimes in Palestine."

Another organizer of the protests in Paris told reporters that Israel has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians since last October and thousands more are currently dying due to a lack of food and medical care.

Those taking part insist they will continue to protest throughout the entire Olympic Games up to and including the closing ceremony on the 11th of August.
