The Israeli Death Forces (IDF) are American taxpayer funded psychopathic serial killers of the Middle East, like Jack the Ripper or Charles Manson.
With world class universal healhcare, to boot.
Besides butchering, crippling, maiming, and killing Palestinian athletes to prevent them from competing in international sporting events, this removes any vestiges of their nationhood.
No Palestinian athletes or performers at UEFA, FIFA, the Olympics, or Eurovision?
Therefore no Palestine in people's minds.
Like the callous SS Einsatzgruppen of WWII, the Israelis have killed 75,000 human beings in Gaza and over 1,000 in the West Bank since 7 Oct 2023.
US midterm elections are scheduled for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

How do you think anyone sees them as heroes?
How about this:
