This is when, during the Olympic Truce one can be represented on a worldwide stage, but continue to hate people based on ethnicity. That is what some of the villains do, using the Olympic arena as a theatrical stage.
During the opening ceremony of Olympic Games in Rio there were more egregious incidents, which should have no place in the Olympics. Firstly, the representatives of the Lebanese national team made a demarche to the Israelites and blocked the entrance to the bus that was carrying both teams into the stadium. The head of the Lebanese team even tried to close the entrance to the bus with his body, bravely blocking the path of the Israeli Olympic team.
Later, at the stadium, during the passage of the Israeli national team under the national flag, whistling could be heard from some of the crowd. It is significant that the Games organizers did not react to such unsporting behavior of athletes and fans. Probably, they have to wait for some more concrete steps towards the Israelis to somehow respond. Perhaps, as of the Olympic Games in Munich in the 72th year, when for the same reasons and with the same motives 11 Israeli athletes were killed because they dared to be born Jews?
Since then, the Israelis have learned a lot and made serious conclusions: Today Israeli national team is guarded the best specialists. Israel does not forget the lessons of the past and is able to defend their honor and dignity.
