If we want to exclude athletes from international competition just because the ruling class in the country they happen to have been born in undertakes military action, that's fine. We just have to be consistent about it. I'd like to see athletes from the US, Isreal, UK, France, Canada, and many other countries treated the same way the west is currently treating Russian and Belorussian athletes.
Israel is attacking, it isn't the children Israel slaughters wholesale that are dangerous.
Hamas attacked on oct 7th because Israel has been commiting genocide against Palestinians for decades prior.
Israel has no casus belli.
