The president of Palestine’s National Olympic Committee says he will not shake hands with his Israeli counterpart, or any of their delegation, at Paris 2024 unless they recognise his state’s right to independence.
Jibril Rajoub, who has led calls for Israel’s athletes to be banned from international competition amid the war in Gaza, told the Guardian he would not engage with Yael Arad or her colleagues out of principle if they crossed paths during the Olympics.
He also claimed the Palestine team have not been given any instructions about how to conduct themselves in the event that they come up against an Israeli competitor, saying his organisation will guard against any violations of the Olympic Charter.
“Before you ask me, ask them: do they recognise the very existence of the Palestinian people and our right to an independent state, next to Israel, according to UN legitimacy?” Rajoub said. “If they have this commitment, as a matter of principle I have no problem shaking hands with anyone who is recognising my right to self-determination and our right to existence.
“But I will not shake hands as lip service with anyone who does not. It isn’t a matter of courtesy, it’s a matter of principle. They would have to be ready to fight to build bridges of peace by mutual recognition.”

It’s just as well. You don’t want to know where that Palie’s hand has been.
Daniel 8:23-25
King James Version
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the Holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

(It’s starting to smell like Munich.)
And Abu Mazen is still alive.
I pray 🙏🙏🛐🛐 there’s significant security for Israeli athletes.
What events are they in? Raping? Bomb throwing? Murdering?
Palestinian triathlon :Bomb throwing
Decapitating,
100m Stoning.
Do they need "instructions"?
Their natural inclination, apparently, is to pull out a knife and start stabbing people.
They are heavy favorites in the running bomb vest competition.
Palis are always the winners at the suicide vest event;-)
Why would anyone touch these filthy murdering ragheads for any reason?
“One never know, do one?”
Now there is a widespread power outage in Paris, France.
Great. Now I’m not gonna be able to sleep at night knowing the dirty Arabs won’t shake Jewish hands. /s
Funny, but the Palestinian governments do not recognize Israel’s right to exist.
Will the Islamists shake the hands 9f faggots?
