France: Bedbugs send shivers through Paris | DW News
--- Quote ---
> A widespread bedbug outbreak has caused an alarming situation
in Paris. The French authorities vowed to act as blood-sucking
insects infested Paris, which is preparing to host next year's
summer Olympics.

> For the fourth consecutive Olympics — two summer, two winter —
Russia is officially banned from participation by the
International Olympic Committee. It’s just this time, the
penalty has actual teeth.

> Just 15 Russian athletes — none of them artistic gymnasts —
are expected to compete in these Games, a precipitous drop from
the 335 in Tokyo.

Still 15 too many, but a great improvement nonetheless.
--- Quote ---
> The IOC has sanctioned Russia since 2018 for operating a
sophisticated state-run doping operation during the 2014 Winter
Games in Sochi. However, Russian athletes were able to compete
under ostensibly the same circumstances — the “Russian Olympic
Committee,” for example, in Tokyo.

> It was a distinction with little difference. In Tokyo, the
“ROC” won 71 medals, including 20 golds. It was good enough for
the third-most total medals and fifth-most golds.
>
> In response to Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, however, the
IOC required Russian and Belarusian athletes to apply to compete
not for any national organization, but as so-called “Individual
Neutral Athletes.” Just 16 Belarusians are expected at the
Games.

Now we have a precedent. Next, why not apply the same principle
to Israel?

What I was saying earlier:

--- Quote ---
> crowds in Paris' public viewing spaces booed Israel's Olympic
delegation as it took its spot in the Olympic parade spotlight.
>
> Protesters unfurled banners and hung posters around the city,
calling for Israel's exclusion from the games. One poster,
featuring the image of an Olympic podium covered in blood,
bombs, and the Israeli flag, read: "When it comes to killing for
sport, there's no competition."
>
> Many activists have called for a boycott of the 33rd Olympic
games following its inclusion of Israel's team. And there's
precedent for IOC action that admonishes the actions of
countries: Russian athletes, banned from competing as a national
team in the 2024 games, were screened for public, pro-military
stances following the country's invasion of Ukraine.

Meanwhile, rightists complain not about the inclusion of Israel
in the games, but about the inclusion of drag performers in the
opening ceremony:

Congratulations to Hong Kong fencing queen Vivian Kong on her
Olympic 2024 gold medal in epee fencing! An adorable young lady
loved by many in Hong Kong, I'm quite thrilled to know that
she's actually also a veggie Buddhist meditation practitioner as
revealed in this interview three years ago in which she talks
about how the veggie diet and meditative practice do contribute
to strengthening her in body and mind.

The rightist narrative that the opening ceremony was parodying
the Last Supper:

performance on social media.

> “To all the Christians of the world who are watching the Paris
2024 ceremony and felt insulted by this drag queen parody of the
Last Supper, know that it is not France that is speaking but a
left-wing minority ready for any provocation,” she posted on the
social platform X, a sentiment that was echoed by religious
conservatives internationally.

is so ignorant that even their own more educated commenters are
debunking it:
--- Quote ---
> The depiction was of The Feast of the Gods, of which many
paintings were made from the 17th century on as the Ancient
Greek and Romantic Revival unfolded after the Renaissance. The
drag queen with the halo/crown is Helios, the Greek Sun God,
whose daughter was Sequana, the goddess of the River Seine. All
this skit in bad taste proved is how Christians love being
triggered as well as their ignorance of European culture that
used to be mainstream knowledge even among Americans before WW2,
at least.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> The blue figure is Dionysus, the god of revelry, fertility,
and festivity. His daughter was Sequana, the goddess of the
River Seine, which flows through Paris (do I have to tell you
where that cities' name comes from?). The cultural ignorance of
those who would save Western Civilization and Culture is
staggering.
