Russia and Belarus were kicked out of rugby, football, and most major competitions almost overnight after the invasion of Ukraine. The logic was: “Sport must take a stand against aggression.”

Yet Israel — a Middle Eastern colonial state running a decades-long occupation and now accused of mass civilian atrocities — faces no comparable consequences.

Western governments and international bodies treat #Israel as if it’s more #European than #Europe:
– It competes in European #rugby
– European #football
– European #basketball
– European song contests

It’s politically positioned as “one of us,” while Russia and Belarus are the “other” Europe.
