In March, Israeli judoka Peter Paltchik harassed and intimidated demonstrators in Japan who were peacefully protesting the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

In July, to our horror, he was chosen as the Israeli flag bearer at the Paris 2024 Olympics despite signing bombs destined to kill Palestinians and sharing the photos of this and sharing other hate speech online to taunt people and glorify violence. There can be no place for Peter Paltchik in judo.
