YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

For as long as it has existed, the Olympics has shrouded itself in the language of international fraternity and peace. Yet more than 10 months into Israel's genocide in Gaza, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has yet to take action against the pariah state's participation in the Paris games. Edge of Sports host Dave Zirin speaks with Jibril Rajoub, head of the Palestinian Olympic Committee, for an exclusive interview. Rajoub describes the hardships and obstacles Palestine's athletes have overcome from the "fascist, racist occupation" to attend the Paris Olympics, and calls out the silence from the IOC regarding Israel's genocide.
