A French hard-left MP sparked a political row Sunday by saying Israeli athletes were not welcome at the Paris Olympics because of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, which one senior minister said had "hints of anti-Semitism".In a post on X, Arfi branded Portes's comments "irresponsible" and accused him of "legitimising Hamas", the Palestinian militant group whose October 7 attacks on Israel sparked the Gaza war.

      ‘fellow man’ is normally used to mean any other human, not only those with certain traits

          Reading comprehension is not your strong point is it.

          You said fellowman, as in you believe the only people in Europe who care about other people at all are Muslims. Seeing as this is too ridiculous to be your meaning we are left to wonder.

          Did you not mean to say Muslims would be concerned about what is happening to fellow Muslims?

            Critical thinking isn’t your strong suit, is it?

            He said fellow man, not fellowman, as in he is suggesting that people in France and Germany take exception to the indiscriminate murder of other human beings, of any religious affiliation, taking place as a result of the Israeli occupation of Gaza.

            How you weren’t able to comprehend this with your clearly superior reading comprehension skills is a mystery that is too ridiculous to comprehend, so we are left to wonder.

              That’s because France and Germany have the largest Muslim populations in Europe. Turns out, they don’t like their fellow man being murdered indiscriminately.

              He is referring to the Muslim population, not that people in France and Germany as a whole do.
