"Protests have erupted in Italy against the Winter Olympics, with thousands marching to condemn Israel’s participation, the presence of ICE agents with the US delegation, and the event’s environmental and social impact. Smoke bombs and firecrackers were set off before Milan police responded with tear gas and water cannon." #BDS #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #IsraelWarCrimes #WesternComplicity

@MarciaW ICE agents with the US delegation? Seriously? How can the Olympic committee allow this?

@pg1958

How can they allow this? How can they allow Israel to participate? How can they allow ICE?

"The US vice president and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is close to Trump, hailed their “shared values” on Friday, with the latter calling the games an event that brings together Italy and the US, and “Western civilisation”.
