Yep. But we were making a big deal out of Russia doing it so pot meet kettle.

Letting israel participate is a stunning display of hypocrisy to the world.

Even allowing one country to compete and not another leads to a slippery slope. Like suddenly we’re letting one slide while the other can’t compete based on some arbitrary rules? Sounds like favoritism and/or pay-to-play. The US pulls so many strings, it makes sense why Israel gets a pass when they don’t deserve one. It’s all about US influence.
