Let the Israeli Swimmers Qualify for Olympic Relays
Our Mission
Our previous letter expressed concerns about the safety and well-being of Jewish athletes, particularly those representing Israel. Regrettably, those concerns were realized in numerous ways. Now we call on the IOC to accommodate the Israeli athletes who justifiably skipped the Doha by allowing them to qualify additional relays at the Israeli Olympic team trials on June 5-9, 2024.
Our Letter to the IOC
Please sign the latest letter to the International Olympic Committee. Israeli athletes should have a fair chance to compete in the Olympics.
13 of the 16 qualified Israeli athletes made the safe choice and declined to travel to Doha. With only 3 swimmers in attendance at the only relay-qualifying meet on the Olympic calendar, Team Israel could not qualify for 3 additional relays for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The IOC must step up with the courage to do the right thing. You have the responsibility and the power to make decisions that prioritize the safety and well-being of all athletes.
To Members of the International Olympic Committee
These are the two letters we've sent to the IOC, without any response, beyond acknowledging their receipt.
Not only have they have ignored our inquiries , they have ignored requests for comment from several respected journalists, including CNN.
Let's show them we care enough to have our voices heard.
Israeli athletes deserve respect.
