Palestinian athletes join Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony

It rained all day on the parade, the weather agrees
Palestinian team supporters display a banner criticising Israel over war crimes in Gaza from a balcony in Paris
I caught a glimpse of the floating parade (ffwd through the thing) Iran came in, the Canadian voice over went on about how there was a push to get Iran banned from the Olympics for there treatment of women. And see how there are only male athletes on their boat.
Then when Israel appeared soon after, nothing about the push to ban Israel. The Canadian broadcaster only said: "The sad truth is the Israeli athletes need 24h protection after attacks through social media". Always the victim. The voice over didn't touch why they would be 'attacked' on social media.
Double standards and hypocrisy.
At least the voice over did show some sympathy when the Palestinian athletes came in "Over 400 athletes killed and injured in the war in Gaza". Of course no context about the 'war'.
