Boos Erupt for Israeli Athletes at Milan Winter Olympics amid Gaza Genocide Fury

The four-member delegation from the Israeli regime entered Milan's San Siro stadium waving their flag, but boos quickly interrupted the festive atmosphere.

Though the soundtrack drowned out much of the negativity, the unfriendly reception underscored widespread condemnation of the regime's actions.

Israeli athletes had anticipated such hostility, given the regime's devastating assault on Gaza.

The Israeli regime's genocide has killed nearly 72,000 Palestinians and wounded over 171,400 since its escalation, with estimates suggesting the true death toll may approach 200,000.

The regime has destroyed about 90 percent of Gaza's buildings and homes, while occupying more than half the territory.

Even after an October truce, the regime has killed nearly 560 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to Gaza health officials.

Palestinian resistance fighters, in response, have killed four regime soldiers, per regime authorities.

Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance also encountered a chilly reception during the ceremony.

Shifting to related political undercurrents, Vance's appearance on the stadium's big screen drew a mix of cheers and boos from the crowd.

This reaction tied into broader protests earlier that day, where hundreds demonstrated against US policies, including opposition to officials like Vance.

The boos for Vance amplified the tense atmosphere, reflecting intersections between US support for the Israeli regime and global discontent.

Despite these disruptions, the overall ceremony remained upbeat.
