It’s not an April Fool’s joke, just a fool on April 1st. According to the mayoress of Paris the 2024 Olympic games will be open to everyone – except Russians.

The mayor of Paris has reiterated her proposal that Russian and Belarusian contestants stay away from this summer’s Olympic Games in the French capital, despite them being officially allowed to compete as neutrals.

“I want to tell the Russian and Belarusian athletes that they are not welcome in Paris,” Anne Hidalgo told Ukrainian athletes at a training center in Kiev on Thursday, while on a visit to Ukraine.

It gets better:

When asked about Israel’s Olympic participation – in the context of the Gaza war, raging since the Hamas attack on October 7 – Hidalgo insisted there was no comparison to be made.

Sanctioning Israeli athletes is “out of the question because Israel is a democracy,” she stated.

Out of the question. Got it? Fighting Nazis = banned. Genocide helpless people = democracy. The window for the French people to do something to save their nation is slowly but steadily closing.
