France’s Mahieddin Mekhissi, three-time Olympic champion, compared the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu by Adolf Hitler, incurring the wrath of his fellow citizens. “Adolf Hitler is a comment child in front of Netanyahu! The leaders of the West are his true collaborators,” the French athlete wrote on X, accompanying his message with the hashtags, #Nazisrael #GazaGenocide and #IsraeliNewNazism.
The French newspaper Le Figaro, wrote that the above post sparked criticism at X including the mayor of Rennes Arnaud Robinet, who wrote: “And to think that this person wore the shirt of the French team! I am ashamed of our city… what a failure!”
Et dire que cet individu has porté le maillot de l’équipe de France! J’ai honte pour notre ville… quel naufrage ! https://t.co/UubEWkbnvC
