This Olympics competitor refused to shake an Israeli fellow competitor’s hand. He then broke his arm during the competition… coincidence? I think not.

Tajikistani judoka refuses to shake hands with Israeli opponent at Paris Olympics, later withdraws over injury
2 competitors refused to shake hands with Israel's Baruch Shmailov

Yes. We should start a compilation.
The helicopter crash of Raisi ym"sh and the fatal heart attack of that Turkish parliament member after cursing Israel...
Gotta be blind to consider these stories coincidence.
Let's hope for many more!
May those who bless us be blessed and those who curse us be cursed!

Does Hashem want the Israeli team playing in the Olympics?

Not sure but that's not the moral of the story.

See my post above.
Whoever curses us will be cursed. Sometimes Hashem treats us so we can see it openly.

I find it hard to draw lessons from the Olympics

A disgusting organization in a disgusting country where everything is anti G-d and anti Jewish

So are Turkey and Iran.
We can see Yad Hashem even in the lowest places.
I personally loved the story and hoping for many more.

It would be a lot easier for me to want to draw simple conclusions Wink

My point is- israel participating in the Olympics is arguably not such a great thing. There was likely chilul Shabbos involved etc and it’s not for pikuach nefesh etc.

If you want to only see the negative side that Jews are not behaving exactly as they should, please.

The situation looks much more positive from where I'm standing.

I'm not sure anyone disagrees with you. It's still not the moral of the story nor the point of this thread.
We are trying to find the Yad hashem here. Not by talking LH on yiden who are not frum yet.

I’m not sure how you’re missing the entire point.

Honest question, would you have the guts to stand up in front of the whole world as a proud Israeli, especially in the current climate?
We can see greatness and bravery everywhere if we let ourselves. Who says Hashem prefers some avoda over another?
