French President Francois Hollande said Sunday that Paris, a target of devastating terrorism, would guarantee the security of athletes if it hosted the 2024 Olympics.

"We can guarantee the security of the athletes, it is our major priority and a prior condition we must offer to athletes from all over the world, " said Hollande in a speech at a reception for visiting International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach.

France has been repeatedly targeted by Islamic extremists in the last two years, with Paris witnessing the bloody assault on the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in January 2015 followed by a rampage by gunmen in the city in November.

  I just read a headline about Kim Kardashian getting robbed by gun point at some luxury place she was staying in Paris.  If that is what he considers "safe" then I'll skip Paris and France.

Thinking that intentions equals results is such a quintessentially leftist way of thinking.

The Olympics have become so overblown that it is becoming a huge financial burden for any city that wants to host them.  Most of the major cities of the First World are too smart to do it, so you get either cities that can't handle it, or cities whose image is hurting like Paris.  The problem is that Paris' image is hurting for some very particular reasons that aren't going to go away no matter how much Hollande wishes they might.

Will @EmmanuelMacron’s France be safe enough to host the Olympics this summer? Or is there the danger of a 1972 Munich massacre copycat because of France’s unvetted migration and porous borders?

“Some 2,000 foreign troops and police will be sent to Paris to bolster security for this summer’s Olympic Games as France remains on high alert following attack threats.”

Yep Paris is safe.  Just as safe as the Israeli participants were at the Munich Olympics.

[Fishrrman]

Safe as in Munchen, 1972.

If you have to "say that you're safe", well...

Israeli would have to be nuts to send their team there.

Not enough money. You could not pay me enough to go to downtown Paris unarmed. Nasty, dirty, filthy place, full of third world rejects.
Thieves rapists and murderers is all you find in Paris today.

Ditto. We used to love visiting western Europe, but there's no way we'd want to go to someplace taken over by Islamoterrorists.

Not just Isamoterroists, keep in mind that all of the people France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, America, are 'taking in', are all people who were rejected by Islamist governments worldwide. These are all the worst of the worst.

Criminals, insane asylums, prisons emptied, all sent to the West to take care of. Only stupid White Christian people are dumb enough to accept and coddle them ... while the rest of the world laughs at how naïve they are.

Israel would do well to send a significant force of IDF personnel if they send a team and make that a condition of participation. The Frogistanis cannot be trusted to protect Israeli athletes, and various Arab-Pali and Iranian-backed terrorist groups would fall over each other trying to do a Munich 2.0.

Islamic Terrorism is ‘Main Concern’ for Upcoming Olympics, says Paris Police Chief
By Pamela Geller - on June 23, 2024

The French have already foiled an Islamic attack ahead of soccer events during the Paris Olympics.

Left-wing leaders across the Western world, along with leftist non-governmental organizations, are continuing to facilitate an unprecedented migrant invasion into Europe and the US. – importing jihad terror as immigration policy.

Last month, a Muslim teenager was been arrested by anti-terrorism police in France after he wanted to “die a martyr” at the Olympic Games in Paris this summer.  ...

RE:

The best course of action for Israel would be to just "sit this one out" -- keep their athletes and staff home. Don't tempt fate.

Excitement Builds For First Olympic Games Held In Muslim Country
Jul 8, 2024 · BabylonBee.com

PARIS — With the world's top athletes gathering in Paris in the coming weeks, excitement among media and spectators alike continued to build around the globe for the first Olympic Games to be held in a Muslim country.

While the city of Paris had previously hosted the Olympic Games in 1900 and 1924, this year's Games of the XXXIII Olympiad will mark the historic first time that the storied athletic contests took place in an Islamic nation.

"We couldn't be more excited and also terrified," said International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach. "This is a tremendous milestone for the Olympic Games, and we are honored to have them taking place in a Muslim country for the very first time. The beautiful architecture, the vibrant culture, the constant threat of violent knife attacks and mass murder… it all makes for a wonderful experience here." ...

With just over two weeks until the opening ceremonies, authorities reported only eight mass stabbings, 30 assaults on Jews and Christians, and 264 sexual assaults in the last month leading up to the games. ...

I sure hope the Mossad has a strong presence or better yet Israel's Olympians go home where it's safer than France.
