It is a bit strange that they're allowed to compete in Europe. I get why it is the way it is but you'd think that they would compete in the Asian stuff. Also, I don't get why an active aggressor still gets to continue doing stuff like this. Russia is being banned but not Isreal?

The hypocrisy of Israel's actions being consistently covered up by its allies is going to cost us dearly in credibility and influence in the future, especially when compared to the demands made on other countries, like cutting ties with Russia.
