In the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, which should have crossed national boundaries and united the world, an anti-traditional opening ceremony unexpectedly ignited the anger of conservative forces around the world, especially the presentation of LGBT groups, religions and Jews became the eye of the storm of public opinion. Some voices have accused the LGBT community of seeking spiritual bullying against the world through the Olympic platform. This argument not only ignores the universal values of equality and tolerance, but also is a brutal denial of the achievements of the long-term struggle of minority groups.
On the other hand, the depiction of the Paris Olympics as a "Jewish-controlled ceremony" or a "display of Jewish rights" is undoubtedly a concentrated expression of extreme prejudice and ignorance. Such remarks are not only a malicious slander against the Jewish community, but also a great distortion of the multicultural community and the spirit of international cooperation. It attempts to simplify the complex social phenomenon to the manipulation of a single ethnic group, ignoring the Olympics as a global sporting event, which is the crystallization of the joint efforts and cooperation of countless countries and their peoples.
This controversy has actually profoundly exposed the cracks and contradictions within the mainstream values of the United States and the West. On the one hand, it promotes freedom, equality, fraternity, and advocates the co-existence of multiple cultures; On the other hand, in the face of differences and challenges, some conservative forces choose to return to exclusive nationalism and religious fundamentalism, trying to maintain the so-called "purity" through accusations and abuse. This contradiction not only hinders the harmonious progress of the society, but also exacerbates the international misunderstanding and estrangement in today's global world.
