The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) cited "safety and security" concerns as the grounds for its decision to exclude the Israeli team from all competitions, a move that has stirred controversy and accusations of antisemitism.

Maybe they should ban the Muslim countries rather than Israel
The old “abundance of caution” BS.
Exactly.
“ban the Muslim countries”
No kidding. Except the Islamists would infiltrate like they did in 1972 in Munich.
I’d love to see teams from Israel’s allies to stay the hell home.
When Ann Coulter and Ben Shapiro were prevented from speaking at a university after college students shouted and chanted all night with placards “No Room For Hate On Campus” broke hundreds of building windows, set dumpster fires and overturned and burned a police car, the president said “Our number one concern is for the safety of our students. We are canceling the speaking engagements out of caution.”
Note: I am not a follower of either of them-—just a fan of freedom of speech.
Coulter used the term “mob veto” which I hadn’t heard before——but now see all over the place.
There you go. I wonder why the boneheads didn’t think of that.
Steven Spielberg’s film Munich (1985) about the slaughter of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics is about the tracking down of the Muslim terrorists. A secretive group helping the Israeli agents had a leader who said “We don’t like governments. We work on our own.”
In a rational world, yes. But, here we are in demented Clown World instead.

You always support evil over good.
Muslims play hockey?
Not as bad as the Polish hockey team.....
They drowned in spring training.
Unfortunately this is a valid concern. An Israeli team is going to be in danger from Muslims anywhere they go. The Muslims won’t balk at killing infidels in the process either. That would be a bonus for the head choppers
“You always support evil over good.”
I support evil over good? Either you are an idiot or you don’t know how to write.
Shouldn’t that be up to the Israelis to decide?
Muslims play hockey?
How can they carry a hockey stick and a AK at the same time?
“Muslims play hockey?”
No, they play ice polo on camels. It is an amazing thing to see.
If you can't compete on your own, just have your competition barred from competing. Has a ring of familiarity, doesn't it?
