It isn't beside the point - I believe we actually have the opportunity, compared to many countries, to make our opinions count. We have the opportunity to make our voices heard.
So to clear a few things up:
Sport and the performing arts are not the idealistic level playing field we might like to think they are. I'll stick to sport as it's the leisure activity I'm more familiar with. Sport already discriminates by sex and body weight, in para it discriminates on all manners of characteristics. It commonly discriminates on nationality, and this can vary significantly from sport to sport. On top of that national selection can be incredibly biased and loaded towards specific teams or athletes. Add in professional and amateur limitations and there is a whole other layer.
Israel and the occupied territories is not a fair and equal society. Israel openly discriminates between ethnic Palestinian Arabs and Israeli Jewish immigrants.
Fair sporting competition is closed off to significant numbers of people living under Israeli jurisdiction. Particularly where international travel might be involved. It is beholden on international governing bodies to ensure that national and regional governing bodies maintain a level of fairness and equality, particularly at grass roots. If a national or regional governing cannot maintain that code, or where it is prevented from doing so by the policies and actions of a national government, it should not be allowed to compete.
