I don't feel like this is a strong argument, if that's what it's meant to be. If not, please disregard the following.
You don't need to watch the Olympics or the Paralympics to have compassion for your fellow human beings who are competing there. And you can simultaneously feel compassion for the cis women who feel that the playing field is not level if trans women compete with them, and for the trans women who just want to be able to compete.
I'm vehemently pro-trans, and I think that this issue has yet to be settled either way. What you seen to be doing here is an ad hominem attack on someone holding the opposite viewpoint to you (a viewpoint that, again, I hold). This doesn't help push things forward.

I used to work in France. The 30 days is just the beginning. I ended up with 44 paid holidays per year towards the end of my contract. There are different types of paid leave and I got 9 days extra because one of my children has a disability.

However, the work culture in France is extremely toxic. You face a sort of social othering if you don't conform with the unspoken rules which are even harder to understand if French is not your first language. Punishments include being managed/bored out and being "put in the cupboard" where you're given a dead end role and basically left to rot until retirement. There's a history of work related suicide in France.

Even so, you are a lot more free than in other countries. I'm not complaining. Plus, unions still have actual powers there (although they're being eroded down)

It's not just the British, the Irish indulge in this too.

Not in the slightest. I'm aware that a country isn't a monolith. Unfortunately, the country as a whole celebrates its victories in sporting events. These athletes shouldn't be punished, true. But the politicians who are committing genocide should. Their ability to celebrate their nation and to receive international acclaim is unfortunately tied up in their athlete's careers.
Allowing Israel to participate is validating a genocidal apartheid ethnostate. The athletes wear that flag.

It does make a bit of difference. There's only one side you can be on in a genocide.
Any country committing a genocide should have all of its privileges taken away. One example of this is having its athletes compete in the Olympics.

It's not a war; it's a genocide.
And Israel's crimes don't stop there.

And my comment points out that it was the wrong decision to allow them here.
The idea that the "only" thing it can achieve is to drive hostility to those who have arrived is an untested assertion. For example, how about the majority of French people who are horrified at Israel's policies? They are given voice by this statement.
I would argue that allowing Israel to compete as though nothing is wrong is more dangerous, because ten times as many people are murdered in Palestine per week than there are Israeli athletes in Paris, none of whom are likely to die even if this statement whips the entire country into a murderous rage.

Israel is an apartheid state, currently committing genocide. Why do they get to go to the Eurovision and the Olympics when Russia, another state engaging in genocide, don't? Israel doesn't deserve to go to the Olympics. It's really as simple as that.

Sometimes decisions are incorrect.

...while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
