Anti-Semitic protesters were heard chanting heinous things, including “Heil Hitler,” during Israel's men's soccer match against Paraguay on Saturday night.
Protesters made their presence felt during the match at the Parc des Princes, holding Palestinian flags and a sign reading “Genocide Olympics.”
Then, as Israel's national anthem played, protesters shouted “Heil Hitler” while giving the Nazi salute.

Booing was also heard during the anti-Israel protesters' actions during the country's anthem.
Protesters were ejected from the match, according to Sky News. Paraguay defeated Israel 4-2.
This was the second time at the Olympics that Israel had to face protesters during a match, with the same cold welcome coming last Wednesday against Mali.
ISRAEL'S NATIONAL ANTHEM BOOOED AND PLAYERS BOOED DURING OLYMPIC GAMES OPENING MATCH IN PARIS
The stadium's loudspeakers were turned up to try to drown out the boos and whistles from fans during the anthem, but they were unable to control the boos that could be heard every time an Israeli player touched the ball during the match.
Israel coach Guy Luzon was optimistic after the game, saying that “the protests should be louder. They will force us to try harder,” according to Ynet News.

As the war between Israel and Hamas continues in the Middle East, Israeli athletes have been under intense surveillance by police and Olympic officials to ensure their safety. The soccer team, for example, arrived with a heavy police escort to its opening match while armed police patrolled the stadium.
Meanwhile, French police have reportedly opened an investigation into death threats received by three Israeli athletes at the Games, and Olympic organisers have requested an inquiry into anti-Semitic protesters at Saturday's match, according to Sky News.
“Paris 2024 strongly condemns these acts. Paris 2024 has filed a complaint and is available to the authorities to assist in the investigation,” Olympic organisers told Sky News in a statement on Saturday's anti-Semitic demonstration.
To ensure the security of all countries participating in the Olympic Games, France is deploying 35,000 officials each day for the Olympic Games and 45,000 were deployed for the opening ceremonies.
