What are you talking about , large part of Syrian/Lebanese/Palestinian are Christian,  this religion is middle Eastern not European 

do you remember this Syrian olympic gold medalist in heptathlon "ghada chouaa" ...she is Christian 

The middle east used to be predominantly Christian. Maybe you should ask yourself why/how that changed.

Maybe christians should start asking back for their former lands ...

Would be a good start to clear the gaza strip. Palestinians should get additional land that borders the West Bank and then they should create their own country there. Historically muslim countries (Jordan, Kuwait, Syria, Egypt) have had very bad experiences with palestinian refugees and therefore they don't want to take them in. Another huge wave of palestinian refugees would only further destabilize the region/Europe. Israel creating a wave of refugees isn't in Europe's best interest. The best thing for palestinians would be to get their own state and if they then continue to attack Israel, Israel will be able to treat them like any other country and take the appropriate measures. It would also give other countries the chance to send palestinian refugees back (which currently isn't possible, since they don't have their own state).

I know nothing ofc here but i don’t think ISR ever decides to give up a direct access to the Red Sea. Eliat is too important here

    • First,  … Oriol Cardona Coll is the favourite in men’s ski mountaineering, with the mixed relay also favoured, and there’s fringe chances for Queralt Castellet in women’s snowboard halfpipe, Lucas Eguibar in men’s snowboard cross, and Ana Alonso in women’s ski mountaineering (she got into a car crash a few months ago, wasn’t serious thankfully but not in great form) depending on the day…    For  Bulgaria one of Zamfirov or Krashniak in men’s parallel giant slalom is what I’m thinking, but maybe Yankov can medal too (although his season has been pedestrian), Zamfirova in women’s parallel slalom also has a decent chance   For  Belgium, I think Kim Meylemans in women’s skeleton, the Crystal Globe winner, and potentially one of the Desmet siblings in short track…   For  Georgia, obviously Metelkina/Berulava in pairs figure skating   For  Latvia it’s all about luge. Bots/Plume and Upite/Kaluma in men’s/women’s doubles, Aparjods in men’s singles, and the team relay. Kruzbergs might also have a chance in short track but don’t see it.    For  Poland, in short track Maliszewska in the women’s 500m, and the women’s and mixed relays have chances, Krol-Walas in women’s parallel slalom, Zurek in the men’s 500m and 1000m. Easiest pick of them all.    For  their biggest chance is mixed team aerials IMO due to the lack of teams competing, Kotovskyi in men’s aerials and Brykina are other chances.    I actually don’t have  Brazil reaching the podium, Rocha Silveira hasn’t had the best results on the WC circuit, Burgener’s scores this season won’t be enough for a podium, and most of their hopes rest on Braathen IMO   Same with  Estonia, Kaldvee/Lill are a strong team but I have four teams slightly above them. 
    • fis basically only cares about alpine skiing (and despite that, they always find the way to make disasters also on it) if it wasn't for the North American tv money, I guess they would even get rid of those "freestyle" events, leaving them to the X Games organization
    • Last Olympics Canada only rejected a quota after they got to 8 female. Hard to say but they will probably take them.
    • A bit shocking to see Brazil with the most votes so far! They do have 3 good medal chances though (Pinheiro Braathen, Rocha Silveira, Burgener) so it's well deserved.   I also originally included  New Zealand on the poll but I must have deleted them by accident although they probably also would have gotten the same amount of votes as Brazil so it wouldn't have made much of a difference.    
    • Korea accepted a halfpipe quota so there will be a total of 22/25 competitors entered in women's halfpipe.   The good news is that women's ski cross will have 32 entries for the first time since 2010.
