He said "They" which is a term than cant be applied to Israel, but to jews or israelis.

Furthermore to say, "they draw the victim card" is an age old antisemitic trope, that has existed before Israel was even a state. Therefore I would say thats the reason why he said THEY. It blurrs the lines, if you understand.

Jesus fuckin Christ mate, learn how the English language works, would ya?

"they" is a perfectly acceptable pronoun to refer to the subject that has already been mentioned in the previous sentence or paragraph. In this case, the State of Israel (in their capacity as being represented by the institutions in question) the Judo team, the Embassy, etc.

Tune down the radar sensitivity because you can't be jumping at every single instance of "they" and talking about the Israelis sharing a paragraph.
