Liora Rez, the founder of StopAntisemitism, is calling for the firing of a Swiss broadcaster who questioned an Israeli athlete's participation in the Winter Olympics.

Radio Telesvision Suisse commentator Stefan Renna dubbed Israel's skeleton competitor, A.J. Edelman, a "self-defined Zionist" who has posted several messages on social media in support of the "genocide" in Gaza. Renna mentioned the United Nations when clarifying his use of the word "genocide." 

"It's almost like Al Jazeera, puppet-state media broadcasting versus a European TV network, and it was entirely inappropriate," Rez said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "We firmly believe that Stefan needs to be terminated, and an apology needs to be issued by his broadcasting network."

The network said it "removed the segment from our website" after the remarks, "although factual...may have appeared inappropriate due to its length within the context of a sports commentary."

Rez also called on the International Olympic Committee to "step in and make it clear that political commentary, specifically chastising the world's only Jewish nation, is just completely wrong and will not be tolerated."

"Unless consequences are enacted, more and more things like this are going to happen...just because these platforms and events are so large with massive, massive audiences," Rez said.

"Listen, we're talking about the Olympics during a bobsled competition. These guys are flying down this ice track in northern Italy going at 100 plus miles an hour. It was not the time for commentary on the Israeli-Gaza war," she added. "There's plenty of chances to speak about it. That was clearly not it... Rather than commenting on the bobsled competition and form or speed, he took it to vilify not only Israel, but to maliciously isolate and go after the team captain. It is just wholly inappropriate and he needs to be held responsible."

The IOC found itself in the headlines when they sold controversial t-shirts featuring Nazi propaganda, which were sold out.

"If they truly wanted to showcase extraordinary athletic talent, they could have honored someone like Jesse Owens, whose achievements at the 1936 Berlin Olympics stood in direct defiance of Nazi ideology. Instead, they chose to pay homage to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. That choice speaks volumes," Rez said of the shirt.

Rez said she has seen antisemitism "skyrocket" since Oct. 7, 2023, and it has reached the sports world.

"The Band-Aid of antisemitism has been completely ripped off. It's very much normalized in certain areas and before it gets normalized in the sports arena," Rez said. "That's why the IOC and other sports bodies need to take a stand, put their foot down and say this will not be tolerated. They have to ensure that things like this never happen again in the future. It was again wholly wrong, entirely inappropriate."

Rez hd a message for the Jewish athletes who will still have to deal with antisemitic comments.

"There are millions supporting you, behind you. Keep your head up, be proud, and just do your best. We're behind you."

FIRST ON FOX: Wealthy Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris bankrolled Hunter Biden's legal defense and other bills when he was facing charges for federal firearms and tax crimes, and now he is helping finance the gubernatorial campaign of one of the most vocal defenders of Hunter, a new campaign finance filing reveals.

A campaign filing that was released on Tuesday revealed that Morris, who was dubbed Hunter's "sugar brother," for bankrolling his legal bills and lavish lifestyle, donated $29,900 to Rep. Eric Swalwell's, D-Calif., gubernatorial campaign on Feb. 2.

Swalwell, who reportedly helped orchestrate Hunter's surprise press conference outside the Capitol in Dec. 2023 while he defied the House Oversight Committee's subpoenas to testify behind closed doors, was one of the loudest critics of the GOP investigations into Hunter during the Biden administration.

"There is absolutely zero evidence Hunter or his father acted corruptly," Swalwell said at the time. "So I’m not going to sit quietly and let MAGA Republicans do Trump’s bidding in Congress."

ICE DIRECTOR FLIPS SCRIPT ON SWALWELL AFTER DEM LAWMAKER DEMANDED HIS RESIGNATION

Morris and the younger Biden first met in 2019 at a campaign event for Biden's then-Vice President father, and the pair eventually developed a burgeoning relationship at what Morris called one of "the lowest point[s]" in Hunter Biden's life. Morris ended up forking over so much cash, more than $6.5 million, that Politico reported about concerns he could not keep footing Hunter Biden's legal bill if the case went to trial, which it ultimately did not. 

Morris also reportedly helped pay for luxury housing for Hunter Biden, bought more than a dozen of the former president's son's amateur paintings and helped the young Biden pay his overdue tax bill.

During his time helping Hunter Biden, Morris faced multiple bar complaints, including from the Trump-aligned America First Legal, which accused Morris of violating California's Rules of Professional Conduct after he was publicly photographed smoking marijuana while Hunter Biden, a recovering addict, was around visiting. 

Morris was also accused of trying to sneak onto the set of a movie about Hunter Biden's misdealing, but was eventually cleared by the state bar association in California.  

SWALWELL VOWS TO MAKE ICE AGENTS 'UN-HIRABLE' IN CALIFORNIA STATE GOVERNMENT POSITIONS

A person close to the Hollywood attorney told Politico that the reason Morris decided to help Hunter Biden is that he saw that no one else was going to step up and support him.

Swalwell's support at the 2023 press conference by reserving the "Senate Swamp," a popular area near the Capitol that is often used for press conferences, raised questions at the time about whether the California congressman played a role in the then-first son's decision to deny a congressional subpoena from Republicans seeking to question him about his alleged crimes and other financial dealings. 

Morris, who previously maxed out donations totaling over $6,000 to Swalwell's House campaign in early 2023, and Swalwell stood beside each other during the viral press conference later that year.

"Degenerates of a feather flock together," a longtime GOP strategist told Fox News Digital. "Eric Swalwell is literally Hunter Biden's biggest cheerleader – from reserving the Senate Swamp to defending the Biden Crime Family's litany of illicit activities."

Morris and Swalwell also have ties to China that have raised questions among critics. In 2024, Morris confirmed to lawmakers that he still held a stake in a Chinese private equity firm that he took over from the president's son. Morris initially acquired the shares after purchasing Skaneateles LLC, a company that Hunter had previously owned, in the fall of 2021 as pressure mounted for Hunter to divest amid concerns about his stake in the China-based company. 

Swalwell, meanwhile, has long-faced criticism over his ties to China after it was uncovered that he was allegedly the target of a Chinese spy influence operation during his early days as an elected official. The incident led to Swalwell getting booted off the powerful House intelligence committee several years later when the allegations became public.

Fox News Digital reported last month that despite Swalwell's heavily criticized relationship with the Chinese, his gubernatorial campaign accepted multiple donations from a Chinese-based law firm and its sole U.S.-based attorney Keliang "Clay" Zhu.    

Representatives for Swalwell did not respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment in time for publication.
