Majority of Online Threats & Abuse Coming from Americans
"Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the Olympic Games opening ceremony filed a complaint with authorities on Tuesday saying “he had been the target on social media of messages containing threats and insults and critical of his sexual orientation and wrongly presumed Israeli roots”, the prosecutor’s office said."
French media reported than much of the online abuse was in English and a sizeable proportion appeared to come from the US. Jolly is gay but is not Jewish and has no immediate connection with Israel."

"Jolly, 42, denied taking inspiration from the Last Supper in his nearly four-hour production. The scene, intended to promote tolerance of different sexual and gender identities, also featured French actor Philippe Katerine, who appeared on a silver serving dish, almost naked and painted blue.
He was meant to be Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and pleasure, who was father of Sequana, the goddess of the River Seine.
"The idea was to do a big pagan party linked to the gods of Olympus," Jolly told the BFM channel.
"You'll never find in my work any desire to mock or denigrate anyone. I wanted a ceremony that brings people together, that reconciles, but also a ceremony that affirms our Republican values of liberty, equality and fraternity," he added."
