IOI (International Olympiad in Informatics, youth computer science competition) members vote to bar Israel from competing Olympiad over Gaza war
Members of the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) have barred Israel from participating in the 2025 prestigious computer science competition.
Seems like a cool organization. It looks like it has over 90 countries as members, including Cuba, Russia, Iran, China, Vietnam, etc.
Israel is still listed on the members page and the competition this year already just happened, so lets see if they actual commit to banning Israel by the time the next one comes around https://ioinformatics.org/page/members

Specifically, the action means that beginning in 2025, Israel will not be recognized as a participating delegation at IOI, but four contestants from Israel may still participate under the IOI flag.
Finally, some good nerds
Computers are khamas
