OLYMPIC COMMITTEE THAT DENIED MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR BUTCHERED ISRAELI ATHLETES, SIGNS OFF ON ONE FOR DEAD BRITS……….

 

A moment of silence for the victims of the 7/7 jihadist attack is appropriate, as would have been the inclusion of the murdered members of the Israeli team. Interestingly the IOC refused the one for the Israelis due to not wanting to mix sadness with a joyous event..then allowed the Brits to mention their murdered countrymen.

Like I said earlier, the OIC (the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation) has severely influenced the IOC.

London Olympics pauses to honor dead Brits, not Israelis

In the worst decision of the Opening Ceremony, the International Olympic Committee allowed one moment of silence to be held – just not the one that it should have permitted for the past 40 years.

After saying there would be no moment of silence to honor the 11 Israeli athletes and coaches who were killed at the 1972 Munich Olympics, the IOC permitted a video tribute to the 52 people who were killed in the suicide bombings in the London transit system the day after the city won the Games in 2005.

That was kind, and fitting, but it only served to highlight the extraordinarily bad judgment the IOC has shown in the matter of the Israelis, who were killed simply because they were Olympians living in the Olympic village. As has been the case for 40 years, the IOC recently refused repeated requests from world leaders and families to honor the Israelis, including President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and leaders of Canada, Australia, Israel and Germany, among others.

  1. Double insult to Israelis. OK to tribute to the victims of the London bombings but what do they have to do with the Olympics anyway?

    Everything just gets more bizarre by the day, as the West turns twists left of the truth, of the moral ground of civility, into a pretzel.

  2. I think things are clearer now. The British tabloids and the government are intent on destroying their country both financially, and through the slow loss of integrity and culture. Romney was 100% right on this. The UK isn’t ready for the Olympics. It’s not ready to host a picnic! If there is a terrorist attacks (and I believe there will be), it will be hilarious to see the government and their media friends confirm everything they attacked Romney for saying. Pathetic. Hey, British patriots. If things do break down and you have a revolution, give the politicians and the journalists what they deserve.
