Israel denied "Moment of Silence" at opening of Olympics

[BrewTech]

Uhhhh... methinks there will be a problem with this...

IOC again denies widows of Israeli athletes murdered in Munich a moment of silence

http://www.startribune.com/sports/olympics/163922526.html

Also, methinks anyone near the Olympics should probably be cautious, as dajooz ain't gonna let their displeasure go unnoticed.

LONDON - A minute of silence carved out of a three-hour opening ceremony is not too much to ask. It works out to little more than five seconds for each victim. Besides, the widows and families of the Israeli athletes murdered by Palestinian gunmen at the 1972 Munich Games have been waiting for 40 years.


International Olympic Committee boss Jacques Rogge, who competed as a yachtsman for Belgium that summer, gave them little hope it would happen in the next 40 years, or ever. Yet he and his IOC swells had no problem observing that exact same minute of silence for a Georgian luger killed in a crash just hours before the opening ceremony at the 2010 Vancouver Games.



Was anyone able to force themselves to continue reading beyond this point?

"My husband was murdered on Olympic soil," Ilana Romano said.

WTFF is "Olympic soil"??

If not, you should... it's full of comedy gold...



At a news conference afterward, they ticked off the reasons given each time their request for a moment of silence was denied: the threat of a boycott by Arab nations; a refusal to inject politics into the games; wrong time, wrong place. Always something or other wrong.
Spitzer believes those are all code for the real answer. "They came from the wrong country," she said, "and the wrong religion."



Since then, kicking Israel around has practically become a sport unto itself.

LOL

Their self-importance and arrogance have no bounds. The Olympics are a celebration of life and youth, of the best the human race has to offer. But the Jews don't care if their demand for world guilt should cast a pall and destroy another venerable institution. As long as they are the center of world attention and fanning the flames of Jewish victimhood guilt, no price is too high. Appropriateness of venue does not apply to the Jews; after all, they are God's chosen...or so they say.

Here's some wisdom I read somewhere, I think it applies here....I think it might be their MO



This Universe has one basic rule: What you pay attention to, you become conscious of and thereby become.

And there is only one true exercise of what is called “Free Will.” That one exercise is your choice of what to pay attention to.

I never dug much into the Munich/izzy thing, but isn't there some buzz that it was just another mossad false flag, blaming/vilifying the Pali's?

Speilberg's "Munich" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408306/) propagandizing the official story (of poor picked-on Izzy's perennial victimhood) would seem to reinforce its bullshittyness.


Based on the true story :D of the Black September aftermath, about the five men chosen to eliminate the ones responsible for that fateful day.

A team of five gathers in Switzerland led by Avner, a low-level Mossad techie whose father was a war hero and whose wife is pregnant. It's an expendable team, but relying on paid informants, they track and kill several in Europe and Lebanon. They must constantly look over their shoulders for the CIA, KGB, PLO, and their own sources. As the body count mounts -- with retribution following retribution -- so do questions, doubts, and sleepless nights. Loyalties blur. What does it mean to be a Jew?

Is there a good one-stop-shop website or something which makes the case it was a mossad op?

I was too young to worry about it when it happened, but know that I know how Izzy works, why would I believe the official story even after all these years?

Need to see if there was that Jewish holiday in 1972 for starters..

Will they will get their "pound of flesh' via a FF event?

[Serpo]

If they asked for 10years of silence everyone would agree then.......Israel silent for 10yrs......haha

[joboo]

If they want silence, hire Octomom to work the stage.

Hoh boy!

[AndreaGail]

well they got their damn wish, in a round about sort of way


Raisman single-handedly did what the International Olympic Committee refused to do: invoked the memory of the 11 Israeli athletes murdered at the 1972 Summer Games.

Olympic officials have refused to even to consider a simple moment of silence at the opening ceremony or at another point in the 2012 London Olympics for the Israelis killed by terrorists 40 years ago in Munich, Germany.

Aly Raisman, who won the gold medal yesterday in the women’s individual floor exercise at the London Olympics to the tune of the Hebrew folk song “Hava Nagila,” paid tribute to their memory, however.

Here’s what Aly Raisman had to say about the Israeli athletes murdered 40 years ago according to the New York Post:


“Having that floor music wasn’t intentional,” an emotional but poised Raisman told reporters after her performance.

“But the fact it was on the 40th anniversary is special, and winning the gold today means a lot to me.”


If there had been a moment’s silence,” the 18-year-old woman told the world, “I would have supported it and respected it.”

The Post adds that Raisman deserves a lot of credit for addressing a subject that Olympic officials tired to squash:


“Raisman finished first in the women’s floor exercise, but she deserves to have another medal draped around her neck for having the chutzpah to face the world and do what needed to be done and say what needed to be said …”

“Were it not for young Aly and her wedding dance/bat mitzvah accompaniment, the Munich dead may have never gotten their due.”

As The Inquisitr has previously reported, the history-making performance by Aly Raisman, of Needham, Mass :D., gives the U.S. a first-ever gold medal in the woman’s individual floor exercise. Raisman also won gold in London as a member of the women’s gymnastic team–the first top Olympic finish in that event for the U.S. since 1996.

maybe they'll have an event where Israel can for sure win a gold medal, e.g. building a concentration camp in the desert.
