Muslim countries blocked Olympic committee from honoring Israeli athletes murdered in jihad attack at 1972 Olympics

Islamic antisemitism, based on the Qur'an's designation of the Jews as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82), shows its ugly face at the London Olympics -- with a little help from dhimmi officials. "Muslims Barred IOC from Honoring Murdered Israelis," by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu for Israel National News, July 17 (thanks to Simone):

An Olympics official admitted that Muslim countries blocked the "One-Minute of Silence" campaign to honor the 11 murdered Israeli athletes, one of the widows said.

Ankie Spitzer, whose husband Andre was one of the athletes massacred in the Munich Games n 1972, told the European Jewish Press that Jacques Rogge, president of the London Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games, told her that his “hands were tied” by the admission of 46 Arab and Muslim members to the International Olympic Committee.

She replied, “My husband’s hands were tied, not yours.”...

Spitzer called the Olympics “a corrupt organization, led by greed rather than the Olympic spirit. She added, “The IOC’s refusal is pure discrimination – greed and anti-Semitism.”

Indeed.

Once again, the wilfully blind refuse to see.
Never, ever would any decent human being block such a thing. Even during World War 2, we would never have blocked the enemy's chance to respect their dead. Why would Muslims want to do such a thing, if they were nothing less than heartless inhuman demons? More so, why would the IOC go along with such a thing? Does this not tell the Left what Muslims are really like and what their disgusting religion is really all about? Yes, of course it does, but as usual eyes are firmly shut and ears are firmly closed!

I am disgusted. I signed the petition. By refusing the one-minute of silence, it sends a real encouraging message to the savages.

Isa, where did you find the petition? Can you provide a link?

Thanks.

If they should suffer loss or setback because of their malice, they will have no solace from a Just and True God.

There should be spontaneous observance of this tragic anniversary. Heart-rending to think it would be otherwise.

Didn't Jesus of Nazareth say, "I piped a tune and you did not dance; I played a dirge and you would not mourn"?

After days of tense negotiations that ran nearly a day behind schedule, Rached Ghannouchi has been chosen again to lead Tunisia’s ruling Islamist party Ennahdha.

If we didn't live in an upside-down bizarro world, where gay- and women's-rights protector Israel is seen as a "terrorist" state and black-cube-worshipping nazis are seen as "brave resistance fighters", the IOC wouldn't give a damn what its OIC members said or thought... And it's not like a mahoundian walk-out from the observance of that minute of silence, or from the games themselves should be a cause for concern to anyone, except the likes of Catherine "if ugliness were bricks, she'd be the Great Wall of China" Ashton and Buraq Hussein Obama. Besides, athletes from mahoundian countries are mediocre at best, and their mediocrity will be made even worse this year while they're dehydrating and starving themselves for mahound/allah during their gluttony-after-dawn unholy month.

So, yeah, why would anyone in a sane world care at all what these inbred bedouin savages might think about a minute of silence for victims of THEIR VERY OWN, Mein-Qurampf prescribed savagery?

...........................................

This is not just garden-variety antisemitism—appalling as that is.

It is not as though these Israeli athletes had died in an accidental plane crash or something—instead, they were *murdered* in an elaborate Jihad attack by these Muslim countries' own vicious coreligionists.

I am just sickened that the Olympic Committee bowed to this.

Isabella, thanks for the link to the petition—and CGW, thanks for the head's up. I just signed.

Ankie Spitzer is a brave woman—and she has waited long enough.


Besides, athletes from mahoundian countries are mediocre at best, and their mediocrity will be made even worse this year while they're dehydrating and starving themselves for mahound/allah during their gluttony-after-dawn unholy month.

Hate to disappoint you racist they can drink and eat in the day time they can make up the days miss latter on. Islam is than well thought out religion.

What infuriates me is the fact that the portal Yahoo is featuring an article about a female athlete who (the poor little thing) is struggling between her religion (the Ramadan thing) and competing for the Olympics. Why Yahoo is giving a tribune to someone from a certain ideology in the first place? Since the article is a "fait accompli" why not featuring an article on Ankie Spitzer who is only peacefully asking for 1 minute of silence so we, the whole world, remember some athletes from Israel who were in Munich in 1972 to live the Olympic experience, but instead got butchered by terrorists? It is so unfair, so unfair.

IneptDefenderOfIslam, Islam is not a race but rather a religion. Use a more appropriate word. Also - your claim about making up the days missed later on is suspect...

"Sawm (صوم‎) is the Arabic word which refers to Islamic fasting. The observance of sawm during the Islamic month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and therefore a compulsory (fard) duty.

The salient features of Islamic fasting are:

For 30 days every lunar year (during the month of Ramadan), waking up before dawn and eating and drinking to prepare for the fast
Refraining from eating, drinking, smoking, and engaging in sexual intercourse from dawn (fajr) to sunset (maghrib).
Breaking the fast at sunset and again eating and drinking to prepare for the day ahead. "

Each of the freedom loving countries should be outraged...Shame on them if they are not....

Maybe Muslim countries should be banned from Olympic participation...

Which race is mahoundianism again, inbred bedouin nazi?

"Islam is than well thought out religion."

Well, that explains why Muslim are dehydrating and starving themselves....

That also explains why they had to come up with that "Mecca-time" fast-breaking crap for their brethren living on welfare checks in Scandinavia, doesn't it?

If mahound's imaginary alter-ego allah really knew everything, as mahoundians claim it (not he) does, the long days when the sun never sets over parts of Norway and Sweden would have made it not invent ramadandingdong. After all, a true mahoundian really observing the fasting and dehydration madness required of them once a year would have to starve themselves to death in those parts of the globe if they hadn't come up with that sort of flexibility for an otherwise inflexible set of rules meant to keep their minds in the 7th Century.

Make-up days, Defender? What do you think this is, than Romper Room? Than Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood? Come on, Defender, man-up, get with the program; this is than ISLAM, baby! There ain't no fun in than islam--and there ain't no make-up days...

Apologies for double-post. First I got nothing, then I got 2. I blame Mohammad for this...

What "race" is Islam again?

And the fact is that the Muslim world, with very few exceptions, has always performed abysmally not only in the Olympics, but in other global sporting events such as the World Cup.

This has been true whether or not Ramadan falls during the contest.

Far more salient than any of the above, though, is this: do you believe that Islam was "than well thought out religion" when your vicious fellow Muslims *murdered eleven Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics*?

Do you believe that homicidal hatred of Jews is a "well thought out" part of your baleful religion?

Signed. Thanks for the link. Nice to see so many signatures.

Ima

I definitely signed the petition. Thanks for the Links Isabella and Tom D.

Hey Tom D. - If they are allowed to eat early in the morning and late at night, they're not really fasting are they? more weaselly behavior.....

George, thanks for mentioning Romper Room... :-D :-D That gave me a good laugh.

A friend of mine sent this email to Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary of the UK Parliament:

"Dear Mr Hunt

I read a very moving on line article by Gerald Seymour in the Evening Standard about the murders of the 11 Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games in Munich in 1972. At least Gerald Seymour had the decency to bring it into the public domain. The media in the UK have not even acknowledged its significance.


I was in Israel at the time and even now, forty years later, the pain still comes when I remember.

The fact that Israel had no intention of bringing politics into the Munich Olympics makes it even more imperative to highlight the disgraceful behaviour of the International Olympic Committee in refusing to acknowledge this important anniversary, by asking for a minute of respectful silence in memory of the cream of Israel’s athletes at the London Games - and your equally disgraceful behaviour, Mr Hunt, for refusing to put pressure on them to do so. Their excuse was that if they did so, it would “politicise” the Olympics. Yours was that it was not your business.

Please read Mr Seymour’s article – here is the link:

http://www.standard.co.uk/olympics/olympic-news/the-horrific-legacy-of-munich-72-i-was-there-the-day-palestinian-terrorists-kidnapped-and-killed-11-israeli-athletes-7924074.html

I hope it shames you."

Signed the petition.
I hope Ankie Spitzer demands one minute silence at the ending ceremony and it is observed without any reservations.
Shame on Jacques Rogge for cowing down to demands of muslims.
No decent person would refuse such a thing.

Re the petition.

Both the Australian PM and the Leader of the Opposition signed it.

And the Australian Parliament unanimously moved a motion in support of the call for a minute's silence.
