The definition of mean spirited?

I was going to post the video of Boris Johnson shaking his bootie along to the Spice Girls at last night's Olympics Closing Ceremony but all the video now shows is this
Oh nice one IOC, just when I think I couldn't despise you anymore, you do this.

Commemorating the Olympic dead

Since the IOC are refusing to commemorate the 11 Israeli athletes, and one West German policeman, who were murdered by the Palestinian terrorist group Black September at the 1972 Munich Olympics, others are preparing to do so. I hear that an the NBC sports host, Bob Costas plans to report the IOC's decision and then announce his silence for one minute when the Israeli team enter the stadium during the opening ceremony on Friday. I have also read the suggestion that the Israeli team enter the stadium and then pause their march for one minute during the opening ceremony.

The IOC's decision to bow down to the will of the Muslim bloc is disgusting, albeit not surprising. If the IOC will not officially remember those members of the 'Olympic family' who were murdered 40 years ago, then unofficial action should be taken. Friday 27 July could be interesting...

If the Israeli team do stop for one minute I wonder what the teams following them into the stadium will do. I presume that the Muslim TV stations covering the Olympic opening ceremony will cut their transmissions rather than have to explain what is happening and why.

Because Israel and Jews are an insignificant minority

At the 1972 Munich Olympics 11 Israeli athletes, and one West German policeman) were murdered by the Palestinian terrorist group Black September. 40 years on there is a campaign to hold one minutes silence for the innocent victims of a terrorist attack on the Olympics. Since the 2012 Olympics will last 17 days (around 24,460 minutes) surely one minute to remember the 11 members of the Olympic family who were killed would be simple and fair to arrange? You'd have thought so but then you have to factor in the hatred for Israel and Jews that exists in so many Islamic countries.

Ankie Spitzer, whose husband Andre was one of the athletes killed during that 1968 Munich Olympics terrorist massacre has told the European Jewish Press that Jacques Rogge, president of the IOC, told her that his "hands were tied" by the 46 Arab and Muslim members to the International Olympic Committee. Ankie Spitzer replied that "My husband’s hands were tied, not yours." Ankie Spitzer called the Olympics "a corrupt organization, led by greed rather than the Olympic spirit." She added that "The IOC’s refusal is pure discrimination – greed and anti-Semitism."

I don't believe the IOC is anti-Semitic but a large number of its member states are, enough to block any commemoration of the Olympic dead. This anti-Israel bloc is not restricted to the IOC and helps to explain why the United Nations and its subsidiary bodies are so obsessed with the alleged misdeeds of Israel whilst ignoring the factual and bigger crimes against humanity committed elsewhere, often by Islamic states.

Are the Chinese at it again (update)

Earlier this week I blogged about the questions being asked about the true age of He Kexin. Now Fox News report that:
"A determined U.S. computer expert has delved into cached pages on the Internet to unearth Chinese official documents showing a gymnast who took gold in the uneven bars competition, edging the U.S.'s Nastia Liukin, may indeed be underage."
Read the whole article and ask yourself if you really believe that the Chinese authorities would have produced a fake passport just so gold medals could be won...Hmmm, that was an easy one wasn't it? Now ask yourself if the IOC will take action or roll over and have its collective tummy tickled.... Hmmm, that was also pretty easy wasn't it?
