Not surprising given the British Left's hatred of Jews. Joe Stalin would have been happy to see the opening ceremony.
(USA Today) -- 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.
