1. Remembering the Victims of Munich
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (07.20.12)
The IOC is made up of European elites who think their own bodily fragrances have no smell. They despise Israel as a country and possibly hate Jews. They have run their own countries into ruin but think they are smart enough to tell Israel and the world how to act. Acts of terror against their countries are met with appeasement. Under this dictum why would they ever memorialize and honor the Israeli victims of the Munich massacre, they were just a distraction to their egalitarianism.
2. denial more than puzzling?????
tiki ,   belgium   (07.20.12)
Not at all. It makes perfect sence. By remembering the murdered Israeli sporters at the hands of PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS, masterminded by überterrorist MAHMOOD ABBAS, todays moderate "president' of the palestinians", whoever they may be, will be remembered to, which is an absolute no-no in the political correct sport view of the IOC. "The ''Palestinians from then, are not the ""Palestinians of today". Today they are loving people, looking for peace, only hindered by those Israeli's, the 'black sheep of our peacefull, non political, non racist & absolutely not corrupt Olympic family Those murdered Israeli's after all, have only themselves to blame for belonging to a racist country which stole """Palestinian lands"""".
3. Let them deny it...this campaign has proven the point.
Israel ,   Israel   (07.21.12)
We have reached the perfect score point. So now we can easily say to the IOC "boil in your own juices fools!"
4. If there is a vote involved in an election cycle
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (07.21.12)
Obama becomes a media you know what. He's like a magnet to a voting box sucking in votes. After the election...he unplugs the vacuum cleaner and goes golfing. He won't remember a thing.
5. Of course he does
Dan ,   Auckland NZ   (07.22.12)
Pretty cynical exploitation of a human tragedy for the sake of pimping votes. Or at least that what would have been said about any of his Republican opponents. Hypocricy FTW!
