A truly Jewish state wouldn’t be at the Olympics in the first place, but right now we don’t have that, so they should do this. And even if we did have one, and therefore we weren’t there, they should have a minute of silence anyway, because 40 years ago the Arabs attacked the Olympics and murdered Jews, so they ought to remember them; it shouldn’t make a difference whether there are any Jews there or not.

Wow “Loyal Jew” you are so religious and impressive. What have you added? Hating the athletes? Their families? Their memories? You mean you cannot be Jewish and excel at athletics? Why not? Do you mean achievement generally is not something to be admired? I guess you get it — and we dont.

A truly Jewish state doesn’t have “Olympic athletes” to begin with. Ha-yadayim yedei Eisov.

Forget it!! The people who run the olympics are cowards. Does anybody really expect a bunch of Europeans to stand up to Arabs???????? If the Europeans could be relied to to take a strong stand against terrorism, then the Munich incident would not have happened at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Olympic Community”???

There IS no Olympic Community! There are only individual countries trying to outdo each other in athletic competitions.

There is certainly NO ‘olympic community’ that cares one iota about Jews that were murdered 40 years ago. The fact that they rejected this one minute memorial is proof of that. Trying to force it upon them with some petition is pointless.

The important thing is that WE should remember, and that WE should learn something from it.

We ARE ‘Am l’vadad yishkon’ – a nation that dwells ALONE.
OUR ‘community’ consists of us and HaKadosh Baruch Hu. The sooner we realize that, the better off we will be.
