Why is giving a lousy one minutes silence such a big deal?
1) Because incase CV'S the Olympic committee upsets the delightful Arab nations who feel it was ok to kill Israeli sportsmen for no reason other than the fact they were Jewish
2) Obviously noone really cares- it is expected Jews and Israeli will be killed no matter what field they are in..

I honestly didn't even think about it until I read a few articles on the subject and now I think it is 100% the right thing to do.

The IOC are anti-Semites, plain and simple. Commemorating the death of Jews is "too political", but not the deaths of Bosnians (commemorated at the Atlanta 1996 games) nor the deaths of Americans on 9/11 (commemorated at the Salt Lake City 2002 games).

It is beyond belief that the IOC has refused to allow a minute of silence. They are reinforcing that spilling Jewish blood is insignificant. Luckily, Bob Costas ( well known sports announcer) who will be broadcasting has publicly denounced this behavior and he will tell the world what happened when he speaks at the opening of the Olympics.
