"He was given a choice between war and dishonor. He chose dishonor and he will have war anyway."

~Winston Churchill on Neville Chamberlain

Well, it's official...International Olympic Committee  President, Jacques Rogge, once again refuses to allow a minute's silence for the 11 Israeli victims of the 1972 Munich massacre, on its 40th anniversary, at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.

He falls to the dung heap of history with other dangerous weenies like Chamberlain...and every political Kapo that has emerged from the bottom of the cesspool.

Why would the IOC refuse to allow a moment of silence for these innocent athletes murdered by terrorist thugs? And why would they rationalize the request to be political rather than a sign of respect for the memory of the slaughtered?

Rogge may have let the keffiah-clad cat out of the bag...

An increased amount of funding for the IOC, in recent years, appears to have come from oil-rich gulf states, according to the European Jewish Press. And even Rogge himself said his hands were tied by admission of 46 Arab and Muslim members to the IOC. 

I guess when you're the IOC: Good is evil and evil is good. 

Integrity and honor are fading values on the world stage. Few world leaders...including our own...possess and ounce of virtue. They are not led by righteous convictions, but rather by convenience, greed, hate and vainglory. 

And in the case of the IOC...pandering with a stench that can only be described as the effluvium of the evil.

I'm recognizing some of the righteous here, that can still be found in the public eye...that have decided: Good trumps evil. That list includes the following countries: Israel, Canada, the UK, Australia, the US, Belgium and Germany. And add to that list NBC Sports anchor Bob Costas, who said he plans his own on-air memorial for the Israeli athletes killed in Munich. And 140 Italian parliamentarians, who signed a letter to Rogge this week, calling for a minute’s silence to be instituted .

The few that are the possessors of honor are still being heard in the world today...they just don't happen to be a part of the IOC.

Shalom through strength...

Last week's terror attack in Burgas, Bulgaria was the first successful terror attack in 2 years against Israelis/Jews abroad, according to Israeli Intel reports. Iran, and its proxy Hezbollah, have attempted to attack Israeli and Jewish targets in more than 20 countries in that time period. 

But there's more confirmation by the NYC Police Dept. 

They state that Iranian Revolutionary Guards (Quds Force) or Iran's other proxies (Hezbollah) have been involved so far this year in 9 plots against Israeli/Jewish targets throughout the world: Three in January, 3 in February and 3 since June. 

Yet, amazingly, once again the EU has turned down a request by Israel to blacklist Hezbollah as a terror group. Cypriot Foreign Minister Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis, whose country currently holds the rotating EU presidency, stated: "There is no consensus for putting Hezbollah on the list of terrorist organisations."

I mentioned that this wasn't the first time they refused to label Hezbollah a terrorist organization...on March 10, 2005, despite the fact that the European Parliament overwhelmingly passed a resolution stating: "Parliament considers that clear evidence exists of terrorist activities by Hezbollah The (EU) Council should take all necessary steps to curtail them."

The EU's response: 'Nah ah'...

Let's not forget Hezbollah's 43 successful terror attacks since 1982...including:

• The 1983 bombings at the U.S. Embassy and the Marine barracks in Beirut, which killed 241 Marines.

• The 1985 hijacking of TWA flight 847, during which a U.S. Navy diver was killed.

• The 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 American servicemen.

Kozakou-Marcoullis said Hezbollah was an group comprising a party in addition to an armed wing and was "active in Lebanese politics."

Does she have a history book?

She continued, "Taking into account this and other aspects there is no consensus for putting Hezbollah on the list of terrorist organizations."

So...ignoring history, which in and of itself should be sufficient...Kozakou-Marcoullis feels that all their activities and stated intentions are not enough to list them as a terrorist group. 

Well then...how much proof is enough proof? Or is that number infinite? 

With the empirical evidence for all to see...perhaps we should check a look at Ms. Kozakou-Marcoullis' bank account.

Perhaps there's enough found in there.

The Summer Olympics are almost upon us...and the competition is something Americans used to look forward to with great anticipation. That is until the Elitists/Hate-America gang had their way. But, despite the 'global citizen' mentality of some...national pride still rules...

Now, since this year's Olympics are being held in the UK, the BBC listed country profiles of all of the competing nations....including each country's capital...with two anomalies:

1) One wanna-be state with someone else's capital listed as their own.

2) That someone else nation...without a capital listed.

Simple typo? Not likely...That wanna-be nation? Palestine. The nation sans their capital? Israel.

But surely the BBC could have made a mistake, right? Well, if one takes into consideration their anti-Semitic leanings over time...that's not likely.

The BBC listed Israel sans a capital (despite the fact that Jerusalem has been their capital for 3,000). And listed the  capital of 'Palestine' as East Jerusalem? So, without careful consideration and realizing that doing so could cause problems...King BBC declares East Jerusalem as belonging to Palestine. 

Has the BBC gone the way of the Old Grey Lady, who also doesn't give a flippity-do-da about truth?

Apparently...because following a protest from Israelis and their supporters and a letter from Mark Regev (Foreign Press and Public Affairs Advisor), the BBC amended the entry to read: “Palestine is recognised as a competing country by the IOC but is not recognised as a modern state.”

In lieu of a Capital for Palestine, it reads: “Intended seat of government,” which states: “East Jerusalem. Ramallah serves as administrative capital.”

Oh, and Israel's profile, still has NO capital city listed. Instead, the BBC has misrepresented the issue by including a “Seat of government,” which states: “Jerusalem, though most foreign embassies are in Tel Aviv.”

So you may ask: What's the big whoop? The setup to the hatred that led to the Holocaust began piecemeal. You first must delegitimize, then dehumanize, then demonize...then destroy.

Because it's so much easier to kill millions when the general population considers them to be bupkis.

When most in the West hear about Judea and Samaria (aka West Bank), they are not provided any facts concerning the area, so they are open to believe whatever is fed to them via the MSM. But a recent report has now cleared the confusion up with facts on the ground.

The Levy Report (Report on the Status of Building in Judea and Samaria), authored by former Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levy, states that the classical laws of occupation "as set out in the relevant international conventions cannot be considered applicable to the unique and sui generis historic and legal circumstances of Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria spanning over decades", and that the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention against the transfer of populations does not apply to the Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank. 

The Report concludes: 

"Israelis have the legal right to settle in Judea and Samaria and the establishment of settlements cannot, in and of itself, be considered illegal."

As both former Presidents Adams and Reagan said: "Facts are stubborn things,"

Plain and simple: Jordan illegally annexed Judea and Samaria, attacked Israel...Israel won and took the land as the booty of war. 

ALL legal. Which means Israel's presence: ALL legal. Israeli settlement outposts: ALL legal.

The only occupiers are the so-called palestinians. Judea and Samaria is actually...JUDEA and SAMARIA, NOT the West Bank.

Facts are stubborn things. According to the facts, Israel should adopt the Levy Report, continue to build in Judea and Samaria...and stop referring to their presence there are 'occupation'. 

Though it will be politically risky to adopt the report, my hopes are that Israel will take the risk...because truth is on their side...and so are their friends.

So, the US Treasury Dept. has pronounced new financial sanctions against 11 companies associated with the Iranian defense ministry, Revolutionary Guard Corps and national shipping line as well as a university, all for actions they took to support the programs. Several of the firms are already subject to US and European sanctions.

More sanctions to the interminable list that has accomplished...bupkis...nothing...toward the desired end: The halting of Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Oh, it has helped contribute to their current economic status and the 40% of its population living below the poverty level. But persuading them to stop moving toward their nuclear dreams? 

Not one bit...

Well, why not? Because these are not reasonable people. They don't think as we do in the West. They don't have the same values as we do in the West, and therefore should not be approached as such.

Yet, those in the West continue to use the useless regarding this critical problem.  While the Mullahs are singing their own version of the Supremes' hit concerning their goal: 

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no sanction strong enough
To keep me from you

They are religious zealots. They are on a mission for their god. And nothing will deter them from that duty. The Islamic rulers of Iran, since the Iranian Revolution in '79, have believed they were given a mission by their god to pave the way for the appearance of the last messiah, the Shiite's 12th Imam Mahdi.

So how does this fit into their nuclear goals? Perfectly. Because war, chaos, and lawlessness must engulf the world in order to pave the way for Imam Mahdi’s return.

So, try in vain as they do: Sanctions, Schmanctions...Iran will continue till they hit the mother load.
