The upcoming Olympics mark the anniversary of a very significant historical event, do you know what that is? 

Can’t recall?

How quickly we forget! How convenient to erase and re-write history as not to offend anyone? Well I will tell you!

The 2012 Olympics in London mark the 40th Anniversary of the “Munich Massacre“ which occured during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany. During the games, a Palestinian Terrorist group (Whose name I refuse to mention) did an unconscionable, cowardly Act of Hatred,  violently raiding the Israeli dorms, taking the athletes hostage for political reasons.  

The result was a Slaughter of Innocence: 11 Israeli Athletes and Coaches DEAD!!! 

Documentation has proven that the West German Government was tipped off to the terrorist plot, and failed to add extra security precautions. The Israeli Government had concerns regarding the lax security and wanted security beefed up, however the request was denied.  Neo-Nazi cells within Germany assisted the Palestinian terrorists. The Israel Government called on world leaders to condemn this vile assault, yet only one Middle Eastern country condemned the assault.

The Israeli Government, with support from Jewish and Christian communities around the world wanted to honor the fallen Athletes on the 40th year Anniversary of this massacre. They asked the 2012 Olympic Committee for just ”One Minute of Silence."

Request denied!!!

Just like 40 years ago when they asked for additional security.  Oh my, how the Olympics sold their soul, caving to the pressures of England’s Muslim problem. The Olympic committee is showing their Anti-Semitism, just as they did in 1972.

Palestine Authorities have said that any show of solidarity with the victims would constitute racism. “Sports are a bridge for love, communication and the spreading of peace between nations and should not be used for divisiveness and the spread of racism,” Palestinians are opposed to “Israel’s attempts to exploit the Olympic Games for propaganda purposes.”  

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?  They want to blame the Victims for being slaughtered?

I know it is vogue in modern universities to hate Jews and Christians, I know it is popular to blame Israel for the world’s problems. (Eventhough Muslims kill more Muslims than Infidels). I guess nothing has changed in 40 years? I have news for all you haters that hide behind ideology and so called intellect, I Will Never Forget!

In memory of the Innocent that were lost I honor you:

* Moshe Weinberg (Wrestling Coach)
* Yossef Romano (Weightlifter)
* Ze'ev Friedman (Weightlifter)
* David Berger (Weightlifter)
* Yakov Springer (Weightlifting Judge)

What should have been a fun evening at the movies turned into tragedy last night at a cinema outside of Denver, Colorado.  Just a few moments into the premeire of Dark Knight Rises, a 24 year-old burst through the emergency exit, unpinned a tear gas cannister, and proceeded to open fire on the confused crowd. 

All in all, 12 lives were lost, and nearly 60 others sustained injury after the gunman paraded up the aisles, unloading several rounds, seemingly at random into the crowd.  Several people were shot in the back as they attempted to flee, and some victims were as young as 3 months old.

The suspect, who used 4 firearms in the fatal shootings, had also booby-trapped his own apartment with some sort of homemade explosive and incindiary devices. He was apprehended in full riot gear in the theatre's parking lot, withour incident, but made a remark that he was "The Joker," refrencing the villian from the previous Batman film.

This act of cowardice came from the actions of a young man,  a University of Colorado medical student pursuing his Ph.D., with no prior criminal record.  However, this was clearly a troubled person, as his own mother had suspicion of her son's involvement. Upon being confronted by police, she claimed that "you have the right person." 

While we certainly do not know the motives for this outburst,  questions needs to be asked: What could have been done to prevent the victims actions?  What signs of trouble were overlooked?

While these questions are pondered, thoughts and prayers go out to all of the victims of this tragic and senseless tragedy.
