Five political comments on London Olympics' opening ceremony

That 50,000 a head fund raiser for Romney at the King David hotel, is that the same hotel that Irgun bombed killing 91 people. If so, does Romney know, and should they hold a minutes silence.

Too many people in our world know about Israel's war crimes, so all the whining to ensure selective compassion will not work. Israel cannot hide it's crimes and it behooves it to move on and try to make amends to the millions of human beings it occupies and steals land and water from. Only then can this state hope to garner sympathy for past events.

Making it an issue of national interest, now you are frustrated of not having your way. And claiming it is just another against-the-Jews decision won't earn you sympathy, just the contrary

We are back in our beloved Jerusalem and if you low life Arabs want it back you'll have to fight us for it. We might go down but this time we WILL get our "pound of flesh" out of you.

the 1972 terrorist attack in Munich Olympics against the Israeli attlets participating in the Olympic Games. 11 Israelis were murdered by Palestinian terrorist organization the Black Septembe. This murder against of participants in Olympic Gamesr . Not only was this terror attack a calous crime in itself. It also violates the spirit of the Olympics.such as all conflict stop during Olympic games. The Greek adhered to thos rules during the games near Olympus Mountain. The International Olympic committee is a sad case of hypicricy and yes antisemtism. Had a Jewsih or Israeli underground organization such as KACH or the freedom fighting IRGUN, ETZEL, PALMACH, Hagana committ a murder during Olympic Games in 1948 there would by a firerce worldwide reaction and UN wouldn't dare to accept Israel rebirth. The world is bent on hypocricy and anti Jewish to the tillt. Very Shamefull and cowardlydecision by IOC not to allow 1 minute of silence to commemorate the murder of Israeli athletes in Munich Olympics.

The NBC commentators mentioned every delegation by name (except one) and offered some anecdotes about many, including Israel. When the Palestinians were announced by the arena system the NBC commentators kept silent, not even uttering a word until the next group entered the arena. The American media is much like the American government in this regard. They suffer from undue Jewish influence and have not the backbone to make their own decisions. This obviously gives them credibility problems.

Perhaps Israel should be rebranded as the land of sour-grapes and vitriol.

You write "Macedonia had the clunky title of "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia," to assuage its Serbian neighbors." Wrong! It is Greece that would protest if FYRM were called simply Macedonia.
