FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 49 YEARS, a moment of silence was held during the opening ceremony at the Tokyo Olympic Games for the 11 Israeli athletes murdered by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games
At first I though maybe the IOC had become less bigoted & hateful ... then I realized how ridiculous that was and that this must have been via the host Japan's Govt. that stepped up to the plate.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett praised the move.Quote
"Today, for the first time at the Olympic Games, there was an official commemoration for the massacre of the 11 members of the Israeli delegation to the Munich Olympics. I applaud this important historic moment," he said. "May their memories be a blessing."
Hard to believe this is a first.
