Bob Costas to Honor Slain Israeli Athletes
July 19, 2012 14:00 by Alex Margolin
Former US President George W. Bush speaks with Bob Costas of NBC Sports during an interview while attending the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing.
The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) immoral decision to reject calls for a moment of silence for Israeli’s athletes murdered at the 1972 Munich games will not go unnoticed.
Sportcaster Bob Costas told the Hollywood Reporter this week that he had his own plans for a tribute to the athletes as part of his duties covering the Olympics for NBC Sports.
At the July 27 Opening Ceremony from London, Costas plans to call out the IOC for denying Israel’s request for a moment of silence acknowledging the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches at the 1972 Games. On the 40th anniversary of Munich, it’s a decision he finds “baffling.” When the Israeli delegation enters the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium, Costas will stage his own protest: “I intend to note that the IOC denied the request,” he says, modulating his voice as if he were on the air. “Many people find that denial more than puzzling but insensitive. Here’s a minute of silence right now.”
An IOC-backed moment of remembrance is still the most appropriate way to mark the anniversary of the terrorist attack on Israel’s athletes. After all, it’s part of the Olympic history as much as any of the athletic events of that year. But if the IOC is turning a blind eye to its own legacy, having Bob Costas step in and rectify the issue in front of a massive audience of US Olympic watchers may well be the next best thing.
Who knows, maybe other members of the media will follow suit.

What you want to know Mark, is written all over, how can a people
that have invented themselves be VICTIMS? The Arabs living in a
land not theirs ISRAEL, have been trying to possess the promised
land of the Jewish people for as long as their hate for the Jews
exists, say since Islam was created. This land has been Divinly
promised to Abraham, then re-affirmed to Isaac and Jacob who was
named ISRAEL by the angel sent by THE CREATOR.
Modern Israel, although the same as Old Israel, is run by leaders
Wanting peace therefore they were and are ready to share this
same land, but the Arabs always refused! So how can they be
VICTIMS, and how can anyone deduce that the Israelis are the
perpetrators? THE PALESTINIAN BLUFF IS A HOAX AND IT IS
ABOUT TIME TO REVEAL IT TO THE UNSUSPECTING WORLD
Well-loved. Agree or Disagree:

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
But just imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips,
this website could certainly be one of the
greatest in its field. Wonderful blog!

Otherwise you may feel frustration to play these games.
These originally were quartz crystals from the River Rhine in a region
noted for gem-cutting, particularly the town of Idar-Oberstein.
So, if the games above don’t whet your appetite, it’s not that
hard to find more – Tanzanite is one of the new exotic gemstones to come onto the market.
However, if you’d like to take the scenic route through Google Earth, the SR22 is a better choice. This game allows players to take on a whole different side of themselves and express their wild side, or even the business man lurking in each of us.

Hello! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I’m trying
to find a template or plugin that might
be able to resolve this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
Thank you!

I rarely write comments, however i did some searching and wound up here Bob Costas to Honor Slain
Israeli Athletes | HonestReporting. And I actually do have a couple of questions for
you if you do not mind. Could it be just me or does it give the impression like a few of the comments
look like coming from brain dead individuals?
And, if you are writing on additional places, I’d like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of every one of all your social sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
