Disgraceful Olympics
This Olympic Committee website is very revealing for what is lists and what it doesn't. Click on the flag bearers and lo! a non existent country called Palestine marched with its flag.а Isn't that the non existent country under whose name Olympic athletes were slaughtered 32 years ago in the Olympic village?а What was the IOC's response then?а Does allowing this flag and its delegation indicate the IOC approves of these actions?

And while there is a notice of a hearing on the alleged doping of Greek Olympians there is no mention of a hearing on the Iranian Olympic delegation after its judo entrant refused to compete against an Israeli. Does this mean the Olympic Committee approves?а
