		<description><![CDATA[Why the games' refusal to grant a moment of silence for the Munich Massacre signals weakness in the face of hate.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/britain-london-2012-olympics.jpeg4-460x307.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-137868" title="britain-london-2012-olympics.jpeg4-460x307" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/britain-london-2012-olympics.jpeg4-460x307.gif" alt="" width="375" height="250" /></a>Recently it was announced that Great Britain’s secretary of state for culture, media and sport, Jeremy Hunt, will not join the international campaign for a moment of silence for the 11 Israeli athletes murdered at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games.</p>
<p>There have been calls for a moment of silence from around the world. More than fifty members of the British Parliament have signed a motion. The effort is backed by the German Bundestag, about 100 Australian members of Parliament including the Prime Minister and the opposition leader, the Canadian Parliament and the US Senate both unanimously passed resolutions calling for a moment of silence.</p>
<p>The International Olympic Committee has dropped the ball by its decision not to hold a moment of silence at the Olympic Games.</p>
<p>It’s about much more than a moment of silence. It should be obvious that the murder of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, at an event that is suppose to represent global competition in the spirit of sporting events, must never be forgotten.</p>
<p>Ankie Spitzer, the widow of murdered fencer Andrei Spitzer, had been reluctant to level any accusations against the IOC, but following its most recent refusals to grant a moment of silence, she has leveled the charge of discrimination. She noted that two years ago at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, luge track slider Nodar Kumaritashvili died in a training accident and that there was a moment of silence at the opening of the Olympic Games, as well as speeches and condolences sent. “What’s the problem?” she asked the London Jewish Chronicle. &#8220;Is it because the Munich athletes were Israelis and Jews? I can only come to that conclusion.” Ms. Spitzer also stated that for many years the IOC has told her that the Arab nations would object to a memorial event.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Famous Israeli rescue mission stands as a model of victory.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/1475122189.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-136595 alignleft" title="1475122189" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/1475122189.gif" alt="" width="375" height="254" /></a>It took Israeli commandos minutes to conduct one of the greatest and most daring rescue missions in modern history, in Entebbe, Uganda, on July 4, 1976.</p>
<p>During those brief fateful moments, good triumphed over evil; the innocent were saved and the terrorists who threatened them were routed.</p>
<p>It was 11:30 pm Saturday night, June 27, 1976. The seventh night that over 100 Israelis, non-Israeli Jews, and the twelve-member Air France crew were held in the Entebbe airport since PFLP (Popular Front Liberation Palestine) terrorists and two West German supporters, hijacked the jet, Air France flight 139, while on the ground during a stopover in Athens as it was bound from Tel Aviv to Paris. The Ugandan regime under Idi Amin Dada supported the terrorists and gave them cover.</p>
<p>The flight was diverted to Benghazi airport in Libya for refueling and then headed for Entebbe.</p>
<p>The final deadline to meet the hijackers&#8217; demands to release forty terrorists held in Israel and thirteen in West Germany, Switzerland, France and Kenya, was steadily approaching. Negotiations managed to postpone the approaching July 1 deadline for three days. On July 1, the non-Jewish passengers were released by the terrorists. The Air France crew chose to stay with the remaining hostages. On July 3, French diplomats involved in the negotiations had stated that there was no hope for an agreement.</p>
<p>Releasing the terrorists would embolden them and their sponsors to continue such operations. Not meeting the terrorists&#8217; demands could result in a massacre.</p>
<p>As international attention was focused upon the events, the Israeli Cabinet covertly decided to give the green light to ‘Operation Thunderbolt’ to rescue the hostages. Four Israeli Hercules transport planes filled with Israel&#8217;s elite Sayeret Matkal commandos, along with medical teams, made their way to Uganda flying under radar over the Red Sea, in order to avoid detection by Egyptians and Saudis. By 11:30 PM, the planes had just landed at the surprisingly well-lit Entebbe airport without suspicion.</p>
<p>The weary hostages were sound asleep except for five who were playing bridge. The hijackers, eight in total, were also within the complex. There were also about eighty Ugandan troops around the airport.</p>
<p>The commandos drove toward the terminal in a Black Mercedes with Land Rover escorts, deceiving Ugandan guards to believe that Idi Amin was visiting. Two guards soon approached the vehicles and were shot, the ruse was now over. Time was of the essence. A few seconds delay could foil the entire operation. Taking a chance that the airport complex was not booby trapped, they headed toward the hostage compound. The commandos were just a few hundred yards away, then they burst in alerting the stunned hostages that they were Israelis and to stay down.</p>
<p>In the ensuing moments, there were bursts of gunfire within the terminal, and then it ended.</p>
<p>Nearby, eleven parked Soviet-made MIGS were destroyed, preventing pursuit of the Israeli aircraft.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A shareholder meeting over Israel's "mistreatment" of Christians elicits a strong response from supporters of the Jewish State.  ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/60minutes-01.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-135256" title="60minutes-01" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/60minutes-01.gif" alt="" width="375" height="265" /></a>It does not take sixty minutes but a mere few moments to level a smear against an entire nation. The recent CBS 60 Minutes program on Israel&#8217;s alleged mistreatment of Christians was nothing less than a version of a modern day blood libel against the Jewish State. Program host Bob Simon even described Israel’s security fence as &#8220;completely surrounding&#8221; Bethlehem, which is simply false.</p>
<p>The program ignored the real facts and the realities, as well as the many testimonies of Muslim persecution against Christians in the PA territories. A letter by CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) director Andrea Levin to Jeffrey B. Fager, chairman of CBS News, quoted one such testimony by Fr. Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the guardian of the Roman Catholic Church’s property in the Holy Land, which appeared in the <em>New York Sun</em> in 2005: “Almost every day &#8212; I repeat, almost every day &#8212; our communities are harassed by the Islamic extremists in these regions. And if it’s not the members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad, there are clashes with…the Palestinian Authority.”</p>
<p>It is truly unfortunate in light of the tragic persecution of Christians in so many Islamic nations that 60 Minutes conjured up a spurious account in order to malign Israel, while disregarding those whose stories truly need to be told.</p>
<p>One must appreciate the efforts of the organization CAMERA and others like it that refuted the tendentious reporting by Simon.</p>
<p>On May 24, at a CBS shareholders meeting board members of CAMERA were in attendance to respond to the charges leveled in the program. A letter by Andrea Levin, which was distributed just prior to the meeting, expressed the organization’s goals: “Although we have attempted through Mr. Radcliffe to elicit corrections for a number of material errors and omissions, our efforts have been unsuccessful. These factual shortcomings do need to be rectified and we are writing once more to urge that CBS adhere to the fundamental tenets of journalism that require news reporting to be accurate and fair and that instances of false reporting be fully and forthrightly corrected-on the air.”</p>
<p>When CBS called for a vote on the new directors, CAMERA board member Carol Greenwald arose and asked if CBS had a policy in line with standards of professional journalism which requires prompt corrections of factual issues. Another CAMERA board member, Richard Allen, then asked if CBS had taken into account the impact on earnings if CBS News lost the confidence of the public as an institution devoted to accurate and balanced reporting.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bob-turner-new-york-special-election.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-129749" title="bob-turner-new-york-special-election" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bob-turner-new-york-special-election.gif" alt="" width="375" height="259" /></a>Despite torrential rain, hundreds of New Yorkers turned out for a Yom Hashoah vigil at the Iranian UN Mission, on Sunday April 22, to express their concerns over Iran’s nuclear weapons program and its sponsorship of global terror. They were joined by three members of the US House of Representatives and three members of the New York State Assembly, along with some local community leaders.</p>
<p>The event was organized by the Yom Hashoah Mobilization Committee, led by Lynne and Nessim Tammam and assisted by Dr. Paul Brody and Jeff Wiesenfeld, and was supported by organizations which include the National Council of Young Israel, the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), NY Association of Holocaust Survivors, Friends of Ateret Cohanim/Jerusalem Chai, and Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI).</p>
<p>Some New York Association Holocaust Survivors members wore Yellow Stars of David to commemorate the stars they were forced to wear under Nazi occupation. Association leader Fira Stuckelman recalled the horrors that occurred during the Nazi Holocaust. She stated that she is one of the few survivors from a large family and declared that “we must not remain silent, never again.”</p>
<p>According to Pastor James David Manning of the ATLAH World Missionary Church in Harlem there is a growing anti-Semitism not just from Iran, but among peoples of all colors and races. That must be met with a response. Manning warned that “Nations and peoples are turning their backs on you.” He then pledged, “I will lift up my voice.”</p>
<p>&#8220;Seventy years ago, when Hitler said he would wipe the Jews off the face of the earth, the threat was tragically dismissed as empty rhetoric,&#8221; Assemblyman Rory Lancman (D-Queens) said. &#8220;Today, when we hear Ahmedinejad echoing Hitler&#8217;s call for the destruction of Jews, we know that the threat is real, and we must be prepared to use our military power to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear capability and fulfilling their malicious and malevolent dream of a world that is <em>Judenfrei.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>While some of the speakers differed on the position of the Obama administration vis-à-vis preventing a nuclear Iran, they all agreed that Iran must not be allowed to posses nuclear weapons and that the threats leveled by the Iranian regime must be taken seriously.</p>
