Today is the 40th anniversary of the Israel wrestling teams assassination during the 1972 Summer Olympic Games in Munich, Germany.
The Israeli government has requested that at every Olympic Opening Ceremony there should be a moment of silence dedicated to their athletes that lost their lives at the hands of a group of Palestinian Terrorists. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) have denied this request, stating that the opening ceremony is a moment of great jubilance, and that they do not want to add a somber tie to the moment.
What are your thoughts? Do you agree or disagree with the IOCs decision to deny request for mourning over the athletes who lost their lives?
