NEVER FORGET: The 1972 Munich Olympic Massacre

Jim McKay and his broadcasts from the Munich Olympics.

Never forget, nobody ever needed an excuse to kill Jews.  What is equally sickening to me, is that during the massacre other countries blamed Israel for ruining the Olympics.  And if you didn't know, the Olympic Committee has never officially recognized the murdered Israelis...even through a moment of silence.  I remember watching the Olympics in 1992 to see if there would be something said about the 20th anniversary...but no such luck.  If you think times have changed, you're wrong.  Like it or not, we are alone.

Watch the outstanding documentary, "One Day In September," about the Munich Olympics.

Salute To Israel Parade, NYC (1968)

Although this photo was taken a few years before I was born, I thought it would be great for my first post! (I just won this photo on ePay)

It is Erev Rosh Hasahna 5770. Yitzhak Rabin is a man I will always admire.  His bravery on the battlefield can never be questioned, and his bravery in Knesset is something that every politician should strive to duplicate.  Though his legacy will always be debated, I see him as a true hero - a man willing to risk everything for the sake of his people.
