Olympics Reveals Prejudice Against Jewish Nation – Liberty Counsel Stands Beside Israel
WASHINGTON, DC -- The Obama Administration joined the British Broadcasting Association (BBC) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in demonstrating that injustice to the Jewish nation still exists today. Liberty Counsel asks Olympic Opening Ceremony viewers tonight [July 27, 2012] to join with Israeli widows in enacting a moment of silence.
In a press briefing yesterday, White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked what this Administration considers to be the capital of Israel, Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. Carney nervously laughed and evaded the question for nearly a minute. The Obama Press Secretary repeated, “Our position has not changed” and “You know our position,” but he refused to acknowledge that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel
Earlier this week, Liberty Counsel reported that the BBC Olympic website purposely omitted Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.Furthermore, the Olympic Committee has refused to acknowledge the 40th Anniversary of the Munich Massacre with a moment of silence during tonight’s Olympic Opening Ceremony. In 1972, 11 Israeli athletes were murdered by an Islamic Palestinian gunman. Moments of silence recognizing fallen Olympians are common, but not tonight.
“Just 70 years after the 6 million Jews were massacred in Europe, this week has shown that the stench of anti-Semitism still lingers in the air,” said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. “Israel is America’s best ally in the Middle East. America and Israel share common values. America stands with Israel. Liberty Counsel stands with Israel,” said Staver.
Liberty Counsel is asking the watching public to join two Israeli Olympian widows, Ankie Spitzer and Ilana Romano, who are asking us to stand for a moment of silence when International Olympic Committee Chief Jacques Rogge rises to speak at tonight’s ceremony, turn off the sound of our television sets, remember those Jews who have fallen, and pray for the peace of Israel.
Liberty Counsel is an international nonprofit, litigation, education, and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and the family since 1989, by providing pro bono assistance and representation on these and related topics.
Liberty Counsel was started by that hate monger and long time segregationist Jerry Falwell.
The Liberty Counsel supports Israel because it believes The Rapture can occur only if Jews control Jerusalem. Of course, then all non-believers in Christ will be torn apart in an agonizing death.
Need I say more about the Liberty Counsel? Oh yeah - it is so anti-gay that only it could find numerous cartoon characters who are "homosexuals."

Do you know how many atrocities have happened in the last 40 years? Maybe we should have moments of silence for all of them, in which case we'd never get started.
To characterize this as "Prejudice Against Jewish Nation" is really, really stupid.

a search of the liberty counsel website indicates
virtually nothing about "standing with Israel" in
its entire content other than this recent release which is an attempt to capitalize on the munich tragedy
not an attempt to remember it..this is a pro life anti
gay organization which doesn't care at all about the
state of Israel in its day to day work....and dork is
quite correct...evangelical support of the state of Israel is based on a bibilical concept that all jews
have to return to the homeland and convert in order
to be saved and of course that can't happen unless the
state of Israel continues to exist..the rest is noise

What is wrong with being pro-life? Should we be pro-death?
