Believe it or not. There is a Palestine Olympic Committee. It is allowed to parade its political propaganda ploy of the fictional Palestine and Palestinians internationally and participate in the Olympic Games.

According to the Olympic Charter, established by Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin, the goal of the Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.

The fact of the matter is that Arab Palestine is really Jordan, formerly called Trans-Jordan according to the British Mandate. Creation of a second Arab Palestine in the ancient biblical and modern territories of Gaza, Judea and Samaria belonging to Israel and the Jewish people, would be allowing a state of terrorism as well as a travesty of honesty, justice and morality by the whole world in historical revisionism.

So how and why does the international community legitimize and rationalize the participation of Palestine as a member state in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games when it has never ever been recognized as a state, not even by its biggest advocate and political mouthpiece - the Arab/Islamist-controlled United Nations?

What sporting event will they participate in? The destruction by demographics decathlon? The mass murder and mayhem marathon? The truce breaking triathalon? Bomb making? Ethnic Genocide. Hijacking. Shooting Spree.

Hatred. Incitement. Terrorism. Violence.

Lies. Myths. Propaganda.

If there were categories for these events then surely the Palestinians would take home the gold.

Arafat is very adept at taking home the gold. The "humanitarian aid" money given so generously by the international community, destined for clothing, education, food, shelter goes directly to Arafat's own personal account to fund and support terrorism. By legal definition, someone is acting with "unclean hands" in their case and cause.

In the opening ceremony parade, Palestine's small delegation was led by flag bearer Sanna Abubkheet.

Middle-distance runner Sanna Abubkheet flashed the "peace sign" in the opening parade of political propaganda, according to the Canadian Press. Unfortunately, the newspaper misunderstood the Arab Palestinian language. "V" isn't for peace in an Arab Palestinian's hand. It means victory. At the expense of Jewish blood and lives.

She will run in the 800m in Athens. When she started training seriously in 2000, she ran in shorts and a t-shirt. Residents of the camp where she lived - where most women cover themselves in traditional robes - were furious and demanded she dress more modestly. She was pelted with sticks and stones as she ran. Abubkheet stated she recognizes that running for "Palestine is as much about politics as it is about sport" as reported by Reuters on May 18, 2004.

We can all recall the cold-blooded mass murder and mayhem which was the focus of the 1972 Munich Olympic Massacre of eleven Israeli athletes. Or can we? If we didn't suffer from short term memory, or more aptly complete memory loss, we would never ever allow Arafat and his Palestinian Authority/Palestine Liberation Organization to participate in Olympic Games or the United Nations.

The entire world has lost its moral compass in this terrible tragedy of justice. Should we give a stage to this actor when we legitimize the "Chairman of Terror" and his PA/PLO and give them publicity for their perpetual political propaganda?

We know the International Olympic Committee has a stringent policy and one mission is to protect its athletes. It even adopted a stringent "World Anti-Doping Code" as part of its code of conduct. How about the adoption of a "World Anti-Terror Code"?

The IOC has a drug-free policy. Apparently it is perfectly clear that they do not have a terrorism free policy. The dopes are the International Olympic Committee officials that let a potential future terrorist state in games meant to foster friendship, harmony, and peace.

Might as well allow and have Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaida in the 2004 Athens Olympic sporting events to make the games more competitive.

Here's a partial explanation of how and why:

Greece is not exactly Israel's best ally in the world.

One of Greece's former athletes, a forty-five year-old mother former javelin thrower even offered to come out of retirement to compete on the Palestine team.

This is part of the official listing for Israel on the Athens Olympic 2004 website:

Capital: Tel-Aviv.
Continent: Europe

When looking to see what countries are in Asia, you do not find Israel on the list, but a fictitious country known as Palestine.

That's not all.

On the official Athens 2004 Olympic website it clearly shows Greece's sympathy with terrorism not democracy.

"Our thoughts are with Cyprus, Kosovo, Iraq, Palestine, and all corners of the world where there is a war going on or a people living under occupation. The Torch Relay gives us the chance to demonstrate our will for peace for all parts of the world where conflict is liable to flare up."

Palestinians should not be allowed to utilize international platforms to perpetuate their propaganda ploys when they are nothing more than a past, present and future state of terrorism and terrorists who lie and steal and violate human rights.

By allowing Palestinians to participate in the games, the world shows that it supports the annihilation of the only Jewish State in the entire world - the only beacon of democracy, freedom, and human rights in a sea of corrupt dictatorships, human rights violators, ruthless repressive regimes and tyrannies in the bad neighborhood known as the Middle East.
