Point of information...what policy does the EU have towards Hezbollah at this point Ken Burch Jul 2012 #24

They are recognized as a politcal party not a terrorist organization oberliner Jul 2012 #25

Only the military wing is categorised as a terrorist entity in the UK... shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #28

I wonder if the EU would consider following suit oberliner Jul 2012 #29

Is that what Israel is requesting? azurnoir Jul 2012 #30

Only the IOC itself was responsible the "minute of silence" flap. Ken Burch Jul 2012 #41

You realize there were 2 moments of silence last night, but neither one for Israeli victims? shira Jul 2012 #42

They'd already had commemorations of the Munich victims at previous games. Ken Burch Jul 2012 #43

Not publicly AFAIK.... shira Jul 2012 #47

They had a memorial at Munich itself. I watched it on tv as a child Ken Burch Jul 2012 #48

So why refuse this request on the anniversary? oberliner Jul 2012 #49

Actually, I think they would. They would feel, I suspect Ken Burch Jul 2012 #53

They are having a minute of silence on the actual anniversary... shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #58
