London will be hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics. The Olympics is a time when all of the world comes together to celebrate, boast, and to compete against each other. The logo that has been picked for the 2012 Olympics is that of the number 2012 written in abstract print.
Not according to Iran! Iran objects the logo on grounds that the logo is racist and "resembles" the word "Zion." It is a worldwide conspiracy!
Zion is " a biblical term widely recognized to refer to the city of Jerusalem". This comes from a country whose president denies the Holocaust ever happened. What do you think of this claim? How would you respond?
If they dont like it they dont have to participate! :P The whole country needs to get a clue, starting from their president!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why certain fundamentalist countries have to use every opportunity they have to make Anti-Semetic accusations. The world better not embrace this notion by changing the chosen symbol!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why the media is giving this the time of day.
ReplyDeleteIts trivial.
