Bang on when it comes to the Lebanese/Israeli issue and the Hajib issue for sure. These games were a joke interms of some of the IOC policy decisions.

I would have had lesser of a problem with that article (which in so many parts was an absolute joke like the Greek runner and her racist posts are ok, but the Lebanese athletes objecting to being in the same room as ones from a country that has brought death and destruction upon theirs for decades) if it came from someone who lives in a country where racism is perfectly acceptable. I have worked and travelled to Russia a few times in the last decade, love the history, culture and women of course, but I have never seen a nation where one could be an outright racist and it is seen as perfectly acceptable. So many of my work colleagues and friends were degraded by police, ordinary citizens and such because of they happen to be a darker shade I was shocked.

The abomination Hitler recognized the inherent racism in these poor saps, the Russians and Ukranians and used them to round up and slaughter jews. After Hitler intended to use these same saps as slaves which is why the Nazis attacked their former axis allies. Some of the most rabid antisemites that I have heard in conversation are Russians living right here in the GTA, so the newspaper articles are not astonishing at all. The host country for the olympics, the UK has an economy which is heavily invested in by Arab Middle East nations, the British Pound is heavily influenced by Arab oil money, so that it was not surprising that the Olympic committee did not respect Israel in the London Games at all. And yes Russians and Ukranians have contempt and derision for all people of colour, but I have noticed that some Russian ladies say that they discreetly have black lovers because they are unsatisfied with their impotent alcoholic Russian husbands and boyfriends.
