Danny Ayalon Releases Video Promoting “Just One Minute� Campaign For
Murdered Israeli Olympic Athletes

Communicated by Deputy Foreign Minister's Bureau
22 May 2012

Yesterday (22nd May 2012), Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon released a
one-minute video as part of a new campaign, titled “Just One Minute�, in
which he calls on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to devote a
minute of silence during the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games in
remembrance of the massacre of eleven Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich
Olympics.

In response to last week's refusal of the IOC to formally honor the memory
of the murdered athletes at this year's Olympics, DFM Ayalon is working to
garner public support for the campaign led by the bereaved families who have
been working for an official commemoration for 40 years. "The IOC should
recognize the terrible tragedy that happened during the 1972 Olympic Games.
The request to hold a minute of silence is reasonable and symbolizes the
solidarity of the countries participating in the Olympic Games – it is
undeniably the just and moral thing to do," Ayalon said.

Deputy Minister Ayalon's call for a minute silence, on behalf of the
families, has been joined by many international organizations as well as 20
British MPs and leading U.S. Congressmen like Nita Lowey and Eliot Engel,
and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs
Committee.

DFM Ayalon stresses that this is not a political issue; it is the basic
obligation of the Olympic community towards its athletes. Dozens of
articles, organizations and politicians throughout the world in the past few
days have called on the IOC to reverse its decision. “I hope that this
massive support and sympathy will lead to a change in the decision,� Ayalon
said, noting that this is only the first part of a concerted campaign.
