BBC finds Iranian anti-Semitic slur over Olympic logo all very amusing in typical nod to Muslim anti-Semitism
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011In an anti-Semitic slur that would not have looked out of place in Germany in 1935, Iran has launched an official complaint over the logo for the London Olympics in 2012 saying it is racist because it spells the word “Zion”.
Mohammad Aliabadi (read Joseph Goebbels), who is head of the Iranian National Olympic Committee, was quoted by the Daily Telegraph as saying: “The use of the word Zion by the designer of Olympics logo ….in the emblem of the Olympic Games 2012 is a very revolting act.”
The logo says nothing of the sort, of course, but in the deranged minds of Holocaust deniers and conspiracy theorists the image of the dreaded Jew is everywhere that power and the symbols thereof reside. Of course, for the BBC, which is soft on anti-Semitism (and Holocaust denial) when it emanates from the Muslim world, this was all quite amusing.
