Mr Rogge may state that the IOC is "a sporting, not a political, association" but the IOC is more than happy to practice censorship in order to protect the sensitivities of their Chinese patrons.

Flames of Injustice
The Olympic Flame must be hounded every step from Olympia to Beijing. The "international community's" hypocrisy must be exposed. The hypocrisy of the IOC must be exposed. The IOC, especially it's president Jacques Rogge, shed crocodile tears for Tibet but are happy to take the millions in bribes the Chinese have given them.

A Deafening Silence
Dozens have been murdered. Tibet is under martial law. Chinese paramilitary thugs roam the streets, murdering and terrorising. The Dalai Lama has called this a "rule of terror" and "cultural genocide". Foreign media have been banned from entering Tibet.
Yet despite all of this the "international community" is unwilling to utter any meaningful criticism of the Chinese.
All of this is also happening barely a month after the much heralded independence of Kosovo. In relative terms the Serb rule over Kosovo has been enlightened when compared to the Chinese rule over Tibet.
What are the chances of American F15 jets bombing Beijing in order to free Tibet?

A Holocaust by Another Name
You don't need Cyclon B to commit shoah.
Just pack 1.5 million people into 140 square miles. Blockade from land, sea and air. Cut off the electricity and water supply. Cut off all humanitarian aid. Cut off all financial support. Prevent any food and medicine from getting there. Then just sit back and watch the shoah.
The Jewish Deputy Defence Minister Matan Vilnai may, or may not, have meant holocaust when he said "The more Qassam [rocket] fire intensifies and the rockets reach a longer range, they will bring upon themselves a bigger shoah because we will use all our might to defend ourselves" but the Palestinian holocaust is already happening. It has been happening for the last 60 years.
