UK: Iranians "Would Not Be Missed" If They Boycott London Olympics
(TotallyJewish-UK) Justin Cohen - After Iran's Olympic Committee hinted that it may stay away over the 2012 Olympic Games' logo, which it claims spelled out the word "Zion," Prime Minister David Cameron said in an interview: "It's completely paranoid. If the Iranians don't want to come, don't come, we won't miss you." He also warned that athletes unwilling to compete against Israelis in 2012 would not be welcome at the games. "Israel stands as a beacon of democracy in the region. I am encouraged that the people rising up in neighboring countries seem to be doing so not out of religious extremism but motivated by the prospect of more political freedom," he added.
