The Great Greek Hope

And in more Olympic news, here is a story that I just found, which fell through the cracks. Do you remember Sofia Sakorafa? She is the Greek javelin thrower who would rather be throwing molotov cocktails at Israeli soldiers. A while back, she gained PLO Arab citizenship in a quest to compete for the non-entity of Palestine. Well, guess what..

A Greek javelin thrower cannot compete with the Palestinian Olympic team because she did not meet the qualifying standard, Athleticsí world governing board said Tuesday.

Sofia Sakorafa, a 48-year-old former javelin champion, stirred controversy when she became a Palestinian citizen this year and applied at the last minute for a berth on the Olympic team.

IAAF general secretary Istvan Gyulai told The Associated Press that he informed the Palestinians that Sakorafaís recent throws were well below the minimum standards.

Of course, the PLO Arab response was predictable.

Palestinian officials and Sakorafa called a news conference in which they criticized Olympic officials, calling the decision a pretext and questioning the officialsí motives.

The only word missing here is Zionist before pretext. And how is this for a quote?

“The invocation of a procedural discrepancy is due either to ignorance or expediency.” Sakorafa said.

Talk about trying to sound intelligent.

But suckerupper Sakorafa has pledged to continue supporting the PLO Arabs.

Later, she said on private Mega television: “This was a symbolic gesture to show my support for the Palestinian people … I will continue to support them.”

I am not sure whether this means that Egged bus drivers should be on the lookout for a Greek woman wearing a large coat in the middle of Summer.

  1. I didn’t know there was such a thing as Palestinian citizenship. I thought there was no Palestinian state and they are all refugees. Then again, they have an Olympic national team…

  2. Poll: The Israel Referendum Campaign (Oslo’ites need not attend)

    # It is correct the name PLO, instead of Palestinians, is used of this terror gang demanding another state in Palestine. While many American christians recognise Israel’s truth and the evils overwhelming her today – many Jews have exposed themselves as Israel’s worst foes engaged in her utter destruction.

    As we speak, while American Christians are campaigning against another deathly 3-state solution to the Jewish Problem – contrived as a ‘just 2-state’ in Palestine which will forever destroy any chance for a Jewish homeland – Israel’s Left court judges are demanding that Israel bow down to the EU/UN/Islamist demand of another deathly PLO state within and surrounding the same Jewish homeland, Jerusalem be cut asunder and Jews transferred from their homes and communities. Today’s Dathans have fully backed the death sentence issued upon Israel – as being good for Israel – in line with the genocidal goal: ‘THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO THE UTTER DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL – WE WILL DROWN ALL THE JEWS IN THE SEA’. Say NEVER AGAIN to a deathly 3-State solution to the Jewish Problem – or NEVER AGAIN will NEVER AGAIN have any meaning.

    The Israel Referendum Campaign

    Dear Pastor:

    The ‘Israel Referendum Campaign’ could be the most important campaign of 2004. Throughout the years, America’s stand with Israel has played a significant role in G-d’s blessings and His protection upon our Nation. It has also determined the outcome of Presidential leaders during election time.

    During this election season two very evil agendas exist regarding Israel. Firstly, The Disengagement Plan: the removal of 250,000 Jews from their homes from the Gaza strip, Judea and Samaria. Secondly, The Road Map: a plan to divide G-d’s land and give it to a Palestinian terrorist government. Both promote terrorism and reject G-d’s covenant for the Land of Israel.

    The Global Israel Alliance along with Americans for A Safe Israel are asking you and your congregation to join with us to send the President and the Congress a trumpet sound of ‘No’ we will not compromise our stand with Israel as a biblically mandated Jewish homeland.

    Information about this historic referendum and the ballot for the referendum can be found on http://www.globalisraelalliance.com.

    Below are some ways you can help us to spread the word and change the destiny of two nations:

    Assign one Sunday to take a Referendum Poll of your congregation’s response to the referendum question, ‘Do you support the establishment of a PLO state in the Land of Israel.’ Call or send the referendum results to GIA/AFSI.

    Send the website link and promotional material to fellow ministers and friends.

    Host the ballot on your website, copy the link, and place it on your front page or open a frame and place the ballot directly in it.

    Advertise the Referendum and website http://www.globalisraelalliance.com in your bulletin.

    Assign an IRC coordinator, within your congregation, to promote the ‘Israel Referendum Campaign.’ This individual would be responsible for bringing the referendum to the attention of the congregation, taking a hand count of voters, the distribution and collection of the ballots, and the mailing of the ballots to our headquarters in New York.

    Financially support the referendum with a contribution. Your support can help us underwrite the enormous costs associated with the Referendum. Please send your contribution to the Global Israel Alliance/Israel Referendum Campaign, 1623 3rd Avenue, Suite 205, New York, NY 10128.

    Together, we can make a difference in the future of American and Israel!

    Blessings,
