Israel och politiker från flera andra stater (USA, Storbritannien, Tyskland, Australien) understöder tanken och har försökt få Internationella Olympiska Kommittén gå med på saken utan att hittills ha lyckats.
Om man vill vara med och försöka påverka IOK kan man underteckna den namnlista som hustrun till en av de dödade israelerna håller på att sammanställa.
Tenacious Munich massacre widow fights on
Continuing row over minute's silence for murdered Munich athletes
"The International Olympic Committee has insisted that no change has been
made over the decision not to hold a minute’s silence at the opening
ceremony of London 2012 for the 11 Israeli athletes murdered at the
Munich Games in 1972. ..
...Last month, the London Assembly voted unanimously in favour of a
commemoration for Munich at the Games. Labour MLA Andrew Dismore, who
proposed the motion, said the IOC had begun “behaving like a cuckoo in
the nest in London; they forget that they are our guests in our city.
They throw their weight around and trample on everyone in sight.”
He said London leaders like Mayor Boris Johnson had “rolled over”
when the IOC declined the request for a silence. “It’s very clear if it
was anyone other than Israeli athletes then there would be a
commemoration.”Time to listen to call for Munich silence
Här kan man underteckna en vädjan till IOK om att en tyst minut skall hållas: International Olympic Committee: Minute of Silence at the 2012 London Olympics.
