The Washington Times and the Jerusalem Post were very lonely in reporting that Muslim animosity toward Israel’s 47-member Olympic delegation has triggered a reprimand from the International Olympic Committee and protest from Jewish groups such as the Anti-Defamation League, which issued a statement this week decrying anti-Israel “hostility” in Rio de Janeiro.
None of the networks – especially NBC, the channel hosting the Olympics – seemed to notice at all on their newscasts. The Jerusalem Post reported the trouble began on the way to the opening ceremonies:
