What if their is a feast of peace and brotherhood, but people refuse to participate in it?
The Olympics have begun while I was staying in Italy. Now I�m back and the Olympics are as usual: victories, drama, drugs and so on. On the website www.olympics.org you can read: �The Games have always brought people together in peace to respect universal moral principles.� Well except for the Dutch of course.
While the whole world is celebrating this feast of brotherhood of men, the Dutch stay in their own bunker: the Holland Heineken House. First set up during the Olympics of Barcelona, nothing more than a small tent, has now become a true temple for the Dutch where they can celebrate their success and losses among each other. It provides them �a home away from home�. Strange huh for a country in which a leading opinion program on television asks whether or not it detrimental for the integration of migrants when they spent their holidays in their countries of origin?!
Ow of course it has several other reasons as well. It is also a means for the Dutch Olympic Commitee to roundabout the strict guidelinis of the IOC concerning commercial affairs. So every Dutch medal winner is obliged to come to the Holland House in order to be honoured by the audience and the bobo’s. Only Dutch a people are allowed. To to me this is a variant of the saying: What if their is a war but no one wants to participate in it?
