Before the Football World Cup 2006 the European Coalition for Israel launched a media campaign in German papers with the following content:

70 years ago, in 1936, Adolf Hitler marched into Berlin's newly built Olympiastadion to open the XI Summer Olympic games. He made no secret of his ambition to wipe out the Jewish people and in less than nine short years, 6 million Jews were dead. 

This summer Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - a man who has openly stated his intention to “wipe Israel off the map” - wants to come to the World Cup in Germany: a sporting contest that culminates in the exact same stadium.
Some see just a game. We see history repeating itself.
