The Palestinians, at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, showed that instead of launching military attacks to reach political goals, they would resort to terrorism. The “Black September”, a Palestinian terror organization held hostage and killed members of the Israeli Olympic team. The Olympics which is normally used as a way of fighting without guns soon became a world-wide debacle. On September 5th, early in the morning, the “Black September” launched their attack and bombarded the apartments where Israeli athletes were sleeping. The “Black September” held them hostage before eventually killing 11 Israeli Athletes when their goals were not meet. They wanted the release and safe passage of 234 Palestinians and non Arabs who are jailed in Israel, but also they wanted two German radicals released as well. When the Israelites responded with no cooperation, many were killed. This act committed by the Palestinian terrorists was poorly timed ad badly planned for several reasons. First, the Olympics, a time of joy, should not be made into a time of sorrow. Secondly, no country will cooperate with terrorist groups killing Jewish people in Germany. This not only looked bad for the Palestine but also for Germany.
