=Munich Olympic Massacre= Eleven were targeted, eight were brutally murdered, and 9 died in the after math of the Munich Olympic Massacre. The summer olympics were held in Munich, Germany, for the first time since Adolf Hitler had them held in Germany to show off his race's superiority. The Germans wanted the games to be held in Germany once again in hopes to heal racial wounds caused by Hitler. However Arabs and Israelis have a violent history with eachother. The Arabs had something far worse planned than healing wounds. They planned to take Israeli olympians hostage to later have them killed, for things they did not personally do, the aftermath affected the world.

At four a.m. on September 5, 1972; five Arabs hopped the fence into the Olympic Village. They met up with three others who had stolen the Israeli Olympians apartment keys. They wore track suits to not look as suspicious, and were carrying machine guns, knives, and other weapons in gym bags. A team referee tried to stop them at the door and warned the other olympians to get out of the building. Two were killed upon entry. Nine people were taken hostage. They staked out all day with the hostages making many different demands but nothing seemed to be going smoothly. They then agreed to be taken by helicopter to NATO air base where they were given a plane to fly hostages to Cairo, Egypt. They planned to take out the terrorists once they got to the airport during the "transfer" of the prisoners. There were more terrorists than they had anticipated so they did not have enough men to take them out. Germany proceeded to try anyways. It turned into a bloodbath. The media was falsely told that the hostages had been saved. But an hour later new fights broke out and a helicopter was blown up. The remaining 9 hostages were shot to death by a surviving terrorist. 5 terrorists were killed along with 1 police man. News reporter Jim Mckay announce to the world "They're all gone".

The Palestinian Terrorists thought that the best way to get the publics attention was to use the Olympics. The Olympics is broadcasted throughout the world, along with many representatives from every country from around the world there. Palesinians wanted this massacre to be seen and heard about throughout the world. Palestine wanted the release of about two hundred prisoners from the Israeli's. They also wanted to have the release of two convicted Palestine terrorists. The terrorists were said to be, "fighters for their country". They were defending their people, but in my opinion in all the wrong ways. The Olympians were brought into the situation because they represented Israel with pride. They knew that all of Israel would be proudly watching them at the games and knew this would get noticed. Nobody knows for sure if the terrorists expected it to end this badly.

The aftermath of this massacre was astonishing. After this atack had begun Israeli Prime minister gave instructions for Israeli agents to kill those who were behind the operation. "The wrath of god" was created, 'commitee x' was authorized the assassination of any Black September involved. The whole world was very shaken by the number of Olympians that were killed,and for the way they died. Some familis went into denial about everything that happened. Relatives of the people who were killed that day held a remembrance ceremony 30 years later at the Sydney Olympics. One family member said " things will never be the same as 30 years ago, everything now at the Olympics is security, security, security.. It's always good to remember the legends they created".
