Last night’s documentary Munich: Mossad’s Revenge was absolutely brilliant, especially the reconstruction of Barak’s infamous donning of female attire in the Beirut shootings. During the 1972 Olympics in Munich a dozen Israeli athletes were kidnapped by a PLO group known as Black Sunday demanding the release of their fighters in Israeli prisons. In a botched rescue attempt 11 Israeli athletes, 5 Palestinian agents and a German officier lost their lives. Today sees the general release of Spielbergs’ new controversial film Munich which follows the aftermath of these attacks through the eyes of agents working for the ‘Operation Wrath of God.’ I found two interesting articles here and here but I intend to give my general opinion after I’ve seen it this weekend!
