  • The Munich Massacre: a New History
    The Munich Massacre: A New History Eppie Briggs (aka Marigold Black) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of BA (Hons) in History University of Sydney October 2011 1 Contents Introduction and Historiography Part I – Quiet the Zionist Rage 1. The Burdened Alliance 2. Domestic Unrest Part II – Rouse the Global Wrath 3. International Condemnation 4. The New Terrorism Conclusion 2 Acknowledgments I would like to thank first and foremost Dr Glenda Sluga to whom I am greatly indebted for her guidance, support and encouragement. Without Glenda‟s sage advice, the writing of this thesis would have been an infinitely more difficult and painful experience. I would also like to thank Dr Michael Ondaatje for his excellent counsel, good-humour and friendship throughout the last few years. Heartfelt thanks go to Elise and Dean Briggs for all their love, support and patience and finally, to Angus Harker and Janie Briggs. I cannot adequately convey the thanks I owe Angus and Janie for their encouragement, love, and strength, and for being a constant reminder as to why I was writing this thesis. 3 Abstract This thesis examines the Nixon administration’s response to the Munich Massacre; a terrorist attack which took place at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. By examining the contextual considerations influencing the administration’s response in both the domestic and international spheres, this thesis will determine the manner in which diplomatic intricacies impacted on the introduction of precedent setting counterterrorism institutions. Furthermore, it will expound the correlation between the Nixon administration’s response and a developing conceptualisation of acts of modern international terrorism.

    FREE VENGEANCE: THE TRUE STORY OF AN ISRAELI COUNTER-TERRORIST TEAM PDF George Jonas | 388 pages | 29 Nov 2005 | SIMON & SCHUSTER | 9780743291644 | English | New York, NY, United States Vengeance | Book by George Jonas | Official Publisher Page | Simon & Schuster A book that has received a deserved revival since Spielbergs movie Munich was released. Those who watched in horror at the massacre of Israeli athletes during the Olympics follow Mossad agents in Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team Jonas. Vengeance is a true story that reads like a novel. It is the account of five ordinary Israelis, selected to vanish into "the cold" of espionage secrecy -- their mission to hunt down and kill the PLO terrorists responsible for the massacre of eleven Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in This is the account of that secret mission, as related by the leader of the group -- the first Mossad agent to come out of "deep cover" and tell the story of a heroic endeavor that was shrouded in silence and speculation for years. He reveals the long and dangerous operation whose success was bought at a terrible cost to the idealistic volunteer agents themselves. He and his young companions, cut off from any direct contact with Israel, set out systematically to find and kill the central figures of the PLO's Munich operation, Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team them down wherever they lived. Vengeance is a profoundly human document, a real-life espionage classic that plunges the reader into the shadow world of terrorism and political murder.

  • Hausmitteilung 23
    DAS DEUTSCHE NACHRICHTEN-MAGAZIN Hausmitteilung 23. Januar 2006 Betr.: Titel, Immobilien, Resonanz elten hat in den USA ein Film eine sol- Sche Kontroverse ausgelöst wie Steven Spielbergs „München“ über das Olympia- Attentat 1972 auf das israelische Team und den nachfolgenden Rachefeldzug des Ge- heimdienstes Mossad. Im Gespräch mit SPIEGEL-Autor Erich Follath, 56, und -Re- dakteur Lars-Olav Beier, 40, wehrt sich der Regisseur, dessen Film am Donnerstag in AMIT SHABI / LAIF AMIT Deutschland anläuft, vehement gegen den Ex-Mossad-Agent Biran, Follath Vorwurf, er habe israelische Rächer und palästinensische Täter moralisch gleichge- setzt. In Tel Aviv und Haifa traf Follath, der 1980 ein Buch über den Mossad geschrieben hat („Das Auge Davids“), zwei der Hauptverantwortlichen für das spektakuläre Rache- Kommandounternehmen, bei dem nicht nur „Zielpersonen“ getötet wurden, sondern auch „Kollateralschäden“ entstanden. Die Ex-Agenten Muki Bezer, heute 60, und Amnon Biran, 63, beteuerten einhellig: „Es musste sein.“ Entscheidend sei die Verhält- nismäßigkeit staatlicher Reaktionen, die Bezer indes bei der Liquidierung von Hamas- Führern nicht immer gegeben sieht. Die Frage, wie weit ein demokratischer Staat angesichts der terroristischen Herausforderung gehen darf, beleuchten SPIEGEL-Aus- landschef Gerhard Spörl, 55, und Follath im Titelstück über die „München“-Kontro- verse (Seite 104). Die Haltung verschiedener israelischer Ministerpräsidenten erörtert der Mossad-Experte Aaron J. Klein in seinem Buch „Die Rächer“, das dieser Tage als SPIEGEL-Buch bei der Deutschen Verlags-Anstalt erscheint und das Tel Avivs Antwort auf München anhand neuer Quellen beschreibt – ein Auszug auf Seite 110. ass der New Yorker Immobilienmarkt nach an- Dderen Gesetzen funktioniert als der in Ham- burg oder Berlin, merkte USA-Korrespondent Frank Hornig, 36, bereits in seiner ersten Arbeitswoche in Manhattan – bei der privaten Wohnungssuche.

  • Keeping Company in Hollywood: Toward an Ethics of the Non-Fiction Film
    Access Provided by City University of New York at 04/29/10 1:28PM GMT David H. Richter Keeping Company in Hollywood: Ethical Issues in Nonfiction Film It was in 1961, in the notorious thirteenth chapter of his first book, The Rhetoric of Fiction, that Wayne Booth took a flying leap into ethical criticism, an arena guarded by great souls like Plato, Samuel Johnson, and Leo Tolstoy, but primarily in- habited, fifty years ago, by narrow moralists from the Legion of Decency. In 1966 Booth told my class in contemporary theory at the University of Chicago that he had spent more time defending that chapter than the other twelve put together, but it was not time wasted, because it put that issue onto the table, where it turned into a busy field of inquiry. Booth’s central thrust in the 1988 The Company We Keep was that, because man is a social animal, fiction is ethically formative: that our lives are sig- nificantly enriched or impoverished, our character strengthened or enfeebled, our values challenged or confirmed by the narratives that we read. Booth’s views have at- tracted allies like Martha Nussbaum, and antagonists like Hillis Miller and Richard Posner.1 While I have elsewhere expressed my dissent from some of Booth’s particular textual analyses, my discussion of “ethical cheating” in fiction films presumed his basic position on the ethics of fiction, and the essay that follows is an attempt to ex- tend Booth’s concerns in the area of narrative ethics to the nonfiction film.2 By non- fiction film, I refer to biographical and historical films that dramatize actual events in the lives of real people but use professional actors to represent the agents.

  • Between Vengeance and Retribution: a New View of the Mossad's Most Mysterious Operation
    BETWEEN VENGEANCE AND RETRIBUTION: A NEW VIEW OF THE MOSSAD'S MOST MYSTERIOUS OPERATION Aaron J. Klein, Striking Back: The 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre and Israel's Deadly Response (New York: Random House, 2006). Reviewed by Konstantin Eggert As the eight Black September gunmen climbed over the Olympic Village fence in Munich on September 5, 1972, they could hardly imagine the full consequences of their actions. All they wanted was to exchange the hostages for a couple hundred Palestinian inmates in Israeli pris ons. Their intention was to attract as much notice from the press as they could. However, they hardly expected that they would enter into history and would possibly even change its course. Twentyfour hours later most of the terrorists and all of the hostages were dead, while the so called Kitchen Cabinet of Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir made a decision to launch a cam paign of retribution unprecedented in its duration and in resources spent, against the Black September organization and, essentially, against the Palestinian leadership as a whole, as well as its international representatives. Up until this point, the famous best seller Vengeance, written by the Canadian author George Jonas and published in 1984, has been considered the main, albeit rather frag mentary, source of information on the subject. Steven Spielberg based his film Munich on that very book. The American director portrays the Mossad agents not as “knights without fear, blemish, and doubt,” but as people who, in the end, begin to question whether their mission is worth all the sacrifice. Precisely this caused the mixed, if not angry, reaction of many in Israel.

He is also designed to be unhindered by any physical, emotional or financial restrictions and can therefore exercise his power (against any person, organisation or situation) in the pursuit of an ideology which defines and promotes the political intentions and the cultural influences of his author. This thesis challenges the figure of Gabriel Allon by arguing firstly, that he is in fact a highly ambivalent, morally problematic figure and secondly, in demonstrating where elements of real-life (adapted by the author to support his ideological stance) have undermined the reliability of the narrative. The thesis has also examined some of the political sub-texts employed by the author to question whether his methodology is serving to enhance the plausibility of the fiction or whether it is embedding dangerously subjective depictions of counter-terrorism into the reader’s consciousness.

  • Munich Film Review
    The Story Behind The Story: The Real Events In Munich: (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) One of the so-called Black September kidnappers on the balcony of the Israeli team quarters at the Olympic village The Munich massacre occurred at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, when members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage by the Palestinian terrorist organization Black September, assumed to be an operational cover for Yasser Arafat's Fatah group. The attack led to the deaths of 11 Israeli athletes and one German police officer. Five of the eight kidnappers were killed by the police during rescue attempts. Later, a series of Israeli revenge assassinations caused the deaths of two of three kidnappers (hostage-taker Jamal Al-Gashey is still at large) as well as the principal planners. Author Simon Reeve writes that the Munich massacre was one of the most significant terror attacks of recent times, one that "thrust the Palestinian cause into the world spotlight, set the tone for decades of conflict in the Middle East, and launched a new era of international terrorism" (Reeve 2001). The Hostage-Taking: Picture of German police atop the Israeli quarters awaiting orders to raid the compound.

    COUNTERING TERRORISM: THE ISRAELI RESPONSE TO THE 1972 MUNICH OLYMPIC MASSACRE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDEPENDENT COVERT ACTION TEAMS by Alexander B.

Author: Alexander B. Calahan Thesis: The purpose of this study is to examine the methodology of the covert action teams authorized by Prime Minister Golda Meir to find and assassinate those individuals responsible for the attack on the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic games in September 1972. Specifically, the study addresses whether the operational and tactical methods utilized in this counterterrorist effort were successful relative to the original operational objectives. Background: In 1972, the Israeli Mossad initiated one of the most ambitious covert counterterrorist campaigns in history. Golda Meir and the Israeli cabinet's top secret 'Committee-X' devised a campaign in retaliation for the massacre of eleven Israeli's during the Munich Olympic games. Meir tasked the committee with devising an appropriate response to the Munich massacre. The panel concluded that the most effective response was to authorize the assassination of any Black September terrorists involved in the Munich incident. The Mossad assumed the responsibility for implementing the panel's directive.
