Why did the Germans cover this up? Why did they not want the world to know the grim reality of Islamic jihad hatred and bloodlust? German neo-Nazis aided the jihad killers in this attack — did the authorities also sympathize with their Jew-hatred and savagery? Why did Steven Spielberg stump for these savages in his widely reviled movie Munich?
The world at large also covers up the full story of Islamic jihad barbarism. Islamic State (ISIS) videos disappear from YouTube as soon as they go up. They should remain, with a big disclaimer saying: This is what the free world is in for if we don’t start speaking realistically about and acting forthrightly against the advancing Islamic jihad.

“Widows reveal gruesome Munich massacre details hidden by Germany,” by Ari Yashar, Israel National News, December 1, 2015:
Widows of the 11 Israeli athletes murdered by the Black September Palestinian terror group in the 1972 Munich Olympics have come forward with gruesome details of the attack – details that were hidden from them by the German government for two decades.
In the attack, the Olympic team members were taken hostage for 20 hours and eventually all murdered, along with a German police officer, by the Black September group in an attack funded by current Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. German neo-Nazis gave the terrorists logistical assistance.
[the_ad id=”72852″]
Ilana Romano and Ankie Spitzer, the widows of two of the athletes murdered in the attack, came forward for the first time revealing new details about the attack to the New York Times which were published on Tuesday, in an attempt to gain recognition for their loved ones and have them receive a proper memorial.
Among other things, they divulged that the victims were viciously beaten – and at least one was castrated.
Spitzer, whose husband Andre was a fencing coach, first described the brutality in an interview for the upcoming documentary film “Munich 1972 & Beyond,” which is expected to be released early next year.
She told the paper that she and other families of the victims only got the details of what really happened 20 years later, when German authorities released hundreds of pages of reports they had denied existed over the previous two decades.
The reports included photographs that she, Romano and their lawyer Pinchas Zeltzer first saw in 1992. Zeltzer had received the photographs from the scene of the attack during a trip to Munich. The widows insisted that he show them the photographs despite his recommendation that they not view the horrific graphic evidence, and afterwards they agreed not to publicly discuss them – until now.
“Can you imagine?”
Romano’s husband Yossef, a champion weight lifter, was shot as he heroically attempted to overpower the terrorists early in the attack. He was left to die in front of the other hostages and castrated, while others were beaten and seriously wounded, suffering broken bones and other brutal wounds, said Spitzer.
Aside from Romano another athlete was also murdered at Olympic Village, while the other nine hostages were murdered in a failed rescue attempt by German authorities at a nearby airport.

“What they did is that they cut off his genitals through his underwear and abused him,” Romano said of her husband. “Can you imagine the nine others sitting around tied up? They watched this.”
Spitzer said it wasn’t clear if the mutilation occurred before or after Romano died, but Romano said she believed it came after his death.
One of Romano’s daughters was to be married three days after her lawyer notified her that he had received the photographs in 1992, but she said she didn’t delay after having waited for 20 years to learn the truth of her husband’s fate.
She, Spitzer and Zeltzer have kept the details to themselves since out of respect for the memories of the victims, with Romano telling her daughters immediately afterwards that the pictures were “difficult” and requesting that they not ask her about them.
“It was very painful”
Romano has since referenced the mutilation of her husband but kept the information about the photographs to herself. She noted the pictures were “as bad as I could have imagined.”
“The terrorists always claimed they didn’t come to murder anyone – that they only wanted to free their friends from prison in Israel,” said Spitzer. “They said it was only because of the botched-up rescue operation at the airport that they killed the rest of the hostages, but it’s not true. They came to hurt people. They came to kill.”
Local police killed five of the eight Black September members during the failed rescue attempt. They captured the three survivors, but West Germany later released them following an airliner hijacking later that year. Mossad responded to the release with Operation “Spring of Youth” and Operation “Wrath of God,” tracking down and killing the remaining terrorists involved in the massacre.
“The moment I saw the photos, it was very painful. I remembered until that day Yossef as a young man with a big smile. I remembered his dimples until that moment,” said Romano. “At that moment it erased the entire Yossi that I knew.”
How the details were divulged
In 1992 Spitzer gave an interview on German TV, in which she expressed frustration at not knowing the details. Afterwards she was contacted by a man who said he worked with a German government agency that had access to vast amounts of records on the attack.
The man, who stayed anonymous, gave about 80 pages of reports which Spitzer, Romano and Zeltzer used to pressure the German government into giving them the full records, including the horrific photographs from the attack.
After receiving the file, they sued the German government, the Bavarian regional government and the city of Munich for a “deficient security concept” and “serious mistakes” that doomed the failed rescue attempt of the nine remaining hostages who were murdered at an airport.
However their lawsuit, delayed for 20 years by the German government’s refusal to share the details, was dismissed on grounds of statute of limitations expiring.
The widows have continued lobbying to memorialize their loved ones, and just this year the International Olympic Committee under the new president Thomas Bach agreed to make a permanent memorial in Munich.
There are also plans to commemorate the 11 victims in the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, although they will be remembered in a moment of silence together with other athletes who have died in the games. Romano and Spitzer are pressing to have the victims remembered separately from those who died in sporting accidents, given the radically different nature of their deaths.
The murdered athletes were:
Moshe Weinberg, wrestling coach
Yossef Romano, weightlifter
Ze’ev Friedman, weightlifter
David Berger, weightlifter
Yakov Springer, weightlifting judge
Eliezer Halfin, wrestler
Yossef Gutfreund, wrestling referee
Kehat Shorr, shooting coach
Mark Slavin, wrestler
Andre Spitzer, fencing coach
Amitzur Shapira, track coach

Even this morning the stupid news reported that 2 Palestinians were shot by Israeli soldiers. No mention that these filthy terrorists were shot for attacking inocent Israelis or like the other day a Nepalise woman.

I can’t even bear to watch the liars in the enemedia anymore. I never used to watch Pat Roberson’s CBC program until recently because it’s so refreshing to hear the truth about Israel and islam instead of islamic propaganda.

This happened over 40 years ago. Even back then this Palestinian/muslim filth was as bloodthirsty and vicious as they are now. They will burn in Hell forever.
My deepest sympathies to the Israeli families who lost their loved ones.

Its time for Mossad to go back to what they do best, and that is to eliminate any and all threats to Israel and the Jews know matter where in the world it emanates from, fear is the only thing filth like islam and progressives have a very healthy respect for, and death is their just reward.

“Deficient security concept”… why did I think about our french government who sat on its a.. for 11 month through 7 terrorists attacks culminating with the 11/13/15 attacks in Paris?

And why did the French police wait for two hours while the terrorists methodically tortured and slaughtered their victims at the Bataclan Theater before they, the French police, entered the theater?

That I don’t know. The french police is not that bad, the problem is that they are kept on a tight leash by the political powers and instructed not to act too much, an example : in the 3 days following the attacks, they conducted over 300 raids and searches in suspect houses(which led to the arrest and termination of suspected terrorists). They had all the adresses in advance, long before, but had no green light, no instructions to conduct the searches…

Good questions. I didn’t see the Spielberg spinner but I do believe that Islam will please the globalists and will be revealed as the one world religion when the time is right. If it wasn’t clear before, events of the past year clearly connect the dots.

I watched the news coverage of the ’72 terrorist attack on TV at the time.
I read the book about the ’72 Munich terrorist attack and how Israel responded when it first came out.
“Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team”
— George Jonas – 1984
GREAT BOOK !
Then I got the DVD based on the book
“Sword of Gideon” – 2004
GREAT MOVIE !
Bat Ye’or goes into some detail about the German and European involvement in the ’72 Olympic terrorist attack in her book “Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis”. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how and why the megalomaniacal Globalists of the EU have allied themselves with Islam to rule the world and how that has caused so many of the problems the world faces today.

Total cover up of the truth by Germany like their mass genocide! Years later Jewish sportsmen murdered by hitlers mates but this proves Germany was still anti Semitic and didn’t care enough about security for them and how easy it was for muslims terrorists to target the victims and screw up the rescue and what happened to the gunmen ? Was Palestinians punished ? No UN nations embargo or compensation for the widows ? Shocking it should never have been able to happen! They should have their genetals cut off the swines and fed to pigs and 2015 and still murders of non muslims by religion of war not peace! When is there going to be a security council decree to punish the Palestinians and issue a war crime writ for the violence they and other Muslim murderers country government when it is clear that Muslims are leading a jihadi war against us and cut off all aid money to these aliens of terror then when their governments get sick of having aid cut off they will be firced to do the right and just thing by rounding up and jail or better still shoot them by firing squad, no celebration just shame and the families thrown in prison and kids removed so that they are not the next generation of brainwashed hate filled killers when they grow

Hey Nighthawk, that’s a SUPER COMMENT. Why haven’t I heard of Rodney Atkinson before? (rhetorical question). I generally can’t stand to watch videos, too slow. I see the transcript of this speech here
http://www.juliagorin.com/wordpress/?p=2675
thanks Julia Gorin
It looks like Mr. Atkinson has a big part of the answer to the question
“What the hell is going on with the EU?”.
btw, Bat Ye’or has the best explanation of the EU I’ve seen yet, but I see Rodney Atkinson has written the following books about the EU:
Europe’s Full Circle
Treason at Maastricht
Conservatism in Danger
A Return to the Regions : A New Prospectus for Regional Policy
And Into The Fire: Fascist Elements in Post War Europe and the Development of the EU
The Emancipated Society
Your Country Your Democracy: Threat from the European Community
Fascist Europe Rising
The Failure of the State
Government Against the People

German scumbags. I’m glad the Mossad tracked down the muslum terrorist apes and revoked their breathing privileges.

Howard Cosell covered the ’72’ Olympics (he was there) but he was prevented from covering the terrorist attack.
I wish Mrs. Geller would do an interview w/Gilad Shalit, I’d like to hear about how his all muslum captors treated him while he was in their custody — because I’m positive there was nothing humane about it.

(Drew the Infidel) — If Follywood is really that hard up for movie material a better story to tell is how Mossad systematically hunted down the Black September perpetrators like dogs and wasted their asses.
