I can't believe the nerve of this scumbag claiming to be "outraged". F him and the horse he rode in on.



"The Palestinian mastermind of the Munich Olympics terrorist attack, which killed 11 Israeli athletes, says he is outraged at not being consulted for the Steven Spielberg thriller Munich. He also accused the director of pandering to the Jewish state and says the new film about the incident will not deliver reconciliation.

Mohammed Daoud planned the Munich attack on behalf of PLO splinter group Black September, but did not take part and does not feature in the film.

Spielberg has called Munich, which dramatises the 1972 raid and Israel's reprisals against members of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), his "prayer for peace".

"If he really wanted to make it a prayer for peace he should have listened to both sides of the story and reflected reality, rather than serving the Zionist side alone," Daoud said by telephone from the Syrian capital, Damascus.

"We did not target Israeli civilians," Daoud said.

"Some of them (the athletes) had taken part in wars and killed many Palestinians. Whether a pianist or an athlete, any Israeli is a soldier."

Spielberg's producer, Kathleen Kennedy, told a preview audience at Princeton University that a Palestinian consultant was used for Munich. She did not say who it was."

The PLO is a terrorist organization and until they renounce violence and condemn those that continue to use violence (Hamas and friends), the Israeli's will not wholehearted deal with them and rightly so.

What's the name of that book by Leon Uris about the formation of the state of Israel? About how the Jew's used terror tactic's to run the British out? Car bomb's and such. I'll look it up.

Exodus.Good book.

Exodus, I loved that book! What fantastically written characters.

I'm usually not into the historical fiction thing, but Leon Uris is one HELL of an author. I've read like a half dozen books by him. That's some tough reading! But amazingly emotional at points, the characters are just written with such depth, Leon Uris books are always a real page turner! But they definitely require a bit of vocabulary or you'll be looking up every other word in a dictionary =P

I guess the difference between terrorist and freedom fighter depends on whether you are on the winning side.

Or who's writing the history. I bet America's history of our revolution is completely different from the British version. Then again, there's no comparing our revolution which was brought on by the people and not some foreign government and what's going on in Iraq.

What does that book or the American revolution have to do with terrorists whining that they didn't get interviewed? I don't see the connection.

Higher Logic

I was replying to killer's comment about how a terrorist to one person is a freedom fighter to another; just like in our revolution the future Americans were considered terrorists to the Brits but patriots to those here. It's all perspective.

Sorry, I've been trying to ignore Killer's comments. He refuses to answer direct questions and lies at will, so I'm starting to gloss over his posts.

was merely stating his opinion that the Palestinian point of veiw was not as well represented as it could have been, and that the film was perhap's biased.

As the planner of the action's taken by the Palestinian's, he would have an insite that would of certainly added to the film.
The British press during our Revolutionary War were widely quoted as calling the colonist's terrorist's,so in my opinion, I don't think it's too far off.
As far as Munich is concerned, I have as yet not studied the incident, but if memory serves me, the death's were not instigated by the terrorist's.

The statement about the atheletes being soldier's is at least partly true as it is mandatory to do military service in Israel. Of course, the school teacher's carry machine gun's too.

Real rough school's...
