"Long-Hidden Details Reveal Cruelty of 1972 Munich Attackers."

The NYT reports:
“What they did is that they cut off his genitals through his underwear and abused him,” Ms. Romano said of her husband, Yossef. Her voice rose. “Can you imagine the nine others sitting around tied up?” she continued, speaking in Hebrew through a translator. “They watched this.”...

Mr. Romano, a champion weight lifter, was shot when he tried to overpower the terrorists early in the attack. He was then left to die in front of the other hostages and castrated....

“The moment I saw the photos, it was very painful,” Ms. Romano said. “I remembered until that day Yossef as a young man with a big smile. I remembered his dimples until that moment.” She hesitated. “At that moment, it erased the entire Yossi that I knew,” she said.

The Germans knew all of this when they staged that hi-jacking to let them free.

Lyle Smith said...

Who knew people, other than white people, could be so cruel.

Tim said...

Lets import some Syrians!

traditionalguy said...

These are the same guys who joyously hooted and hollered and danced in their neighborhood streets when the Twin Towers were brought down by Jihadists.

And what they do to captured Jews is what they also have planned for every American infidel, with Obama's help.

Who would be so cruel as to show those kinds of photographs to a wife, or anyone who loved the victim?

The NYT reports:


Does anyone doubt for a second that even if the NYT new these details then, that they would not have sat on them? To the Times, "no terrorist is guilty and no Jew is innocent". That is how they roll.

Jim Gust said...

These facts deserve much more publicity. I'm frankly surprised that the NYTimes didn't spike this story.

Garage will be along shortly to explain how this was done -courageously- by the attackers.

ARMeltdown will explain how this is all a result of colonialism.

And Cookie will explain how it was really Reagan's fault due to his rhetoric from his GE Theatre days.

And then the discussion will evolve to making sure we let as many of these types into our nation as fast as possible.

Remember, it's just as important to fight the terrorist sympathizers at home.

So either you are in the army or you're not interested in opposing terrorism. And by "you," I mean you, pvt. mahal.

Not to worry. As soon as they get a Palestinian state, such cruelty will stop and Pals will be pals with the Jews.

I blame Bush, if we had only not invaded Iraq.

I could care less if we are "fighting" terrorism iverseas. Chances it effects me is astronomically low. Terrorism wouldn't make the 50 things I'm concerned about. I say cut trillions from that pork fest.

holdfast said...

But remember, Israel was wrong for hunting these depraved creatures and putting them down (with far more decency than they showed their victims) - Spielberg and Daniel Craig told me so!

From Wiki: "After the death of her son, [Yossef] Romano's mother committed suicide. Several years later his brother did as well."

Me me me me.

What about the thousands of victims who suffer under it? ISIS rapes women by the score; cuts off heads?

It's odd how many on the left accuses others of hating Islam while thousands of Muslims suffer horrendously and the left says "Not my problem."





William said...

This is extremely ghastly, but that's how much colonialism debases a subject people. In other words, it's all the fault of the Israelis. Sarc/off.......This seems to have been publicized less than those photos of Abu Ghraib prisoners although it's a far greater atrocity. How come? Can the Palestinians or, for that matter, any third world nationalist organization commit an atrocity that would cause them to lose support from the radical left?

Monkeyboy said...

Having a familiarity with photos of the violent dead (work related) I can't imagine seeing photos of a loved one like that.
I agree with Sidney - who would show that to a loved one?

exhelodrvr1 said...

Palestinians would be considered moderate Muslims, right?

exhelodrvr1 said...

garage,
Does that logic apply to everything, or just terrorism?

Freeman Hunt said...

Don't worry; it's not their ideas that matter because all ideas are equally true and have the same value. It was their hard lives that made them castrate a guy.

Joe said...

There is also evidence that Germany was given concrete evidence of a Palestinian attack during the Olympics from days to weeks before the Olympics and did nothing.

It gets worse. Apparently the German government had a policy of appeasement with Palestinian terrorist organizations to prevent further attacks on their soil. (There have long been accusations that the October 72 Lufthansa hijacking was a German planned operation used as an excuse to let three of the Olympic terrorists go.)

Largest terror attack in Wisconsin was from a white supremacist who thought Muslims wear turbans.

In other words, if you want to influence foreign affairs, join the military. We live in a military dictatorship, after all. Civilians with opinions are just cowards unwilling to join (or rejoin) the military ranks.

jimbino said...

There were plenty of Southern Cone Latinos who celebrated the events of 9/11/200 -- if only because of war-criminal Henry Kissinger and the Amerikan regime that conspired to assure the disappearances of tens of thousands of our young people. None of this had anything to do with Muslims and everything to do with domestic Fascists.

I know that no terrorist will bother you in your double wide but if you don't think a terror attack here will effect you, you are dumber than I thought. Which I didn't think was possible.

Skeptical Voter said...

Ah Garage--as big a narcissist as our commander in chief.

I'm reminded of what Kris Kristoferson once said to Peter Gruber [?] (improbable as it may seem Kris and Peter were fighting over the affections of Barbara Streisand at the time--sort of like fighting over a plastic toy in a box of Crackerjack).

To quote Kristofferson, "Garage, any time I want any sh#t from you, I'll just squeeze your head." But you go Garage.

Then again, you thought that Dane County could secede from the rest of the state and be just fine.

Photos and details were concealed for years lest they provoke sympathy for Israelis. The NYT must have had a brief lapse.

"If you advocate fighting terrorists, visit goarmy.com first. If it's that important, you'll do it yourself."

But Garage, I don't advocate fighting terrorists. I advocate fighting weasely little surrender-maggots like you. You're the real problem. If we Americans could just get rid of you lefties, we'd make short work of any terrorists still crawling around.

Brando said...

"Can the Palestinians or, for that matter, any third world nationalist organization commit an atrocity that would cause them to lose support from the radical left?"

They could lose support from the "liberal left" but the "radical left" is simply not capable of finding fault with any act, no matter how vile, committed by their oppressed fetish class, especially when committed against the oppressor class. Jews became the "oppressor" class the minute they established Israel.

steve uhr said...

Garage. I would be curious to know the fifty things more important to you than global terrorism. Maybe you could give me 40 - 50

"Chances it effects me is astronomically low"

So we can kiss off anything that doesn't directly affect us? Sweet!

Tarrou said...

@ the commenter whining about people not fighting.

I did. For a decade. And when the injuries I sustained made continuing my chosen profession untenable, I took my promotion to "Mr." and became a civilian again. Now I slap down terrorist sympathizers like you in my spare time, just for fun. I had more respect for the goat-diddling denizens of the Korangel than I do for slimy psuedo-intellectual turncoats like you.

garage mahal said...

"I advocate fighting weasely little surrender-maggots like you. You're the real problem"

No, the problem is pants - pissers like you that jump after seeing their own shadow. So that means more mindless spending of trillions in pork, more surveillance and less civil liberties of everyone here, more crumbling and erosion of this country to pay for it. All so you can "feel safe"

I blame global warming, and our President would agree with me.

steve uhr said...

Garage -- Someone much smarter than you once said the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. That is what the war against Islamic terror is all about. They want to stamp out the civil liberties you claim to care so dearly about. It is more important than your toenail fungus.

You're fighting terrorists in the streets? Where do you live? The only fight taking place is which grifting defense contractor can turn you upside down and shake the most money out of you.

I served from 1976 until my retirement in 2000. How did you serve to protect the Republic?

Sigivald said...

Garage said: If you advocate fighting terrorists, visit goarmy.com first. If it's that important, you'll do it yourself.

How can we? We're all also too busy being firefighters and policemen and teachers because those are also super important.

Sorry, bad-arugment-guy; it doesn't follow that everyone who wants something done by the agency of the State must therefore try to do it themselves.

("If it's so important that we have social service X, donate your own money" is actually a better argument.

Why?

Because the Army is full of volunteers, but you have to pay taxes to pay for "whatever other people want to spend it on" whether you want to or not.

Arguments against fighting terrorists "because I don't want to apy for that" are perfectly legitimate, then.

Demands that "you have to do it if you want that" will be accepted only once every part of government action is entirely voluntary on those proposing it, rather than a universal obligation "Because Government".

PICK ONE.

I'd be happy to trade "fighting terrorism" in to get "a purely voluntarist State" - somehow I think you wouldn't, eh?)

garage mahal said...

I didn't. Nor did I ask you to serve to "protect" me. I'm perfectly happy protecting myself against Koreans, Vietnamese, Nicaraguans, Iraqis (twice), Afghans, Libyans, Syrians, etc etc etc.

I am perfectly happy protecting myself against poverty - can I keep the money I pay for Obamacare, medicare, Medicaid, social security, foodstamps, subsidized housing, student loans, etc?

This is consistent with your position, right?

Jupiter said...

I apologize for allowing Garage to get my goat. It saddens me to think of what he'll do to the poor creature, but it can't be helped. I should have stopped to think before I hit that fatal enter key.

I'm still trying to locate the "garage provision" in the oath that military members take.

Oddly enough, it's not to be found anywhere. Of course, when you hide out in the back woods of WI and wait for your next handout, it's not easy to get noticed.

So there's that excuse.

See, righ there is how the terrorists -9/11- affected you.

Questions for which the answer is already well established without bothering to ask.

Douglas B. Levene said...

William asks, "Can the Palestinians or, for that matter, any third world nationalist organization commit an atrocity that would cause them to lose support from the radical left?" The answer is No. The same answer applies to squishy liberals as well as to the radical left. The only way to lose the support of the left is to question its absolute moral authenticity. That makes you dirt to be kicked to the curb.

You are content to benefit from the exertions and sacrifice of others, making little or no contribution to the safety of the society that protects you. Typical of the little man with the big mouth.
