The New York Times today reveals the core of Steven Spielberg’s now-filming movie about the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics isn’t the massacre itself — but rather the aftermath, when the Mossad was tasked with tracking down and assassinating the terrorists and their masters who committed the barbaric act. Needless to say, the movie won’t be a celebration of Israel’s determination to hunt down the monsters who killed 11 kids solely for the crime of being Jewish and Israelis, but will rather be about how the assassins suffered and felt remorse and don’t know if they did the right thing blah blah blah. Why tell this story now? You have to think it’s because America has now joined Israel in the policy of targeted assassinations, and it offends the sensibilities of our Steven, who only likes America at war when it happens before his birth.
