Munich Page #2

hopes and our worst fears...

are seldom realized. Our worst

fears have been realized tonight.

They've now said that

there were 11 hostages.

Two were killed

in their rooms...

yesterday morning.

Nine were killed

at the airport tonight.

They're all gone.

...before a quiet

crowd of 80,000.

After the ceremony,

the surviving team...

saw the coffins

of their fallen comrades...

loaded onto an airplane

to bring them home together.

Enormous crowds also gathered

on Dizengoff Street...

and in Jerusalem on the plaza

in front of the Knesset.

People are weeping,

tearing their clothes.

The funerals, which will be

held tomorrow in Jerusalem...

are expected to draw

tens of thousands of mourners.

These are the names of the

members of the Israeli team...

at the Munich Olympics,

who were held hostage...

beaten, and finally murdered

by Arab terrorists.

Yosef Gottfreund.

Eliezaar Halfen.

Yakov Springer.

Dr. Wadi Haddad.

Abu Daoud.

Mahmoud Hamshari.

Andre Spitzer.

Zeev Friedman.

Kehat Schur.

Wael Zwaiter.

Dr. Basil al-Kubaisi.

Kamal Nasser.

Mark Slavin.

Amitzur Shapira.

David Berger.

Kemal Adwan.

Abu Youssef.

Mohammed Boudia.

Yosef Romano.

Moshe Weinberg.

Hussein al-Chir.

Ali Hassan Salameh.

As all of Israel mourns, of

course everyone says prayers...

for the people...

I tried not to think

about you, but I couldn't.

...a very private, terrible grief

in the days and years to come.

I have the world's most boring

job. What's going to happen to me?

Well, they were just athletes.

They went to the Olympics.

Look what happened

to them.

What now?

Now we're going

to have a baby.

Eleven names.

Give us the order,

and we'll begin.

It's the same as Eichmann.

We say to these butchers:

"You didn't want

to share this world with us...

"then we don't have

to share this world with you. "

There's legitimacy for this.

Am I correct?

Ambushed

and slaughtered again...

while the rest of the world is

playing games, Olympic torches...

and brass bands

and dead Jews in Germany.

And the world

couldn't care less.

We've responded.

We sent 70 fighter jets.

A response no one heard.

Air strikes on guerrilla training

centers. That's a response.

No one notices what happens

in the border camps.

Sixty Arabs dead, at least.

Who knows how many wounded.

This is about fixing

the world's attention.

Well, it's not just

a publicity stunt.

Let me remind you.

Ali Hassan Salameh,

he invented Black September.

He is the architect

of the Munich murders.

These people.

They're sworn to destroy us.

Forget peace for now.

We have to show them

we're strong.

We have laws,

we represent civilization.
