From Christians for Truth:
Families Of 1972 Munich Olympic Terror Attack Threaten To Boycott Anniversary Unless Germany Coughs Up 'Normal' Compensation

Who would have ever predicted that the family members of Jews who were killed — allegedly by the Palestinian terror group Black September 50 years ago at the Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany — are now demanding up to ten times what they originally agreed upon in compensation 20 years ago?

Families of the Israeli coaches and athletes murdered by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany, are threatening to not attend the 50th anniversary commemoration of the massacre until a longstanding dispute over compensation is resolved.

"None of us will come unless the question of compensation is finally clarified," said Ankie Spitzer, spokesperson for the families, as reported by the German-language publication Süddeutsche Zeitung over the weekend.

Her late husband, Andre Spitzer, was one of 11 Israeli coaches and athletes killed after the Palestinian terrorist group Black September stormed the Olympic Village on September 5, 1972. The group shot dead two members of Israel's Olympic team early in the assault, while the remaining 9 hostages were killed during a failed German rescue attempt, along with one German police officer.

The city of Munich is planning a series of events and exhibitions to commemorate the massacre this year, with each month dedicated to one of the 12 victims. Munich will additionally host the 2022 European Championships from August 11-21, which will be the largest sporting event in Germany since the 1972 Summer Olympics. The upcoming competition will take place in the Olympic Park, the same location where the Olympic Games were held.

In 2002, Germany paid $2.98 million in compensation to relatives of the Israeli victims of the attack, even though the families demanded $29 million and an apology. Spitzer said the families have been asking for years for "normal compensation according to international standards," Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.

The families cited as an example the $10 million compensation paid per victim to the relatives of those killed in the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am flight that exploded over Scotland, killing 270 people on board. Three Libyan intelligence operatives were charged in the bombing.

Despite the demands of the bereaved families, Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that the German government believes it is done compensating for the attack.

Let's call this what it really is — another Jewish shakedown of the German government — another cut of a thousand cuts, bleeding them dry under the guise of "reparations" for the so-called "Holocaust."

Why aren't the Israelis demanding $29 million per head from the supposed party responsible — the Palestinian Liberation Organization — for allegedly "inciting "Black September" into committing this act of terror?

Would this "terror" event in Munich have even taken place if the Israelis hadn't been ethnically cleansing the Palestinians from the land allotted to them by the original U.N. partition agreement in 1946?

And how did the German police somehow "fail" in their duties? — They tried to save as many of the hostages as possible, knowing full well that it would be a lose-lose situation for them as hosts of this event.

Of course, any Jewish life is "priceless" — but according to the aggrieved families, if they were forced to put a price on a Jewish life, $29 million wouldn't add insult to the injury. For now.

Some, however, find it inconceivable that the Israeli Mossad would have entrusted German Olympic security to protect the Israeli team without serious input — and given how the Mossad wages war through deception — many suspect that this terror attack had the classic makings of a false flag event.

Only four years later, another fishy Mossad operation unfolded at Entebbe — with more Jewish hostages, but with an outcome that Israel couldn't have wished for had it orchestrated the whole affair themselves.

Germany ups Munich massacre compensation offer after families brand it 'insulting'
The federal government increased their offer to the Israeli families by €20m
https://www.thejc.com/news/world/germany-ups-munich-massacre-compensation-offer-after-families-brand-it-insulting-4nVdOM649C1Dn5p40E3jfT?reloadTime=1661958666183

The Israeli families of the 1972 Munich Olympic massacre victims are set to receive massive compensation from Germany reported to be around 28 million euros.

The last-minute deal brokered by their Dutch lawyers came less than a week before next Monday's 50th-anniversary memorial service near Munich which many of the families said they would boycott in protest against a previous 5.4m euro offer they described as "insulting".

The breakthrough came after the German government, which as recently as May refused to budge on its offer, accepted that Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's Libya had helped to fund and organise the 1972 outrage carried out by the Black September terrorist group.

This meant that international standards of compensation applied which are far higher that German levels.

"Our advice now to the families is that they should accept the new offer," said their Amsterdam-based lawyer Professor Geert-Jan Alexander Knoops, an expert on international law. "It is a substantial improvement, and our advice would be to accept it and finalise and end this dramatic episode of 50 years ago.

"But it is up to them now. We have passed on the proposal to them and they all have to make a decision now, and, hopefully every one of them we sign. Then the German government has to sign the new agreement and the commemoration can take place next week."

Prof Knoops was approached in 2018 by Ankie Spitzer, widow of one of the Munich victims, fencing coach Andre Spitzer.

"The problem was that her claim was not possible any more because of the statutes of limitations under German law," he said.

"The issue of Libya was really crucial to the negotiations.

"We found our way to the UN Sanctions Committee in New York, and we prepared expert reports on the state responsibility of Libya. We suggested to the German and Israeli government that they file an application to the UN sanctions committee, to unfreeze the part of the Libyan assets which applies to Germany, which was $7 billion dollars just for Germany, and worldwide $70 billion, which has been unfrozen since 2011.

"The government of Israel at the UN was willing to follow up this suggestion, but not the German government."

In May, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said the issue was "legally too complicated", he went on.

"But our experts were able to demonstrate that Libya had actively facilitated and financed the Munich Olympic attack, so under international law, Libya is then responsible for the attack, and thus liable to pay civil compensation."

"Instead of just giving up, in July we filed two expert opinions. I also work as a defence counsel at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, and we were able to arrange a very important expert legal opinion, to be demonstrated to the German government, clearly stating that Libya was liable for the Munich massacre.

"The relevance of classifying this as an act of international terrorism, and not national terrorism, changed everything."

"We don't know exactly what went on behind the scenes, but this expert opinion was a very important factor to say to the German government that they should increase their offer."

Not all of the relatives were refusing to attend the memorial event. Eyal Shapira, son of murdered athletics coach Amitzur Shapira, said that while the issue of money needed clarification, it would not prevent him from going.

"I will go there, even if the issue of money has not been clarified by then," he said.

"I will come to say things. Yes, there is cause for compensation. I'm not an idiot who doesn't care about money. But that's no reason for me not to come."

The memorial event is being organised by the district of Fürstenfeldbruck, the Free State of Bavaria and the Federal Republic.

It will take place at Fürstenfeldbruck near Munich, the air base where the hostage-taking ended in a mass shootout.

Germany's Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his Israeli counterpart President Isaac Herzog are scheduled to attend.

Israeli families of Munich Olympics massacre victims agree to compensation deal with Germany, avoiding 50th anniversary ceremony boycott
https://www.jta.org/2022/09/01/global/israeli-families-of-munich-olympics-massacre-victims-agree-to-compensation-deal-with-germany-avoiding-50th-anniversary-ceremony-boycott

Days before a ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the Munich Olympics massacre, the Israeli victims' families have reached an agreement with Germany, avoiding a planned boycott.

Last month, the families of 11 victims of the 1972 attack threatened to boycott the Sept. 5 ceremony in Munich, calling Germany's compensation offer "a joke." According to The New York Times, Israeli President Isaac Herzog had planned to skip the ceremony as well.

The new agreement, announced Wednesday, brings the total compensation package to 28 million euros ($27.9 million), a substantial increase from Germany's previous offer of 10 million euros.

"The German government welcomes the fact that it has now been possible to reach an agreement with the relatives on an overall concept to mark the 50th anniversary," said a spokesman for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, according to the Times of Israel.

Herzog released a joint statement with his German counterpart, welcoming the news but acknowledging that "the agreement cannot heal all wounds."

"With this agreement, the German state acknowledges its responsibility and recognizes the terrible suffering of the murdered and their relatives, which we will commemorate next week," read the statement.

The German spokesman also outlined other details of the agreement. "This includes the reappraisal of the events by a commission of German and Israeli historians, the release of files in accordance with the law, the classification and acceptance of political responsibility within the framework of the commemoration ceremony, as well as the provision of further recognition services by the federal government, by the state of Bavaria and by the city of Munich," said the spokesman.

During the 1972 Olympics, eight members of the Palestinian terrorist group Back September took six coaches and five athletes from Israel's delegation hostage in their Olympic Village apartment, killing them during a failed rescue operation at a nearby airbase. The incident has been a source of tension in Israel and Germany's otherwise close relationship.

The International Olympic Committee held official ceremonies to commemorate the victims in 2016 and at last summer's opening ceremony.
