They're dead. Israel doled out retribution over 30 years ago. Hell, we protected one of the masterminds of the plot for nearly a full decade and wouldn't let the israelis touch him. (Salameh)

So why are we supposed to get our hackles up over this for? They're no more dead than if they WEREN'T castrated.

I agree. Stop living in the past, these crimes are over 40 years old. Holding on to crimes that did not happen to you personally that are over 40-50-150 years old leads to resentment (at the wrong people) and learned helplessness.

Time to move on.

Yeah, I read about this earlier today. Really sickening.

No doubt this atrocity was caused by anti-Muslim rhetoric. Just ask Obama or Kerry.

Well, that or an inflammatory movie about Muslims.

The thread title does NOT match up with what the article states.

That's fine, as long as we are consistent about it. That means we stop talking about reparations from slavery and end the concept of "white guilt" that so many liberals espouse.

And that advice only applies to Israelis and their supporters???? While the atrocities continue as opposed to other situations?


Everyone else please ignore the cap on atrocities and continue to hold on to your past, your victimhood depends on it.

I'm so sad the two widows had to find out after all these years such a horrible detail that their husbands' murders included castration by the Palestinian terrorists when taken hostage during the Olympics of 1972. At least one of the two athletes was reported to be possibly be alive when his genitals were cut off in front of his fellow athletes. Horrible image for a loved one....

Another article on this story:

That's not what the article states.
