Just two weeks before the opening of the current Winter Olympics, the Palestinian Authority's ruling party chose to revive and celebrate the most infamous act of Olympic terrorism in history—the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre in which 11 Israeli athletes and coaches were murdered.

Fatah's Commission of Information and Culture on its Facebook page posted a segment from its Awdah TV channel glorifying the massacre as "a surprise Israel had not experienced before" and recounting how terrorists, whom she called "self-sacrificing fighters," infiltrated the Olympic Village, seized Israeli hostages, and issued demands. Responsibility for the murders was subtly shifted away from the terrorists, while the operation was presented as daring and historic.
