What was the most memorable moment of the Munich Summer Olympics of 1972?

For most people — not just Jews — those games are recalled with horror as the Munich Massacre.

Ten days after the opening ceremonies, members of the Palestinian terrorist group Black September murdered 11 Israeli athletes and coaches.

After slipping into their apartment, the terrorists took nine hostages and killed wrestling coach Moshe Weinberg and weightlifter Yossef Romano, who fought back against the attackers.

The games went on, but the world’s press shifted to cover the hostage crisis — the first time a terrorist incident reached a global audience on live TV.

Bella Hadid says she wouldn't have taken part in Adidas ad campaign had she known connection to 1972 Olympic attack

TheDailyBeast

Bella Hadid said her team and Adidas “should have done more research” into a shoe ad campaign she starred in that referenced the 1972 Munich Olympics. In an Instagram story on Monday, the supermodel added that she was not aware of the tragedy behind the Munich Olympics, during which a Palestinian militant group killed 11 Israeli athletes and a German police officer. The model said she would “never knowingly engage with any art or work that is linked to a horrific tragedy of any kind,” reported The Washington Post. Adidas was criticized for having Hadid, who is half Palestinian, star in the ad. In her message, Hadid said she does not support hate “in any form.” That includes “antisemitism,” she wrote. “That will never waver, and I stand by that statement to the fullest extent.” Responding to the backlash, Adidas apologized for “any upset or distress” and announced that it would be “revising” the rest of the ad campaign.Read it at The Washington PostRead more at The Daily Beast.
