The Israel Olympic Committee denies this. If it is accurate, however, that the ceremony is being held in secret due to threats, it would be a clear indication that a half-century later, the jihadis have prevailed.
“Paris memorial for 1972 Olympics massacre to be held in secret over threats – report,” Times of Israel, July 14, 2024:
The memorial ceremony at the upcoming Paris games for the victims of the 1972 Munich Olympics terror attack will reportedly be held outside of the Olympic Village in a secret location, due to concerns that it may be targeted by extremists, given heightened antisemitic and anti-Israel sentiment.
According to the Hebrew news outlet Israel Hayom, the ceremony was originally scheduled for July 24 at the Paris City Hall, but was canceled due to security concerns. Instead, an alternate smaller ceremony will be held with fewer attendees at a location that will not be disclosed to the public, the report stated.
The Israel Olympic Committee refuted the report that the ceremony was moved due to threats, saying it was nothing more than a logistical issue, as specific permits needed to hold the event at the City Hall could not be issued in the days before the Olympics opening ceremony.
“Due to the delegation’s tight schedule, it was decided to hold the ceremony, in coordination with International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach, in its full format on August 6 in another location,” the committee said. “Claims that the ceremony is underground or that it was moved due to any specific security alerts, or that canceling it was considered are fundamentally false claims.”
The memorial ceremony for the victims of the attack at the Munich Olympics, when eight members of the Palestinian militant organization Black September infiltrated the Olympic village and killed 11 Israelis, was held for the first time during the Tokyo 2020 games….

Here they are surrendering to muslims. I’m beginning to think the cheese- eating surrender monkeys insults may hold some truth.
The Germans appear to be repeating their own dark history, as they have shut down “right-wing” Compact media for, the government says, hate speech. The outlet itself says it’s because they publish information about migrant crimes. Use #Compact to see video of the police seizing apparently highly dangerous and offensive office furniture.

A defeat ! Being compelled to hold such a ceremony in secret makes it meaningless.

I said to many folks that Oct. 7th reminded me of the ’72 Olympics except number of dead. It’s haunting. I still cannot see how the young think terrorists are a thing to support. I will never get the memories of that summer out of my mind & topping it w/ the Oct. 7 catastrophe just compounds the sorrow. These terrorists are like a lead weight on societies heart. Bless all their victims, may God keep them & protect us all.

I was in the building next to that guy in the face mask on the Balcony.
We were told to get out fast and so we thought there was a fire and only later learned the truth.
I was in love with a beautiful young woman from Tel Aviv at that time, I was 27, and one of the Israeli Athletes was her childhood sweetheart but she didnt know he was there until she visited the Israeli Team as she was their Translator…
She went to pieces crying non stop and then flew back home.
I will never be able to forgive those bastards for what they did at the Munich Games and cheered when I watched the movie Munich as I would have shot the fuckers myself.
islamism is the new nazism.. fuck islam.
