Purpose of the attack

As previously stated the attack occurred in Munich, Germany. There is no real connection between Black September and Germany, but one could only assume that Black September had to 'act out' on behalf of the Palestinian people. For years, the Palestinians were suffering under Israeli rule, Ever since Israel took over the original land which at the time belonged to Palestine, the Palestinians have endured nothing but hardship. One theory for the Munich Massacre is that since no one was noticing the horrendous conditions which the Palestinian people were living in, since no one was noticing the daily death of Palestinians, someone had to act out; it didn't matter who but they had to get Palestinians on the 'Big Screen.' It was Black September who had strategically planned the attack on Israeli athletes in Germany in order for the world to give the Palestinians some publicity, it didn't matter whether it was bad or good. The attack occurred and suddenly Palestine got the attention it was longing for. Black September's demands for the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons also helped the Palestinian's cause. Now all of a sudden, the attention of the whole world was turned to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - since for years it seems that everyone has just turned a blind eye. Black September had perpetrated that attack strategically, not for pure revenge. The terrorists demanded the release and safe passage to Egypt of 234 Palestinians and non-Arabs jailed in Israel, along with two German radicals held by the German penitentiary system, Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, who were founders of the German Red Army Faction. The hostage-takers threw the body of Weinberg out the front door of the residence to demonstrate their resolve. Israel's response was immediate and absolute: there would be no negotiation.
