A flagrant violation of truth and morality

Rating: 1/10 (19 January 2006)

Mr. Spielberg and his accomplice, Tony Kushner, using an egregiously dishonest book, Vengeance, as the basis for their film have committed the sin of moral equivalence in their naieve reading of history and of fact. Munich has done a great disservice to the cause of peace between Israel and the Palestinians as it has fudged the truth on the fact of terrorism and has neglected to understand the underlying existence of evil on the part of those who would commit terror against innocent civilians. Imagine if you will, using the same thesis in making a film about the perpetrators of 9/11, Spielberg and Kushner would attempt to humanize the terrorists who wreaked havoc on that day with those who died at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9/11.
The cause of terrorism has been given a status of nobility by Munich that is despicable and unworthy of decent, moral people.
