The Israeli athletes murdered by the PLO in the 1972 Munich Olympic Games knew of the impending attacks, but decided to remain anyway, according to a new report.
German Professor Arnold Krüger, in a recent lecture at the University of Guttingen, claims that the Jewish athletes knew their lives were in danger because of "Olympic village's poor security," but decided to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their country and stay on the premises.
Prof. Krüger compared the decision made by the sportsmen to stay in the Olympic village despite the known threat to their safety to the decision made by the Jews to stay in Hevron during the 1929 Arab riots.
