Munich 1972 and the Israeli Olympic team members

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Let’s take a break from the 2020 election and remember how the unexpected will always make its way on the front pages.

On Labor Day 1972, President Nixon looked like a man headed for reelection.  At the same time, I am not sure that people were predicting a 49-state sweep or winning the popular vote by 22 points.   
Then something happened at the Olympics and the world watched those horrific scenes from the Olympics in Munich:   9 Israeli hostages, 5 terrorists and one German policeman were killed.

How much did this incident impact the 1972 election?  It’s hard to say but it put experience and foreign policy in the minds of voters.  It was similar to that Beslan school shooting in 2004 in another presidential election.

Munich reminded us that terrorists knew no limits even young athletes in the Olympics.  It was the beginning of massive terror attacks, such as 9-11 here in the US.  Most of all, it reminded us that you never know what could happen in the next 60 days before an election.
