@liamomaraiv.bsky.socialIn the #MunichMassacre, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1972, a #Palestinian militant group called #BlackSeptember (named for the Jordanian civil war) attacked the Israeli athletes at the #MunichOlympicGames. Two died in the attack, and the other nine were killed during a botched rescue.
