IF I WERE THE ISRAELIS, I’D BE KEEPING THIS VERY MUCH IN MIND: Germany’s Secret Contacts to Palestinian Terrorists. “Eleven Israelis and one German police officer died in the Munich massacre of 1972, when Palestinian terrorists took Israeli athletes hostage at the Olympics. Now, government documents suggest that Germany maintained secret contacts with the organizers of the attack for years afterward and appeased the Palestinians to prevent further bloodshed on German soil.”

For that matter, if I were anyone anywhere wanting to manipulate the Germans, I’d keep it in mind, too.
