Related: About this forumFrench Jews oppose Cannes film defending Munich terrorists
Cannes just lost their fucking minds.
The murder and sexual torture of Israeli athletes just isn't enough to dissuade Cannes from calling psychotic terrorists "heroes".
Munich: A Palestinian Story by director Nasri Hajjaj claims German police, not Palestinian hostage-takers, killed Israeli athletes at 1972 Olympics
....The film depicts as freedom fighters Palestinians who during the Summer Olympics in Munich in 1972 are believed to have shot and killed at least two of 11 Israeli athletes they took hostage. It wrongly accuses German police of the killings, Cukierman said in the letter.
Directed by Nasri Hajjaj, Munich is part of a partnership between the Cannes Film Festival, which is one of the most important events in cinema, and the Dubai International Film Festival. This year for the first time, the Dubai festival sent a selection of Arab films, including the one about Munich, to Canness Le Marche du Film a platform for international cinema that takes place alongside Cannes.
On Sept. 4, 1972, eight terrorists from the Black September movement broke into the living quarters of the Israeli delegation to the Olympics. Wrestling coach Moshe Weinberg and champion weightlifter Yossef Romano were killed resisting the attackers, according to The Independent. Romanos body was mutilated. His genitals were cut off, possibly after his death, according to The New York Times.

Israel does not invite goyim ex military to bring a rifle and stand a post with them for several months at a time.
I would be proud to do so.

I can't imagine why Israel would have a problem with the French leading a "peace" delegation.
