"It is possible to enjoy Steven Spielberg's new film, Munich, as a thriller. But there are two important points that it does not make...moral distinction... to intentionally kill civilians. ...the conduct of the German authorities in Munich and the attitude of the International Olympic Committee.Michael Sexton is the NSW Solicitor-General.
The whole episode was a reminder to the Israelis of something they already knew: that they could expect no sympathy in Germany and little in the international community generally. Spielberg's film is careful to make no moral judgments. That is his choice, but its audiences need to be aware of the historical realities."
