Munich Massacre - Peace and War

Just finished watching Spielberg's "Munich," yet another thoroughly American film, and it feels very sad. After the Munich massacre, the Israelis took all possible measures to retaliate against the Palestinian organization-Black September, 11 leaders did not escape from the Mossad's hands in the end. And the movie "Munich" made me sicker the more I watched it, because he once again promoted the universal view of the United States. It is difficult for a country that has never had a war within its borders since the Civil War to understand the tragic fate of a nation with a history of blood and tears. Perhaps, as Adam Smith said, the passion of grief can be felt by bystanders far less than As much as the parties can feel, there is a long distance in the middle. People have no sympathy for the excessive grief of others, so he will not understand you, and will even resent the resentful passion that is in you.

After criticizing the pseudo-philanthropy of the United States, let us see that all the nations of the world have experienced such a multiple-choice question - peace or war. After more than 2,000 years of wandering around the world, Jews finally established Israel in 1948. Just as the mother of the hero of "Munich" said, from now on the Jews have a corner on the earth, from then on they have a home, and from now on they don't have to go wandering. A nation that loves its own country and land so much, a Mossad warrior who is loyal to the country, and an assassin who is on a mission to avenge 11 people, would give up his mission, his country, and his own in the end. Nation, this is simply a false proposition in logic, a complete flaw, an American-style adult fairy tale.

In today's world, this battle is still taking place in the world. Gaddafi has just died, the United States has just solved Osama bin Laden, and Somali pirates are doing their worthless business. In fact, all of this is for survival, for myself, for my family, and for my children. Louis' father said that our unremitting efforts only replaced the Bofei government with the Charles de Gaulle government and the Nazis into the Soviet Union and the United States, and nothing has changed in this world.

The choices a person faces are nothing more than good and bad, a country chooses peace and war, but a nation faces a heavy choice of survival and death. In this world, is there any nation that can endure that its descendants have no roots, and have been wandering in this world since then, disappearing in the rolling waves.

Finally, to borrow a quote from Shakespeare:

to be, or not to be, that's question
