Making of Schindler's list and setting up Shoah foundation; which filmed disturbing tales from Holocaust survivors portrayed Spielberg as an ultra Zionist by most. The view after Munich has somewhat changed and most American and Israeli Jews criticized the movie and labeled it as portraying Israeli's as murderers while popular belief amongst Jews is that of retaliation. There is the hit squad, Bombs used in beds, in cars and even in phones with gruesome gun fights and cold blood executions by Mossad operatives representing Jews as killers.
A neutral viewer may argue that the movie lacked details on Palestinian terrorists portrayed only as targets rather than human beings with feelings.
Spielberg managed to deliver what the news media missed. No spice but reality, mistakes and regrets by both sides. He managed to explain what impact this event had on the bystanders during and after the Munich Olympics and how both the parties managed to worsen the situation by being aggressive.
The movie Munich starts off with the Munich massacre, continues with the targeted killings by Mossad operatives while doing so it shows us the changing human behavior of each operative and in the end the human element prevails.
Another major addition to stories told about Munich Olympics 1972 is 1972 Munich Olympic Games, the: Bud Greenspan Remembers. Now where the tales from news media were based on mere hype and biased portray of society and Spielberg's work represents what every character personally involved in the story felt, Greenspan told us what EXACTLY happened there. Greenspan was there in the Olympics for the event coverage where he was caught in the middle of this attack. The work of Greenspan was aired in 2002 and contained the actual footages of people at Munich in 1972. Also it contains the highlights of the Olympics coupled with the interviews of audience there and relatives of people who died. The whole documentary was based on facts with no fiction or hype involved, surrounded around main event, the Olympics, how the disruption occurred and how people reacted to its outcomes. It was a simple piece of work with clean approach.
If we look into the way media around us, has portrayed what happened at Munich Olympics in 1972, substantial differences will be found in every approach. The news contained the hype, juice, suspense, and flawed information rather than truth. Spielberg's work was based on human psychology irrespective of religion...
Media needs to attend to its responsibility of not playing with its audience and provide them with truth, nothing but truth not subjected to any objective approach, free from bias.

Mass Media Promotes Democracy The journalistic side of the twentieth century can be defined as the struggle for democracy and an independent media against propaganda and subservience to the state. That struggle culminated during the first half of this century in the seizure of the means of communication by the demagogues of the 1930s and 1940s -- Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin -- and their Cold War reincarnation of the 1950s,
There is a definite chance that both parties could resolve the prolonged conflict successfully if they find and act on ways to be in command of their shared lack of trust. On the other hand, if the conflict is seen in terms of a neoliberal point-of-view, Israel's military efficiency and powerfulness is a great threat for Israelis. To cut a long story short, the main goal on which all

My introductory thesis is whether the use of new journalism tendencies as opposed to objective reporting compromises the credibility of Sacco's book on the Israeli-Palestine war. Sacco's use of New Journalism New Journalism is literary reporting style used by most comic and mainstream journalists. It encompasses three major sub-braches; intensive
Hezbollah's History, Ideology, Goals And Operational Capabilities The recent wave of anti-American demonstrations in Egypt and the murder of an American ambassador and three embassy staff workers in Libya makes it clear that America's global war on terrorism has simply fueled the growth of numerous terrorist organizations, including Lebanon's Hezbollah. Nevertheless, representatives of Hezbollah argue that they are not a terrorist organization but rather a political party with legitimate goals, while
U.S. Policy and the War on Terror: An Ineffective Strategy Since 9/11 the U.S. government has pursued a policy of combating terrorism with all of its resources (intelligence, technology, military, economic sanctions, etc.). However, the question remains, nearly a decade and a half later, with terror attacks occurring more and more frequently around the world, whether the U.S. has been effective in its countering of terrorism. According to various studies, it
