Abstract
A little more than halfway through Munich (Steven Spielberg, 2005), Hans (Hanns Zischler), a Mossad agent on a mission to assassinate Palestinian militant group Black September’s leadership, gets into a reflective mood on the ethical demands of his job. “In seven months, we’ve killed six of the 11 names,” he says, as fellow agent Avner Kaufman (Eric Bana) cooks an elaborate dinner on a stormy night. “We’ve killed one replacement. …One of our own has fallen. Since we began, the other side has sent letter bombs to 11 embassies, hijacked three planes, killed 130 passengers in Athens, and wounded scores more, and killed our military attaché in Washington. …Black September’s original leadership has been decimated. But new leaders are emerging for whom Black September wasn’t violent enough.”
