Munich

Yesterday, Hugh Hewitt interviewed Danni Alon, a member of the 1972 Israeli Olympic team who survived the terrorist attack in Munich. Radioblogger has the transcript of the interview.

The interview was fairly short, as Hugh's interviews go, and Alon was soft-spoken, telling his story of the night the terrorists took the Israeli athletes, and then describing the 33 years since, when he didn't speak about it much.

Although Danni Alon says he is not a political guy, he ended with this, after Hugh thanked him for telling his story (emphasis added):

Thank you. Thank you for you, and I appreciate you Americans, what you're doing all over the world to stop the terror. And please continue doing it.

This from a man who understands terror up close, both from the 1972 Olympics and from life in Israel under the intifada. His words take on more meaning and have more impact.

We must not stop. Not until the terror stops.
