The Entebbe raid for example would have made a far better movie- aside from the fact that the IDF sayeret involved pulled off one of the greatest special forces operations ever, it was also a raid in which Yonni Netanyahu, Benjamin's brother was killed and former prime minister Ehud Barak was involved. In addition it was in Uganda! Surely all these factors would have made for an action packed political statement of far more varacity than 'Munich'.
I think Spielberg has deliberately tried to market a film as a documentary-he's intersted in making money with the 'based on true events line' more than making a political statement. With all due respects to the author of the article-lighten up.
