I didn't know much about his event before I watched the video and was shocked to see how some groups try to show nationalism. The only positive type of nationalism I saw was the athletes competing and representing there country in the Olympic Games. The Germans tried to use these games as a way to promote the new Germany to the rest of the world after what had happened there in previous years. They also set up the hijacking the clear there name from any possible future problems that would have existed. The Palestinians wanted to get there message out to the world and knew this would be a stage the whole world would be watching. It was sickening to watch the dead terrorists get a heroes welcome home and also when the only remaining living terrorist said he was proud of what he did. Those terrorists thought what they were doing was right though based on the history between the Israelis and them. It seemed that much of the nationalism in the video was based more on politics and power and not just showing pride in their country.
