Ideas of nationalism were displayed when the Palestinians took the Israeli athletes as prisoners. It may not seem like it was to us or other viewers, but the Palestinians were looked at as doing a good deed for their country and they were very proud of it. Other forms of nationalism took place with the athletes that participated in olympics. They all looked at it as playing for their country and that its a big deal to succeed because if they didn't they might be looked down upon. Besides for the explanation of the whole situation in class i think it would have been helpful to have put something about the two countries history with each other. Sports wasn't really the main issue with this, I think the Palestinians used this because it was a big event and they would be able to let their voices be heard with the recent struggles between these countries. From this movie you could see the different forms of nationalism being used, though it may not have looked like the right thing to do but the Palestinians were still showing signs of nationalism for their country.
