In my opinion there were two different aspects of nationalism in this video. The first being the Olympic games. Various countries from around the world coming together to not only compete against each other, but also compete with each other. This is suppose to be a time of peace and friendly competition, uniting the world. The art of sport can bring the world together at any time and it is seen through the olympics. Each nation is competing and giving their best efforts to win pride and excellence for their country. The athletes work very hard and are motivated by the efforts to support their nation any way they can.

However, the Palestinians did not see it as a time to bring everyone together, they saw this as an opportunity to put themselves and their nation on the global stage. By committing the acts that they did, they brought attention to themselves and felt as though they had a strong sense of nationalism by "fighting" for their country. In addition, the act they committed put others in danger which is the opposite goal of the Olympics. The fact that the Palestians struck fear into the hostages and members of the family and nation was definitely a sense of nationalism, but it had a negative affect on surrounding individuals, resulting in loss of lives and horrific memories. The Palestinians felt this was the best way to represent their people and felt as though violence was the answer to solving their problems. Unfortuantely, the fighting still continues and the violence did not solve any problems but instead, caused more hardships.
