Mossad Commando Explains Munich Massacre.
Episode summary

This one-minute clip from the Danny Jones Podcast focuses on a guest’s account of Israel’s response to the 1972 Munich Olympics attack, where 11 Israeli athletes were killed. The guest, not identified in the provided transcript but presented by the episode title as a “Mossad commando”, says then-Prime Minister Golda Meir decided to “avenge” the killings by sending a message to terrorists that Israel would pursue perpetrators “individually for as long as it takes”. He claims Meir authorised the creation of a five-person commando unit that would go undercover in Europe, live in safe houses, and track down those responsible over a period of “3 and 1/2 years”.

The speaker says he was assigned to lead the team and that they “did find them one by one and brought them to justice” across multiple countries and cities, a phrase he does not further define in the clip. He also states that during the mission he lost three members of his own team, and that only he and one other survived to the end. He says the two then decided to quit, adding that Mossad “suddenly had more list of people that they wanted to get rid” — implying an expanded targeting list beyond the initial Munich perpetrators. The excerpt offers no corroborating detail such as names, dates, operational specifics, or documentary evidence, and the speaker’s identity is not provided in the transcript.
