Abstract

The main purpose of the research is to analyze the historical event of the attempts to protest the non-suspension of the Olympic Games in Munich in 1972 after the Israeli athletes were killed. The structure of the article is as follows: 1. Introduction: When do our greatest fears come true? 2. Notifications about the attack; 3. The assassination and the dead athletes; 4. The reactions after the attack; 5. The reactions in the following years. The right to protest is an expression of publicity and communication in the community when the relationship between free civil law, civil defense and civil choice is compromised. Problems in the world and human life is everything, but there seems to be a spectacular problem in human life like terrorism, as of now, even though countless words have been said and strenuous security measures have been taken - no critical protests? The text of this report is dedicated to the memory of the tortured athletes, in the terrorist attack that was carried out on September 5, 1972 at the opening of the 20th Summer Olympics in Munich. The protest that did not reach its peak after the terrorist act on September 5, 1972, somehow was always silenced after that, in every attempt, again and again, to destroy the peace of society, with the violence of the terrorist impulse, with every assassination attempt. Thus, with the globalization of the world, as the opportunities before humanity increase, so do the risks.
