It is worse than that. After Israeli Mossad found the terrorists, and informed the German, Italian, French governments, they refused to do anything, and even warned the terrorists that Mossad had located them.
Only then, faced with active cooperation of European Governments with evil, did Golda Meir direct the activation of the Mossad operation.
Old Europe can not be trusted. Not then, not now. I'm still reeling over the Lufthansa hijacking information that I never knew before.
