44 Years ago Today: Raid on Entebbe

Terrorists hijacked a plane and forced it to fly to Uganda.
One of the more chilling scenes was when German speaking terrorists separated the Jews from the rest of the passengers. Idi Amine granted protection to the terrorists as he made a mockery of international law.
The Israelis said frick all that and decided to go get their people. It turns out an Israeli company designed the airport. Israel got the plans, stalled, and planned a rescue led by Netanyahu's brother.
They got their people although Bibi's brother was killed. That's what friggin freedom is all about.
Documentary on Youtube
Youtube link of dramatization.

Israel knows how to respond to terrorism. We came up with the TSA and an endless war

Outstanding operation. Only one KIA, Bibi's brother.

Had same director as Empire Strikes Back.
Not to mention James Woods, Peter Finch, Bronson, Jack Warden, and others

Last King of Scotland has a pretty high level look at it. Gives you just enough to encourage learning about it.

You are referring to Entebbe and frankly, it was horrible.

Yup. The earlier one mentioned (Made for NBC) is much much much better.
Just look at the Director.
