Ali Kazak, the Palestinian representative in Australia, claims there are no plans at this stage for a boycott but that the Palestinians are demanding the memorial be removed.
Kazak said that if the memorial remains, there should also be memorials to the Olympians he claimed the Israelis had murdered in Lebanon and elsewhere.
He could not specify who he was talking about and when this had taken place.
Eleven Israelis and five terrorists died in 1972 after Palestinian terrorists kidnapped Israeli athletes in Munich’s Olympic village.
Israel is one of four countries that reportedly wants its own security staff to carry guns at the Sydney Olympics.
Carrying the weapons is “like taking a physician to an event — you hope you never need to use him but it is reassuring to know that he is there,” one Israeli official said.
Australian law forbids bringing weapons into the country, and Australia insists that local agencies will handle security at the games.
