Films show terrorists as people

By Scott Bowles, USA TODAY Wed Dec 21, 6:45 AM ET

Hollywood is showing a new side of terrorism.


And it's a human one.

To the dismay of some critics, several films are offering humanizing portraits of extremists, including suicide bombers:

•Paradise Now tells the story of two men recruited for a suicide bombing mission in Tel Aviv. The film, which opened in October, received a Golden Globe nomination for best foreign picture and has taken in about $1 million domestically.

•Syriana, the
George Clooney political drama that opened Nov. 23, paints a sympathetic portrait of a young man recruited into a radical Islamic group planning an attack on a U.S. oil firm. The movie has taken in about $23 million and earned two Golden Globe nominations.

•Sleeper Cell, a 10-hour Showtime miniseries that began Dec. 4, is about an al-Qaeda-like group planning an attack in Los Angeles.

•Munich, which opens Friday, is
Steven Spielberg's examination of the 1972 Olympics massacre and offers the perspective of both Israeli soldiers and members of the
Palestine Liberation Organization...

Mussolini and Stalin too. Yes, group hug!

The sad thing is there are warped minds out there that will believe this crap. Look at Mr Apoligista Spiderman Tuba's posts in the other threads. According to his crap, the US military is waging war against Iraqi noncombatants.

I can't quite grasp the concept to such unsupported by any real fact, irrational line of thinking.

I agree. My assessment of him, it's not worth the time to refute him as he'll never get it.
 
I actually heard Sleeper Cell was pretty good, quite realistic in how it portrays the corruption of younger Muslims by hate-filled imams and terrorists who send them off to die.

Wasn't Hitler just misunderstood? :cuckoo:

Of course. I can't wait for next years "Must Love Dogs 2: Adolph and Eva". The man was just trying to run his country as best as he could, until those damn Allied forces came along.
 
Did anyone watch the History channel the other night? It may have been Sunday.

Anyway, I caught the last half of a program about the "Grand Mufti", a Moslem cleric that was a big time supporter of Adolph Hitler and became a marshall in the SS. He hated the British, the Americans and most of all, the Jews.He wanted the Nazis to build extermination camps in the Middle East, he wanted to see the "final solution" implemented so that Jews wouldn't get a nation in the Middle East.

He helped to establish the Ba'ath Party, yes, the same one that Saddam Hussein and Assad of Syria belong to.

And guess who was one of his big time disciples? None other than that Nobel Peace Prize winning, peace loving, rat fink ... Yasser Arafat. Yasser Arafat, associating with Nazi sympathizing Moslem clerics.... now isn't that eye opening?

Yes. Im waiting for the film that depicts his life as a struggling misunderstood artist that just happened to spend his last years on earth causing the deaths of a few million people. SHHHHH!

Originally I was going to see Munich thinking it looked good, now forget it.

Steven Spielberg might be in need of a lobatomy here. :terror: :wtf:

Maybe he ought to ask the Scarecrow for the Wizard's phone number so that he can get a brain. Any Jew that sympathizes with a group of people who are sworn to annihilate him must have a death wish, is blind or is as stupid as a box of bricks.

I have to admit as much as I expect Hollywood to do movies like this, this one by Spielberg of all people just tops the cake. Are they so desperate to impress eachother that they lose their minds in the process???

Would major Hollywood studio make a film sympathetic to Nazis? No, of course not. But for some reason, they don't see any problem with making films that are sympathetic to terrorists, who share many beliefs with the Nazis.

And to top it off, the movies are being made during a time of war. These films can be used as propoganda against us. We have soldiers fighting these bastards, their lives are at risk every day. Then these traitorous idiots make this type of film?

Can you imagine if a Hollywood studio came out with a movie sympathetic to Hitler during World War II? The studio head would have been arrested, tried, convicted of treason and shot. Not only that, but the careers of the actors, director and producer would have been ruined.
 
Remember the pre McCarthy Era Hollywood where pro America films during a time of war were the norm not the lunatic exception. Now it seems if you make a Pro America war movie your chastised by everyone except of course the box office who is usually kind to those that portray the country in an honest light.

Hollywood finds new ways to sicken people with their Anti-American propaganda that in their minds they think is "riveting" and "compelling" and "pushing the envelope." The joke is on them because you know what it is not doing, selling tickets. Let them ride the wave of insanity to the poor house. They'll keep making anti American crap for their buddies and fringe followers while the real Americans will turn away in droves. Eventually Hollywood will go out of business and we will no longer have the problem.

Mccarthy tried to save Hollywood from itself by ousting communists. Too bad for them they didnt listen. Hollywood will be COMPLETELY gone in the next 30 years at this rate.

Spielberg's Munich Pact
By Debbie Schlussel
FrontPageMagazine.com | December 22, 2005

When Steven Spielberg began filming Munich in June 2004, he set the tone for his fictional movie about Israeli agents who hunted down the Palestinian terrorists responsible for the slaughter of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Spielberg abruptly stopped filming and closed up shop. Why? Because the 2004 Summer Games were happening in August, and Steven Spielberg didn’t want to upset the terrorists.



That’s what Munich is about: not upsetting the terrorists. And rolling over while they attack and kill us. In Steven Spielberg’s world, not going after terrorists brings peace. In the real world, not going after terrorists brings more bloodshed.



When Spielberg began filming in 2004, it was well known that his film was based on George Jonas’ Vengeance – a book discredited as bunk by both Israeli Mossad agents and Palestinians with actual knowledge of the events depicted. So Spielberg claimed the movie was not based on Vengeance. If it’s not based on the book, then why do the credits of this film say it is?



Spielberg lied.



But not as much as he and admittedly anti-Israel scriptwriter Tony Kushner lied in this two-and-a-half-hour-plus celluloid fairy tale. Like the book on which it’s based, Munich is long, boring, and filled with fakery.



Spielberg’s Golda Meir is unsure about going after the Munich terrorists. She wavers and constantly seeks reassurance that this is the right thing. But the real-life Golda Meir could not have been more certain and intent on killing these terrorists.



Spielberg’s “Black September” terrorist group is named after the Munich terrorists, who murdered the Israeli athletes in September. The real-life “Black September” is so named after Jordan’s massacre of 10,000 Palestinians in September 1970 – causing many Jordanian Palestinians to flee for safety in the West Bank and Israel.



Spielberg’s Palestinian terrorists have deals with CIA officials in which they are paid not to harm American diplomats. Real-life Palestinians in 1973 beat to death U.S. diplomats, like Cleo Noel and George Curtis Moore in the Sudan, with Yasser Arafat personally giving the orders. (They were tortured to death and beaten so badly, authorities could not tell which of the two was black and which was white.)



Spielberg’s Palestinian terrorists have cute, young, innocent, piano-playing daughters who will be fatherless. But he never shows the cute, young daughters of the Israeli athletes who were made fatherless – and whose fathers, unlike the Palestinian terrorists, were innocent victims with no choice in the matter.


Spielberg’s Mossad agents say bigoted things like, “The only blood that matters to me is Jewish blood,” and go around killing innocent people at whim. The real-life Mossad agents who hunted the Munich terrorists went to great pains to avoid killing innocents (whether or not they were Jewish), a reason it took so many years and financial resources to get all but one of them. (Jamil Al-Gashey lives safely under the protection of the terror-state Syria.) In real-life, they killed only one innocent man whom they mistakenly believed to be a terrorist – a Moroccan waiter in Norway – for which those Mossad agents responsible were tried, convicted, and imprisoned, something that does not happen in the Spielberg version of events. Spielberg’s Mossad agents complain that Israel has no death penalty, so killing the terrorists violates Israeli law. Real-life Israel does have a death penalty for Nazi war criminals, like Eichmann, and recognized that the Munich terrorists were equally worthy.

Spielberg’s Mossad agents cry and brood a lot, unsure of themselves and why they are pursuing terrorists. Been there, seen that before – in the left-wing Israeli film Walk on Water. But it bears little resemblance to the real Mossad agents who hunted the terrorists. They were not metrosexual, sensitive guys – as badly as Spielberg and Kushner would like them to be. Like Golda Meir, they could not have been more certain of the just purpose of their mission.



Spielberg’s Mossad agents question why they should kill terrorists who murdered innocent people, when they will be replaced by other terrorists. Using that fallacious logic, why have a justice system at all? Bank robbers who go to jail will be replaced by more bank robbers. Ditto for child molesters, rapists, al-Qaeda terrorists, etc.


Then, there is something I haven’t read in other critics’ accounts of Munich – something that made me sick to my stomach. Are the lives of the innocent Israeli athletes so worthless that the scenes in which they are murdered by Palestinian terrorists are interspersed with the self-doubting Mossad agent having sex? How would Steven Spielberg like it if a loved one was shown being bludgeoned in between scenes of a law enforcement official bouncing up and down on top of the agent’s naked wife? This happens twice, the first time with a pregnant woman and a sexual position I thought was reserved for NC-17 and X-rated movies. Thanks for cheapening these murdered athletes’ lives, Spielberg.

From the beginning of this movie, the memories of these innocent victims of terrorism are desecrated, their lives morally equated with Palestinian terrorists’ lives. The work Kushner and Spielberg expended to create this undue symmetry of the asymmetrical is the hardest work they did in the entire film.



What can you expect from the man who said his meeting with Fidel Castro “was the eight most important hours of my life”?

Using voiceovers from TV and radio news accounts of the Olympic massacre, Spielberg presents the media confusion over whether the Israeli athletes and their Palestinian captors survived. Spielberg shows scenes of families of both Israeli athletes and Palestinian terrorists sobbing – as if their relatives are on equal moral footing. After it is confirmed the Israeli athletes were murdered, Spielberg uses news footage showing pictures and names of the Israeli dead. Interspersed with that, he shows Golda Meir and Israeli generals looking though photos and announcing the names of the Palestinian terrorists. They’re equal in this movie – Get it?



That’s the message of this movie: An eye for an eye doesn’t work. Instead we should just allow our enemies to take out both our eyes, with no end in sight. Israel tried Spielberg’s route, and the country’s experience was just the opposite of Spielberg’s message.



When Israel won the Yom Kippur War, when it hunted down the Olympic terrorists, when it invaded Lebanon and had Yasser Arafat in its sites in Beirut, the world respected Israel – and so did its Islamic enemies. And terrorist attacks stopped or slowed. When Israel showed weakness – signing empty peace treaties, like Oslo; pulling out of Southern Lebanon in an hour; and giving away Gaza – the world disdained Israel, and so did the Palestinian terrorists. That's when the terrorist attacks acceleterated. Many more Israelis have been murdered and maimed in the twelve years after the Oslo accords than in the twelve years before.



In Munich, repeated scenes of the Israeli athletes being taken hostage by the Palestinian terrorists show a poster of Masada in the background at their Olympic quarters. Masada was a famous mountain fortress in Israel, where ancients Jews made their last heroic stand against the Romans. Masada became a symbol of Jewish heroism that inspired the imagination and spirit of the founders of Israel.



But the symbolism of the Masada poster is lost on Spielberg. In his Munich vision of the world, he doesn’t want a heroic last stand against terrorists. He just wants us to roll over and die without a fight.



Steven Spielberg built tremendous political capital with the making of Schindler’s List. But he blew it all on Munich. And he just wrote his epitaph with it.

There are a lot of people named Abu in this film – Abu Youssef, Abu Salameh, etc. But the biggest Abu is the one in the credits, Abu Spielberg – Minister of Disinformation.


This really is disgusting!!! I hope it bombs
 
WOW! No wonder all the lefties are falling all over themselves to praise it. ITs kind of a contradiction though. Bash Jews or Praise Terrorists? Man why do you have to make these things so hard for Hollywood, Stephen?

Spielberg is a Piece of Shit if he has no understanding of what his so called "Own People" went through not even 35 years ago. He'll make the Jews of the holocaust look like innocent lambs being led to slaughter but then he applies the same to terrorists? Fuck him. Hopefully the jews wake up and realize the difference between the Jews of Israel and the jews of the left in America. Doubt it though.
