1. King David Hotel: The bombing of the King David Hotel, which served as headquarters of the British administration in Palestine, killed 91 Arabs, Jews, and Brits in 1946. Two future Prime Ministers of Israel, David Ben Gurion and Menachem Begin, masterminded the attack. Disguised as Arabs, members of Begin's Irgun placed 350kg of explosives inside the building. In this action-packed thriller, David (Pierce Brosnan) — a British officer ordered to hunt down the killers — falls for Margaret (Uma Thurman), an American journalist working for Life Magazine. But is Margaret really in love or is she a secret Zionist assassin out to stop David in his tracks?

2. Nakba: A story of innocent love in a time of war and tragedy. Layla (Penelope Cruz) & Salam (Orlando Bloom) are a Romeo & Juliet against the backdrop of the 1948 Nakba, the Palestinian national catastrophe. During the Nakba, over 700,000 Palestinians fled — voluntarily & involuntarily — their homes. Can their love survive conflict?

3. USS Liberty: When Israeli boats and fighter jets attack the US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty in the middle of the 1967 Six Day War, 34 US servicemen are killed and 173 are wounded. The official word from Washington and Tel Aviv is that the attack was a mistake. But Brad Pitt & Tom Cruise, who play surviving officers from the Liberty, swear vengeance after discovering that the attack was actually part of a plot to start World War III.

4. Sabra & Shatila: It's 1982 and the war in Lebanon rages on. British war correspondent Robert Fisk (Star Wars star Ewan MacGregor) hides in the camps of Sabra & Shatilla, while a Lebanese militia aided and abetted by Israel slaughters thousands of Palestinian refugees. Sahar (Sandra Bullock) is a Palestinian mother determined to protect her family at any cost.

5. Vanunu: A political thriller set in Israel, Australia, Thailand, England, and Italy. "Syriana" star George Clooney plays Mordechai Vanunu, the nuclear technician who exposes Israel's nuclear weapons program and pays the ultimate price. Nicole Kidman plays Cheryl Bentov, the American Mossad agent who seduces and kidnaps him.

6. Hebron: A story of tragedy and torn loyalties. In 1994, Brooklyn Jewish doctor Baruch Goldstein opened fire on Muslim worshippers in Hebron, killing 29. Palestinian American Mazen Khalili (Tom Hanks), a State Department official assigned to investigate the massacre, struggles with his job responsibilities and his roots. Leah Rabinowitz (Meg Ryan) is a Jewish American journalist who discovers a dark family secret that will change her life forever.

7. Qana: On April 18, 1996, Israeli shelling of a UN Compound that shelters Lebanese refugees kills more than 100 & injures over 300 men, women, and children. Jessica (Angelina Jolie) is a UN worker determined to let the world know what happened after witnessing the atrocity. Yossi (Robert De Niro) is a Mossad agent assigned to kill Jolie.

8. Gaza: Chris Hedges (Harrison Ford), a New York Times correspondent in Jerusalem, files stories from his hotel room. Hedges reaches a turning point when he witnesses Israeli soldiers killing young Palestinian boys for sport, then defies his editors by writing stories that humanize Palestinians. David Schwimmer & Sarah Jessica Parker make cameo appearances as the parents of Muhammad al-Durra, the 12 year old Palestinian boy killed by Israeli troops in 2000.

9. Rachel: Rachel Corrie (Gwyneth Paltrow) is the idealistic young American activist crushed to death by the Israeli army with a Caterpillar bulldozer. Sally Field, well-known for her role in "Not Without My Daughter", plays Rachel's mother.

10. Refuseniks: When a fellow soldier commits suicide after killing an unarmed pregnant Palestinian woman (played by Natalie Portman) in cold blood, two young Israeli soldiers (Matt Damon and Ben Affleck) decide that the occupation and the killing of Palestinians is immoral and unjust.

Really enjoyed that. Linder ought to put that one up front, or maybe under Movie Reviews.

How about this:

"Grey Man"

Starring Jeff Goldblum as Jewish serial killer Albert Fish who enjoyed torturing young children to death before eating them. Much like a Kosher butchering of an animal, Fish believed torturing the child would tenderize their flesh and add to its flavor. A deeply religious and pious Jew, Fish once remarked: "What I did must have been right, or an angel would have stopped me, just as an angel stopped Abraham in the Bible".

"Dancing in NY"

Story of the harrowing escape of the 5 Mossad agents from the US after they got caught celebrating the success of their mission on 9/11. Starring Sivan Kurzburg as himself.


"Evidence linking these Israelis to 9/11 is classified. I cannot tell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information."
-US official quoted in Carl Cameron's Fox News report on the Israeli spy ring and its connections to 9-11.

Luckily his movie Munich alone has got Michael Medved going insane. He has been talking about it for weeks, disecting it, warning everyone of the "hidden-messages", etc. I'm told it's hilarious to hear.


Hey morons!! BAN ME!!!

Fiddlers on the White House Roof (aka Israelis on Permanent Work Holiday)

Traces the story of Washington's most powerful lobby, AIPAC, and it's key players, as they maneuver the United States into a Middle East quagmire that it may never get out of. A veritable ensemble cast stars as the cabinet members, lobbyists, officials, and advisors in the highest seats of power; men and women who deal with the very apex of political intrigue and manipulation. A story of dual national loyalties, murder, bribery, backroom deals, media distortions, government corruption, lies, and high treason as the global elites maneuver America into the final conflict: Islam vs. Christianity.

Tagline: "The president has stated all options are on the table, including the nuclear one."


Yeah, we're all just a bunch of hateful anti-semites

A note of appreciation from the rich

So has anyone seen Munich yet?

What's the review from a White man's perspective? A lot of jews seem pretty pissed off about this, but I haven't been following it.

I never even thought about it at first, but after hearing that Medved can't stop ranting about this film I've decided to see it when I have the chance.
