History repeats itself

EXCELLENT, PROPHETIC MOVIE !!!
Released in 1967, this movie provides a clear insight into the roots of Islamic "radicalization" as a reaction against the poverty, exploitation, corruption, and degradation caused by colonialism.
Several shocking ideas (for a film from 1956):
1. A large group of seven-year-old boys beat a drunk to death to "improve their community"
2. French police take vigilante justice against an innocent man's family by exploding his home late one night
3. Revenge bombings by Muslim females of an Air France flight and two cafés (not suicide bombings, incidentally)
4. French military uses waterboarding (I kid you not) and other tortures to extract information, "false flag" events (World Trade Center, anyone?) to justify circumventing laws, and "suicides" to eliminate "non-cooperative" rebel leaders.
5. The United Nations, as usual, is impotent.
Combined with any good documentaries about the history of African-Americans and the history of Native Americans, an astute viewer comes to the realization that Europeans are the devils who have brought misery to peaceful people throughout the world.
