A Brilliant Expose on Islam and Anti-Semitism
OPEN YOUR EYES!!! Yes, it was a movie title. This documentary will do more than a thousand blind men can tell you about what racism, race-hatred, genocide, cold-blooded murder, and geopolotics are about. It will be difficult watching for early teen-agers, but then again, with what we see on cable TV today, I could be wrong even about that.I can see many uses for this film, but especially for young men involved in--yes, really--sports. Gang-bangers, Boy Scouts, you name it. It is about male competition and hormones gone awry, which happens so frequently these days and throughout history one would think there would need to be no more books, no more videos, nothing more to say about it. However, as this documentary shows, there is more to say--even from Hollywood.I have only one quarrel with the documentary. I believe (and from other sources I believe this to be factual) that the Israelis did NOT simply sit in the helicopters--they fought back when the opportunity presented itself. Many think today (2006) that Israel has lost its will to fight. I hope this is not true, but I do not believe it was true in 1972--any Israeli would have sought opportunity to fight for himself, his family, for his country and people. Self-defense is not what this film is about, however, it is about naked racism and cold-blooded violence. It makes "Reservoir Dogs" look like a training film.
