User Reviews

This film as a whole was biased

To start with, everyone is entitled to make a film about a conflict but it MUST have balanced events/reasons/situations even if it is done in the Palestinian view.

To start with, this film starts off with the flotilla. Now what happened was that the Israeli government did a blockade on Gaza to stop tranports coming into Gaza. Why? Because there was possible risk of hiding arms under the supplies. What actually happened at the flotilla? The ship refused to allow the IDF patrol boats to search the boats so what happen? The Israelis stormed into the ships (at first with paint ball guns-see actuall footage) until things started getting violent so that was when they used their proper weapons. As a result only SIX of the crew were killed. What does it show in the film? That the soldiers stormed in and murdered and massacred the whole crew. BIASED. Furthermore, the film does not mention that the IDF recovered camolfaging kit, catapults, balaclava and army knives for Hamas- regarded as the terrorists from most Western Countries.

Furthermore, it shows in the film that Israel do seceret deals behind the United Nations' back by smuggling lethal bullets (possibly "dum-dum" bullet". BIASED There is also a scene of when the Israelis storm into a West Bank Village and round up as many Palestinians as possible and murdering them and also justifying their claims because they were looking for terrorists. BIASED; ISRAEL AND PALESTINIAN POLICE ALWAYS WORK Together (IN WEST BANK TERRITORIES) TO HUNT DOWN ONLY Terrorists!!!! Israel also ask The West Bank territories authority to step in to arrest any suspected terrosits.

There are plenty more scenes to describe about if you are not convinced from this statement.

And whats more, I am now Jew nor a Zionist, and I say this film is biased because there is just no clear balanced argument to it. Those of you Pro-Palestinans who want to watch a good Palestinian film, I recommend MIRAL- because it mainly has what I said, which this film doesn't have.

I have been to West Bank before, (for 7 months to travel on my gap-year and part of my research) and I have seen many violent things done by the IDF themselves, but it was NOTHING like this film showed. They do this for the THREAT OF SECURITY
