Movies about the Arab-Israeli conflict


Hey does anyone know any of the names of movies that have to do with the arab israeli conflict, ive been interested in that topic for a long time though with the exception of "Munich" ive never seen any movies on it.

Hi. A word of advice, if you're really interested in the Arab-Israeli conflict, the truth is probably not in Hollywood. Look for documentaries. Sorry that I can't reccomend any movie names, the only movie I've seen involving this topic is this movie. And I haven't seen Munich because it looked horribly one-sided against the Palestinians. I've heard that the movie Jenin, Jenin was good, but very sad. It's about the real conditions of Palestinian refugee camps, probably will seem one-sided against the Israelis. Well anyway, I'd still say stick to documentaries, you can probably find some to watch right from your computer if you search from Google or something like that.

Well, from all the reviews that I read and commercials that I had seen, I did not want to see Munich, let's put it that way.

And not that I'm here to talk politics or history, but considering that all of Palestine is being occupied, oppressed, and persecuted, that Arabs were forced from their homes at gunpoint and herded into refugee camps like animals in 1948, that Israel is in violation of 69 UN Security Council Resolutions, etc, it is hard to picture them as nice. There are Palestinian terroritsts, I'll grant you that, but it's important to understand what causes it.

actually they attacked israel before all the refugee camp business started...important to get ur facts straight...u sound like a run of the mill jew hater venting ur hatred at israel, its wrong to take sides one must realise both sides have done bad and demonizing either one only slows down peace.

Actually, refugee camps started in 1948. I'm not a Jew hater, watch it before you make broad comments like that.

the arab nations attacked israel in 1948 after israel won then the refugee camps were built, it was either that or let them starve by themselves, like i said before both sides have done terrible things to eachother and taking sides only prelongs the conflict.

And why did the Arab nations attack Israel? I'm done arguing, goodbye.

reply

they attacked because they didnt want to share land with jews...anti-semitic piece of sh*t

Exactly! you took the words right outa my mouth, people demonize israel way too much and i garantee you atleast 60-80% of people who are anti-israel are indeed anti-semites, in my expierences anyway.

reply

yeah I'm back. Me, an anti-semite? I AM a Semite.

And how would you feel about giving your land to immigrants? Terrorist immigrants? (yes, there was Jewish terrorism throughout the 30's and 40's) Without your consent? You really don't know what actually happened and still is happening, I guess I wasted my time by telling you to search for the truth?
