Am I the only one to smell some weird Jewish propaganda in this movie ?

Well, #1 all of his subjects seem pretty normal oppressed people. #2 I also don't know if he's Arab. Sudan has a lot of people who worship animalist or tribal religions and Wadiya is right next to Sudan.

Is your thesis that insulting Arab dictators is synonymous to insulting Islam or Arab culture? I think that's a tenuous connection at best. Criticize Gaddafi or Ammhedijad has never been considered a form of Islamophobia.

My, you are a sharp one aren't you? Yes it IS propaganda. It's subliminal mind tricks designed to make you think it's OK to hate o Iran. This is actually nothing new; these zionist scum have been propping up jewish-influenced propaganda for a long tome now - it's only in recent years that it's gotten so blatant. For example - Wesley Snipes claiming that Israel airlines has the 'best security in the world' (Passenger 57), to Magneto threatening a Nazi banker (X-Men First Class), to The American and Israeli surviving the movie (Predators) to entire movies (You Don't Mess With The Zohan). These idiots have forgotten that the majority of people who watch Hollywood movies are gentiles and that we don't like it when they force THEIR worldview upon us. Good for you. Perhaps you'll save your money and stop shelling out your hard-earned cash watching movies that display their contempt for the rest of us by pretending that a bucket of sick can pass off as a joke ...

wow, just wow...the facts you pose are correct about how the movies ended or the lines that were said
but wow, and i have no part of any religion were talking about here

Funny I asked this same exact question for another movie, The Sessions, although in that one it was a more subtle matter.

When I saw the first few minutes of Dictator, I perceived Israeli propaganda when the crude main character expressed childishly that his country's nuclear research is intended to attack Israel. They make an obvious reference to Iran's Ahmadinejad, implying that Israel's point of view is natural and humorous to the audience.

Many of us know better. I do NOT support Ahmadinejad, but certainly do not support Israel either. What the politics of that country has done to non-jews of the region would be considered unacceptable, unjustified and intolerable to most people I know of including Americans. The movie seems to try to influence the audience towards Israel's agenda.

I am hesitant to write about this, but I say it in the name of fairness for all.

Mocking forms of dictatorship is okay for me. Also, you can't help that dictatorships do exist in the "Arab world", so to speak. If there were three Japans, and one of them was a dictatorship, some Japanese would maybe have found the movie offensive from the other two Japans, too.

On the other hand I agree that Jews are kind of taboo when it's about mocking. This story with those corrupt oil companies would normally cry for an Israeli investor, too, but of course there wasn't any. And if his speech at the end wasn't coming from him, it could easily have been labelled as an anti-semitic conspiration theory.

No no, I'm sure there were some other nazis out there who thought the same thing.

When the door goes down blow the bulbs.

Yes,the Jewish propaganda in this film is obvious but even some of the worst propaganda films can have some credit or content in them. 'Borat' for instance was obviously a blow to smear the image of Khazaks to the world but it was undeniably a funny and even original movie.
The thing with 'The Dictator' is that the essence of it's "humour" is so dull and plain that I couldn't even manage a single grin throughout the whole thing let alone bear the obvious political message. 1.9/10 - Distasteful

Yeah.
