Zionists Manipulate The World Through Movies
2002-09-15
Israeli movie makers use the cinema industry as a tool to distort the image and goals of the Palestinian cause in the western mentality, said an Iraqi researcher and movie experts.
Oh, the perfidy of it all!
The Zionist lobby uses its huge role in the movie industry in the west and in the occupied territories as an effective tool of propaganda to publicize for the notion of occupying Palestine and to win the sympathy of the western audience, said Abdel Ghafour Al-Ne'ma in a study entitled "The Octopus of the Zionist Cinema".
Damn those Jews! They're into everything!
He added that Zionists are using three main methods to manipulate the movie industry and make it serve their interests, the first of which is to use the Torah's stories that talk about Jews as God's chosen people which make them superior to all other nations only by the virtue of being Jews, said the Quds Press Saturday, September 14.
Okay. Guess we have to scratch any Bible stories, then...
The second method is to exploit the feeling of guilt the world has toward the Jews because of the holocaust committed by the Nazis against them and the third is to justify the Israeli occupation to the Palestinian territories, he said.
It was nothing. A mere peccadillo on the part of the misunderstood Nazis...
The study also said that making movies with high production capabilities is another method to deliver a certain message the Zionists want the world to believe, the first of which was a movie, entitled "Ben Houd" [sic] produced during the silent cinema era in 1926 and then it was redone with sounds and in colors in 1959.
Yeah. I remember it. Resulted in millions of Arabs being slaughtered by... ummmm... somebody.
This movie was followed by many others, such as "Ten Commandments" produced in 1956, "Land of Pharaohs" in 1950, "Soliman and the Queen of Sheba” in 1959, he said, adding that all these movies aimed at strengthening the notion of Zionism in the minds of western audiences since childhood with special focus on the alleged right of the Jews in so called "Promised land", he said.
I thought the objective was to show dancing girls with those bronze brassieres, and... and...
The second methodology of the Israeli cinema is to use the sense of guilt the world feel toward Jews because of the Holocaust to emotionally blackmail them to get military and economic aid, as well as covering up for their crimes against the Palestinians, Al-Ne'ma said.
"Irving, make a movie to cover up that mess."
"I'll get right on it, chief!"

Justifying the Israeli occupation in movies depends on portraying the Arabs and Palestinians who are legally resisting an occupation and defending their lands as "terrorists", linking the Palestinian fighter with Nazis, and the fabrication of heroic stories about the Israeli "strong" soldier, he added.
Certainly nothing to justify that image. 1967 never happened, in fact...
Al-Ne'ma added that the analysis of these kind of movies shows that they all depend on high standards techniques and production, as well as international experienced directors. "Arabic cinema should also depend on high techniques and experienced people to be able to exist and compete on the international scale," he added.
I'll be waiting to see the babes with the bronze brassieres...

#5  Hey, its not we havent tried to make a movie about islam, anyone remember 'Mohammed - messenger of god"? - Circa 1976-ish?,
We even got Anthony "dont call me Zorba" Quinn to take a major part in it, but everyone got their kheyffeh in a bunch about even the most basic depictions of Mohammed and it got pulled due to the higher than normal amounts of bomb threats to the theaters, hostage takings in DC, and so on.

#3  It's "Ben HUR".

Jeeze, I LOVED the second movie! Old Ben got together with some arab traders and made hash of the Bad Guy in the chariot race. Great Zionist Propaganda, all right: Look at how much good could happen if the Jews AND the Arabs could just work TOGETHER!
