ulcopiet When a army attack in the middle of a city there will be innocent victims, the israeli army know this very well. In the (israeli) movie "Jenin-massacring truth" they say it was not a massacre, so what was it? socialize? cosy drinking a cup of tea? The israeli soldier in this movie, Jonathan van Caspel is joking at his facebook page about the missing boeing from Malaysia Airlines, very unhuman indeed, crying about some dead israeli soldiers and laughing about 239 missing (dead) people? Must the world really believe someone like that? No way on earth! We wish the best for all Palestinian people and we know that in time at least 90% of the people on earth will support the Palestinians and will fight at your side if this is necessary.
Salem Khoury Excellent and bold documentary, It is very rare to see this kind of brave coverage exposing the crimes committed against the Palestinians. Heart breaking accounts of the events that took place by first hand witnesses. I don't understand some of the reviews saying "it is boring" or "repetitive". You cannot possibly find this film boring if you have any kind of human compassion. And yes, there is some repetitiveness, it is a documentary based on interviews of eye-witnesses who all viewed the same massacre... The film goes beyond explaining the facts and documenting an important event, it also helps the audience understand the impact this massacre had on its victims and survivors.A must see eye opener for everyone.
igal3 I have not seen such a bad movie in a LONG time. Basically, if you wish to view and enjoy pure propaganda that is based on fiction and one-sided, biased, and hateful views, by all means you are invited to watch this movie. The other reviewer iliteratti has in fact proved that he lives up to his name - ILLITERATE. No one can be that naive and foolish, or can one?? I read avidly about the politics and all surrounding issues concerning the bitter and long-term conflict in the Middle East. I would also like to think that, unlike so many who have a stake in holding one position over another, I am not prejudiced one way or another. I call it as I see it and I base my conclusions on facts after carefully reviewing all pertinent information relating to a given situation. When one reads all the facts and figures as they related to the Israeli operation in jenin, one cannot be but impressed with the utmost concern for human life shown by the Israelis. In fact, I can ONLY wish our OWN military would show that kind of concern in similar situations. Therefore, to base one beliefs strictly on this movie amounts to sheer idiocy. have you read and heard that, Mr. Iliteratti?? War and conflict are ugly by definition and there's nothing anyone can do or say to mitigate that ugliness. That being said, the Israeli military incurred some heavy casualties exactly BECAUSE it took great care to protect the innocent. Were there innocent casualties during the Jenin operation? undoubtedly so. Unfortunately, no army in the entire world can conduct such large scale operations within crowded urban conditions (especially those encountered in a heavily crowded and shabbily constructed refugee camp) with surgical precision. If the Israelies wished to spare their own soldiers, they would and could have simply bombed the camp indisriminantly. they opted against such a sweeping punitive action and that choice ought to be applauded. The movie tried to make it seem as THOUGH it was based in reality whereas anyone who is familiar with the facts can easily see the facts were relayed in a wrong, misleading, purposeful manner. Unfortunately, even IF one wished to regard this movie as pure fiction, it still did not amount to anything worthwhile viewing. MUCH LESS SO when the producers portrayed their work as realism. Thus, to go along with the movie as though it mirrored reality (as Mr. Iliteratti had done) amounts to naiveté, at best.
Martin Pihl This film does mostly what it intends: From the inside of Jenin it documents the Jenin inhabitants tragedies with losses of family members and the struggle against an occupation force. It does not, however, documents the objective FACTS and the objective truth of the events occurred, but merely the facts and truth for the Jenin inhabitants. (If at all such truth about the Jenin event exists?!)After having seen this movie my knowledge of the event are not much greater, but my knowledge of the stress Palestinians undergo have been greatly enhanced. One has to be very cold-hearted not to feel empathy with people interviewed in this movie, and therefore I rate this movie 8 of 10. Simply because it works.But notice: If you are watching this movie ONLY for political reasons, remember also to view movies that displays the stress and sorrow for Israeleans victims.To understand a conflict, is to understand all sides of it.
