PARADISE NOW (2006) A

Foreign; subtitles

This movie deals with THE HOT BUTTON issue of organized Jewry. It shows Palestinians as human beings. (On a personal note, 80% to 90% of the Jewish people I come in contact with . . . they are mostly 60 and 70 years old.  Many of them consider the Palestinians subhuman and worthy of immediately destruction. And this is the feelings of people who are aware of the Nazi racial rants. 

In my opinion, If this movie was shown in a New york theater, I'm sure Zionist organizations, and lobbying groups such as the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) would create a riot.

The movie is about two men who are bent on destroying themselves and others as suicide bombers. It present the conflicts within the
Palestinian world and shows some of the stark differences between
modern Israel and the occupied West bank.

If you are interested in this subject, I suggest you read The Accidental Empire by Gershom Gorenberg
