Foreign: Israeli, Subtitles For years I have been vilified by people who known my views regarding the Israeli . . . Palestinian situation and conflict in the Middle East. And it hasn't only been my opinion that the Israeli occupation of the the West Bank and the treating of the Palestinians as less than second rate citizens is disgusting. Jimmy Carter calls it Apartheid and Gershom Gorewnberg (The Accidental Empire) has talked and written extensively about this hideous situation.
Jews who should have know better after the Holocaust treat others as lesser humans . . . Untermensch (German for under man, sub-man, sub-human; plural: Untermenschen) a term that became infamous when the Nazi racial ideology used it to describe "inferior people", especially "the masses from the East," that is Jews, Gypsies, and Slavic peoples including Poles, Serbs, Belarusians and Russians.
This movie is composed of interviews with the heads of Shin Bet, Israel’s secret service, charged with overseeing Israel’s war on terror . . . both Palestinian and Jewish terror. To a man they detest what has become of Israel and it's people because of the unresolved political and zealot driven horror. Israel will win all the battles and lose the war.
From Rotten Tomatoes: It validates the reasons that each man individually and the six as a group came to reconsider their hard-line positions and advocate a conciliatory approach toward their enemies based on a two-state solution. A uniquely important film. Would you ever hear six successive leaders of the American CIA talk so frankly about history and their role in it? No, impossible. But these guys lay it all out: their direct knowledge of the cycle of violence, the failure of politicians, the cruelty done to both oppressor and oppressed. As the PG-13 label says, some scenes are violent and disturbing. But mostly the film consists of interview footage with the most enigmatic and engaging retired power mongers you'll ever see.
