In Reply to: The director is a well-known propagandist and not so hot a storyteller either. nt posted by clarkjohnsen on January 30, 2006 at 16:40:02:
Propaganda == The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause.I don't see Spielberg taking a side in this film. Palestinians killed innocents period and no amount of rationalization justifies Munich. Isreal took revenge which feeds the cycle of violence -- Spielberg has no Pro-Revenge stance - though some of his Israeli assisins want and gleefully look for blood. Spielberg has several characters here -- some who qyuestion the morality of revenge others who are following orders. Spielberg is well tempered and reigned in here and is one of the least Spielbergian films I have ever seen.
Not wanting to kill kids is being human and even assassins are still human.
Spielberg gets blasted for being a sentimentalist because he likes to see optimistim in life - then when he makes a film that has no optimism and is bleak he gets blasted for propaganda? What exactly is Spielberg preaching.
Following this Palestine has "voted for" democratically no less a political party that wants to commit genocide on all Jews everywhere. Gee and people wonder why Isreal a country of ~6 million is paranoid when they're surrounded by several countries of over 400 million who want nothing but the total extermination of every last one of them!
It's too bad because as usual it's argument over religion (an idiotic belief in fairy tales) that has them all killing each other over "God's will"
Follow Ups:
Immediately following the declaration of the State of Israel in 1948, five Arab nation armies(Egypt,TransJordan,Lebanon,Iraq,Syria)invaded Israel. Their intentions were declared by Azzam Pasha, Sec.Gen. of the Arab League: "This will be a war of extermination and a moment of massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and The Crusades". ~AH
I am going to save it, thank you!I am sending Bruce here.

Methinks they should have taken one of the earlier offers...
Yes, isn't it odd how the Palestinians have reacted to nearly 60 years of Jewish/Israeli (and its the Israeli governments that have insisted on confusing those terms) attempts at their genocide.
...but there - you ARE a moron.
... I consider that the treatment of the Palestinians fits the UN definition of genocide with regard to the destruction of society and culture.
Please do not go down the road of blaming Arrafat for being incompetent/corrupt/anything else as it really does not have anything to do with it.
I am glad to have given you the opportunity to use one of those longer words, and, no doubt, there is little I can do to stop you ranting again.
But saying that the Israeli Government is doing a genocide...
That can not let be passed.
