"...to me it's putting an equal sign between the opressed and the oppressor; "it's all the same" and that's why it's so problematic. because there is no equal sign between the defensive violence of the oppressed and the agressive violence of the oppressor. one has nothing to do with the other" -- Joyce Chediac (Lebanese American of the "workers world forum") -- '"Munich" What Steven Spielberg left out

"However, if one's conscience is to be truly clear, it is the actions of Avner's parents' generation which need to be acknowledged and reconciled. After his mission, Avner asks his mother, who lost many family members during the Holocaust, if she wants to know what he did on his mission and she declines. "Whatever it took, whatever it takes, we have a place on earth at last," she tells him. But whether a people — citizens of Israel like Avner or supporters of the state like Spielberg — can feel morally whole with such fresh wounds is the question that truly needs to be dealt with." -- "'Munich': Spielberg's thrilling crisis of conscience"

...But this begs the question: why is Munich more famous than the savage bombardment of Palestinian refugee camps back in February prior to Munich? And why did the letter bombs to three Palestinian writers not get any world attention? Why did American liberals and PEN not notice it back then? ...The movie did not tell you that by the time the Israeli terrorists finished with their “mission,” some 100 Palestinians and Lebanese were murdered on that day in April 1973.

Who are the Palestinians who blow themselves up for their cause? Why do they do this? Are they “terrorists,” “fanatics,” “cowards”? People who come from a place where “life is cheap”? This is what the U.S. media say, but the voices speaking are not Palestinian; ....Abu-Assad said he saw the award not only as recognition of the film, its cast and crew, “but also as recognition that the Pales tinians deserve their liberty and equality unconditionally.” -- Joyce Chediac -- "Paradise Now’—a Palestinian view of suicide bombings"

Don't the Israel-terrorist-apologists always leave out the relevant details.
by FairDink
If Spielberg has got it wrong by leaving things out, then Joyce Chediac is kidding herself by completely manipulating history. The 1967 'pre-emptive' strike was in response to the 3 sorrounding nations collaborating to destroy Israel.

Myths & Facts

How can she comment on Spielbers interpretation of history when hers is completely misguided? His is far *closer* to the truth then hers.

as for:

"... because there is no equal sign between the defensive violence of the oppressed and the agressive violence of the oppressor. one has nothing to do with the other"

It is arab govenments wich opress the arab people. How could a top ten rich-list individual like Arafat be the leader of one of the worlds poorest 'nation'?

There are more arabs then jews living in Israel today. All living as neighbours, friends, colleagues and relatives.
