1. victims are treated in Israeli hospitals
2. Palestinians have access to Israeli legal system
3. Israelis issue arrest warrants
4. Palestinians are allowed some access to land over the fences
5. Palestinians are warned of inpending military activities
Obviously this movie is anti Israel, and certainly shows numerous war crimes being committed.
1. Not usually.
2. Some unequal access.
3. When it's in their interest.
4. If they get permission in advance and are prepared to stand in the sun for hours.
5. Tear gas is a 'warning'?

1. Emad was treated in an Israeli hospital and because he was classed as non-Israeli he was left with hospital bills that he didn't know how to pay. The hospital is thanked in the credits presumably for allowing the filming on its premises. Also he says that an Israeli hopsital is what saved his life in contrast to his fate if he had gone to a Palestinian one. I took this to mean the Israeli one was better equipped.
I don't think this was a pro-Israeli element of the docu.
2. Only because there were a number of Israeli campaigners and an Israeli human rights group campaigning with them and on their behalf.
3. Because they were on film ...
4. Because that divide was illegal and as the soldiers were being filmed they were, I imagine, given orders to be shown to permit access. Even on film it took 4 hours one day to allow the villagers access to their own land! JFC!
5. I missed this bit, or are you referring to the booklet produced and distributed in which a curfew is imposed in every way but name? Again, they knew they were being filmed.
One thing that was good about the docu was that the actions of Israel with regards the settlers was criticised and, indirectly, the actions of the soldiers, which were very heavy-handed. But the docu showed the villagers trying to appeal to the soldiers as people and even going so far as to call them cousins. This makes the important distinction so often missed that it's not the Jewish people who are being criticised but various arms of the state. And, not all arms of the state either, re-the Israeli courts.

Difficult to take your comment seriously with a User name like that.
your bias is showing.
here it is one more *beep* who's opinion is nothing else but an evidence of how really small your brain is
I Crows Zero
And your response is pro-idiot to say the least.
They've been offered half the country and refused? As they should. Why should they only get half of something that is ENTIRELY theirs?
Your last sentence is on point though. Yes, you will believe a Palestinian State one day, cause when it actually happens you'll have no choice to believe it as true, from your final destination in hell. Kudos on this one.

I knew this would summon very opinionated answers. This was one sided, and I don't mean that in a bad way, it was litearally one sided. You only really saw what happened on one side of the fence, which happened to make Israel look bad, and now all the Jews are gonna get the crap. Watch this, and then go watch raid on entebbe. Tell me how you feel now.
shareEdit: there is absolutely no way anyone, can think about this without being one sided. Both countries bombard each other with missiles, and weapons. Both countries have done bad stuff, and claim to be pure, while they claim the other is evil. When you see this movie, you call Israel evil, when you see the movie I mentioned (raid on entebbe) you call Palestine evil. It's a war, and both sides are going to do bad stuff. And honestly, most people just don't understand how deep this conflict reaches into the hearts of Muslims and Jews. To everyone, it is a petty land conflict, and could easily be settled by giving over that land, but I think the only thing Palestinians and Israelis agree on, is that others really don't understand.
share"Both countries bombard each other with missiles, and weapons."
Palestine is not a country. And you can't equivocate between an occupied territory shooting unguided WWII type rockets at an occupier considered to be the world's 4th most advanced military, sorry but there is no serious comparison in any of that.

Well, the Israeli side has been dominant when it comes to getting air time and getting their opinion across. It's not like there's a PRO Palestine group making sure their human rights are not violated.
I think it's interesting that this film is being nominated for an Oscar, the same year as THE GATEKEEPERS, which is also a great documentary about the issue.
The truth lies somewhere in between but I think the Palestinians deserve to have their voice heard as well.
And I've seen "Raid on Entebbe" but it's dated. The issues have evolved. Actually, it makes me think that if that is the one example you have that is "PRO" Israeli, it's not valid anymore. There have been many more violations on both sides after that.

That is a site that concentrates ONLY on the Israeli side. Not valid.

You post is nothing more than debunked Zionist talking points and bigotry and against Arabs. What you are writing is nothing new than what other Zionist hacks who spring into action the minute anything about Palestine is mentioned on these boards. You are not fooling anyone and after this post, you will be ignored.

Cry me a river you loser. It's the losers who cry.
sharepro israeli thing that i noticed was those activist and isreali guys who helped to make this movie .
Yeah, at their peril of being attacked by their own neighbors, because they were sick of their Nazi society and the lack of conscience in Israel, which has become Hitlerian in their constant and ongoing abuse of human beings. It's not going to end well for Israel. The world hates their govt, even more than the US govt. Israel needs to (1) become human again (2) cut a deal that must include splitting and sharing the territory and water rights they have stolen. I have no doubt a Palestinian govt would make such a deal; i do have doubts the Israeli would ever prefer an end to the fighting rather than give up one inch. Damn the intransigent, for they are the pigs who refuse peace and justice in favor of neverending bloodletting and injustice.

All of my sympathies lie with the Palestinians. They had their land and property stolen and they are treated as sub-humans. It was the Israelis who invented modern terrorism with their bombing of the King David Hotel, Jerusalem in 1946 by Zionists.
Remove Israel and the major conflict in the Middle East disappears. Why the Arab nations sell their oil to the USA I don't know, when Israel only continues to exist due to financial support from the US.
