Spielberg's Munich Massacre
The Jewish Press ^ | 12/7/2005 | Jason Maoz

Posted on 12/13/2005 6:53:28 AM PST by Witch-king of Angmar

As the Monitor noted back in July, “alarm bells went off like crazy when Steven Spielberg hired Tony Kushner last year to rewrite the script of a movie about Israel’s clandestine — and lethal — response to the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.”

The Monitor found cause for concern because Kushner is a radical leftist whose views on the Middle East are hardly distinguishable from the hateful screeds found on the most rabidly anti-Israel websites.

"There is an entirely fictional scene in the movie in which [the leader of the Israeli hit squad] and his Palestinian opposite number meet and talk calmly, with the latter getting a chance to make his case for the creation of a homeland for his people. That scene means everything to Kushner and Spielberg..... Without that exchange, 'I would [said Spielberg] have been making a Charles Bronson movie — good guys vs. bad guys and Jews killing Arabs without any context. And I was never going to make that picture.' "

That pretty much sums it up right there.

WEll, it's not like anything he does is going to make Isreal *LOVED* so perhaps a bit of a reminder that the only democracy in the middle east never forgets and has always effectivly practiced 'eye for an eye' will make a better movie.

But then I'm the most Zionist Irish boy I know of:-)

The whole Munich Massacre thing seems to boil down to Jews killing Arabs, as far as Spielberg is concerned. Amazing.

Spielberg has jumped the shark.

Spielberg spends his spare time documenting the last Holocaust while working to justify the next one.

Pathetic.

Without any context? how about the murder of Israeli athltes in Munich? Isn't that context enough? Too bad, 'cause that's the picture most people would want to see. Instead it will be a more 'nuanced' portrayal where the concept of 'evil' or 'bad' is nonexistent. In other words, watered-down garbage.

Spielberg and Kushner took a page from Oliver Stone's playbook. It's despicable. They portray lies as history, and young minds full of mush believe it. Oh, well, it's just 'nuancing'. Nothing to get upset about.

I can imagine Michael Savage's take on this.

has this guy seen the movie? he seems to be quoting others. that kind of thing makes me very nervous and reminds me of those who condemned "Passion of the Christ" without having even seen it.

The genuine story is not squeaky clean. The Isreali hit team screwed up big time and killed the wrong person in one of their revenge killings.

Exactly. The Munich massacre is a blip on the screen, barely worth mentioning.
