"The six do not describe Israel as "terrorist.""
Yes they do Keith - the link you were given first does exactly that - your link to the Telegraph review says that the comparison to the Nazis in Europe "should have been left of the cutting room floor" - whatever way you paint it, these concern acknowledged accusations of terrorism.
The murder of Rabin was an act of terror, the incitement to murder by extremist Rabbis at rallies attended by thousands of people was an act of terror, the failure on the part of the Government to take action against those who incited that murder, both before and after the fact, was collusion in an act of terror, the sanctioning of the dropping of a bomb on an occupied area in order to kill a terrorist was and act of terror..... there are other such examples in the film (which you have not seen and have only offered 2 reviews from the "many" you have claimed to have read).
"Are you claiming that the film accuses Israel of that?"
The deliberate dropping of a bomb in the middle of a town, knowing there were bound to be many casualties was to sanction deliberate 'collateral damage'. Acts such as this have been repeated over and over again in Gaza right up to the last incursion - the killing of non combatants is now par for the course for the Israelis - you should know; you have defended it often enough.
