Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
If you'd read all the reviews you claim to have read you'd know that the film isn't about "legality" or "wrong people" - it is six men speaking about what they did, why they did it, and the effect it has had on Israel, The Middle East and the world. If "wrong" comes into it, it is in moral terms, not legal ones (soerly missing from your own input).
There is no commentary to draw legal conclusions - the men speak for themselves.
The main conclusion from the film is that past actions have brutalised the Israeli people and made the Israeli regime comparable to the Nazis - that is what should concern those defending Israel, not whether these actions are "legal".
There was nothing new about dropping bombs on occupied homes to kill suspected terrorists - that has been regular Israeli practice for a long time and was highlighted during the last Gaza incursion - it is a war crime in all but name and the reason it is not officially identified as such is because of the US vetoes which have prevented the world organisations taking action (just as Russia's and China's vetoes have protected Assad's Syria from intervention.
The same vetoes and support by the extremely powerful 'Israeli lobby' is also the reason why Israel is not recognised as a terrorist state - not because the UN or Europe supports anything Israel does. Israel's behaviour has drawn condemnation from all over the world, by governments, international organisations and human rights bodies - you and your thicko/sicko buddies have continually referred to these condemnations as lies, Muslim plots, and anti-Semitism.   
You and they are a vicious idiots who twist what everything virtually everybody is saying to promote your mindless viciousness.
