Simply A Masterpiece

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This documentary is a frank and honest presentation of the facts of the Isralie-Palestinian conflict and the ongoing and distorted support of the American taxpayer ... though I am certain 99% of American taxpayers have no idea how much money is really going to Israel as America is the main support, both monetarily and militarily (money and weapons), for Israel.Watch it, pass it along to others ... there aren't many documentaries that tell the whole story of this ongoing problem and everyone should know the truth."The truth shall set you free" -- hopefully, the truth in this film will help set the Palestinian people free.

I saw this movie and have a firm opinion. The second intifada was ignited by fake and fraudulent footage on killing of Mahamad Drury by Israel soldier created by France TV. later analysis clearly showed that the France TV Channel intentionally fabricated the footage an the boy was killed by palestinian sniper. Fabrication of fake scenes to portrait Israel aggressor is a wide accepted practice. Western journalists and operators have been done this for decades; in the second intifada they had agreement with Arafat to fabricate anti-Israel news; in Lebanon war the worked for Hezbollar; in Gaza war - for Hamas. This is one more fabricated "reality" that fully contradict to the truth.

I know this may seem like only one side of the story, but the whole point is that we generally only hear the other side of it. In my opinion, this documentary brings another perspective to people's perception of the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, and makes it all feel very real. You can't fail to feel the pain of these poor people, unless you're not human.That being said, make sure you DO hear the other side of the story as well, before making your own mind up. You won't get the entire story here.Truly Heartbreaking, but everyone NEEDS to see this.

Everyone knows that each story has two sides which this movie lack off is The ability to show the other side story; If it's the Israeli side, interview the settlers, talk to the soldiers, even some government personals it compensate in showing "victim" stories again and again. as an Israeli it's hurting me the same to see mother that lost her son no matter her nationality and her religious she believes in. In august 2005 Israel begin "unilateral disengagement plan" to evict all Israelis from the Gaza Strip and from four settlements in the northern West Bank. Those days we all believed that it will bring some peace and quiet to the region and we see no alternative for any real partner in peace "Road-map" negotiations .3 years later we have no peace, the Palestinians are mostly "occupied" by themselves and by the Hamas which still controls Gaza strip, more than 5000 Mortar bombs and 300 "Kasam" missiles has been fallen into Israel, many people has been died and many more been injured .there is no "occupation" from the Israeli side. All the territory is in Palestinian hands ONLY. I don't want to imagine what would happen when Israel pull back from all the west bank. It can become much more unstable for us to live here.To call this film a Documentary is an insult to the film industry.Free "Gilad Shalit"
