I don't know who wrote this but: #1. I thought "Palestine" was the name the Romans gave Israel, and their occupation of Israel occurred after the Greeks. #2. I seriously doubt there are more than a handful Jews who don't know that Chanukah is about the Chashmonaiim rising up and defeating the Syrian Greeks. #3. I don't get what the writer thinks is controversial about this subject.

Jewish story filmed by staunch Catholic.

OTOH, what the story portrays, the overrunning of the Temple for multi-cultural use is no different that allowing Tibetian monks or Moslems to use the Altar in Catholic Churches or some of the other rubbish that is going on now in post VII parishes.
