Today's Wall Street Journal has an editorial on this movie.

It points out the bias against Israel and Jewish values in the movie:

The rewrite screenwriter Spielberg hired (both Jewish) believes the creation of modern Israel was bad and wants Saharon to be found a "war criminal."

The movie plays on Jewish stereotypes, it shows the Israelis totaling up the cost of every killing.

The Palestinian targets are shown as old, kindly, infirm or shot in bed and no connections are made as to how bad they were to merit being targets.

The actual slaughter of the athletes is at the end of the film and makes the Olympic massacre seem like a reaction to the Israeli killing of the Palestinian targets, not the other way around.

Why do American liberal Hollywood Jews like Steven Spielberg seem to hate modern Israel? Why do they think being Jewish means being a pacifist patsy? Have they forgotten Hanukkah is based on the Maccabees victory over the Persian Seleucid empire?
