Spielberg loves the noble Jewish victim, like in Schindler's List. But heaven forbid if Jews actually fight back against their oppressors.
Someone gave this shred of evidence that the thrust of the film was against the terrorists:
Someone makes a remark that the terrorists should be treated as criminals and tried in criminal courts. This is followed by a shot of the World Trade Center. Just how many people are going to get this point, that the first WTC bombers, in 1993, were treated as criminals and look what happened? People on this forum might get it, but the average moviegoier, no.
This is a tiny bone that is thrown to the antiterrorist crowd, so the filmmakers can claim that their film is antiterrorist. Typical Ho-llywood slime tactic.
