1. World applauds film about butchering Israelis
Efi ,   Tel Aviv   (01.17.06)
Sick assholes, may they taste their own medicine.
2. There is no "Palestinian" nation.
Palestiniansareamyth ,   USA   (01.17.06)
More Arab propaganda from a terror supporter. Terrorists suck and so does this movie.
3. The Arabs claiming to be Palestinian
Ann ,   USA   (01.17.06)
The Arabs claiming to be Palestinian are only good at repeating their lies so many times that they believe in them. In general, in the Arab world, the make-beliefs are presented as facts and reality when it fact, they are nothing more than fantasies.
4. so so
(01.17.06)
insted of searching why the world supporting such film and why the world understood the idea of the film and they didn't call the film a terrorists movie and they forbid it , you start acuusing the world with anti-simitism and Jews haters ..... the problem that you don't want to understand the new global system which do not axept any more any occupation and that all the old zionists tricks became known to the world , you became like an open book for everyone who think a little bit , the world is getting now anti-Israel not anti-simitism .... the Jews around the world they live in allomst in peace , so the hate is not growing against them but against Israel , and the world reconised that most of the present problems around the world is because of the blind supoort they gave before to Israel and with ignoring the right to live for the Palistinians and treating them allways like they are borned as terrorists , i don't support any killing of inocent people but the Israeli army killed alot of inocent people too ... and let's face the truth ... if the Palistians didn't struggel and didn't fight and even their terror attacks without it the world would ignore them completly and they would have to live misrables under the occupation and the their nation would be forgotten ... the world is like a big jungle , big animals kills the small animals and if the smal one didn't fight for his life even if he has no chance but maybe he will hurt the big animal and one after one the big one will be weak or the big one will change his policy and try to be good and fair leader ... and this what the Palistians did ... they didn't kill the big animal but they are hurting him one after one till the big one give them their freedom to live in peace . face your self once right before you accuse everybody with such imaginations and igoring the truth ... this IF you want have one day real peace .... by the way it seams that this movie will hit more than Spielbergs Muenich .
5. Film Wins - Sensibility Loses
Zoharah   (01.17.06)
It is a horrifying portent of the future for the safety of all Jews everywhere to realize that the world's community is made up of the radical (sick) chic, the highly misinformed, the airheaded brainwashed, the academic society, the out-n-out anti-Semitic, the Hollywood honchos who can't seem to bend over backwards enough to kiss the a$$es of these film-making terrorist murderers (perhaps those honchos are getting a kick-back from the Saudis?) and the ever-present self-hating Hollywood Jew who seems to believe that appeasement for these murderers via nice shiny awards (in this case) for their sick causes (which is to facilitate the annilation of Jews and Israel) will somehow gain them acceptance into some (don't kill THAT Jew club he's helping us to murder more of Jews ) and all the rest who wish Israel to disappear, but who I haven't mentioned, but are nonetheless, just as frightening. I apologize for the run-on sentence but to realize that for the masses (both seemingly intelligent and downright stupid) to tout the causes of a group of lying, pretending, and butchering people whose culture is none other than one of death and destruction and to award them for their horrific deeds, is mind boggling. Well, so was the destruction of the Second Temple, so was the Inquisition, so was the Pogroms, so was the Holocaust, so are the trumped-up boycotts against Israel, and so are suicide (homicide if you ask me) bombings of innocent Israeli civilians (which the world seems to care nothing about.) The world begrudgingly "gave us" (our own Holy Land) Israel; but now they are ready to sell us out because they can't take the heat and the pressure of the terrorist entity funded by the Saudis, and whomever else. As Paul Newman said to Eva Marie Saint in Exodus "We have no friends." Nothing could be closer to the truth, and something we need never forget. And, we still don't, (except for a few decent non-Jewish human beings) we still only have each other.
6. palestine on film
joshua z. ,   NY, USA   (01.17.06)
i've seen it and the film is good - apparently none of the comment-writers have seen it. first of all, see the film, then complain about it. second, we have to accept it, as hollywood is now doing, that there are palestinians. no more fantasies that they don't exist. they even make films, decent ones.
7. All that misses is palestine in ancient history books
Jul ,   Paris   (01.17.06)
Joshua may be right to say that there are now palestinians but they're a nation, an identity that was artificially created in the 1970's as a convenient tool toward independence. Arabs and more specifically arabs from the territories started to communicate around using the notion of palestinian people. Any historian would tell you that the palestinians from ancient times lived around Gaza and were phenicians who settled there, certainly not arabs as our modern day so-called palestinians. The wise trick took hold, unfortunately simply because when you defend the underdog, you tend to use his own language not realizing you're simply raping history from behind. Now the damage is done, no longer the time to fix that but still time to remind the world that Jews are a nation who had a country in this very place, who deserve a country not only because they've suffered but simply because they are there and successful, that Israel is 21000 sq.km : an oil-less speck in the middle east. Similarly to what the iranian president could say : if arabs are so concerned about the palestinian struggle, let them offer a piece of their extensive lands !
8. America seeing the Palestinian's point of view more now!
Devin ,   USA   (01.17.06)
After Munich and now Paradise Now, America is finally becoming used to the Palestinian point of views rather than taking the one-sided Israeli view at face value. I'm glad that America is opening up to why the suicide bombers did what they do, and all fingers point to the oppressive Israeli occupation and the denial of human rights by Israel. This film has gotten all the pro-Israelis riled up,and I'm LOVING IT!!
9. Keep this stupid discussion on...
Sam ,   Alquds, Palestine   (01.17.06)

and thank you hollywood for recognising the palestinians as a victim ( FINALY ) .. # 7 DREAM ON , or better wake up and face reality ......
13. Hurray
Desperate   (01.17.06)
Palestinian film wins the "Golden Gobbels" award for propaganda films. On another note I am looking for a cast, my movie is going to be about the 19 suicide bombers of 9/11 and the moral questions and internal dillemas of Usama Bin Laden before the attack, I am sure I will enjoy great comments from the fluralist press and especially from relatives of those killed in the symbolic and justified anti opression act of knocking down the twin towers.
14. Joshua; "Palestinians" don't exiist!

15. financing this absudity
jj ,   canada   (01.18.06)
Did you all know that this movie was financed by Israeli tax payers?How stupid can Israelis get.
16. 13- good idea
(01.17.06)
The USA is FAR from innocent for its foreign policies- the only way this conflict will be resolved is , if people look at ALL sides- and try to understand the human dilemma- and if the USA can and will do this- it will probably include the US WELARE to ISRAEL to be stopped!!! sorry.
17. to the "clever" number 4...
stephane ,   france   (01.18.06)
firstable excuse my english,but i maybe speak english better than you speak french....so you will understand.i've just read the 3 first lines of your roman of 50 lines,and people like you disgust me so much that you don't deserve the honor that i read all.just know that even if u write 50 lines you won't change a fact:a movie valorising terrorists has won an award and it's a shame.if you had a fiancee,a friend,a brother murdered by animals represented in this movie as "heroes",you will maybe not like this movie so much.but don't worry for the jews,because we r all with israel,and your heroes will go on dying but israel is here 4 ever.

19. LESS THAN GOLDEN GLOBES
DEBRA ,   USA   (01.18.06)
THE GOLDEN GLOBES ARE AWARDED BY A GROUP CALLED, "THE HOLLYWOOD FOREIGN PRESS." IT IS MADE UP OF 85 FOREIGNERS WHO ARE FILM CRITICS. A FILM CAN WIN WITH AS FEW AS 5 VOTES FROM ANY OF THESE THESE 85. HOLLYWOOD,ITSELF, HAS COMPLAINED THIS IS A WORTHLESS JUDGMENT MADE BY TOO FEW PEOPLE. I AM NOT SURPRISED THIS FILM COULD GARNER 5 LOUSY VOTES FROM THIS ORGANIZATION. AND THE VOTES WERE PROBABLY BOUGHT. WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS AT THE OSCARS. THIS FILM WILL NOT WIN.

Mercie pour votre tres polit reponse , i don't think that you can speake more languages than i can ... any how this is not the case now ... the problem that i am facing now one like you his heart full of hate and his brain is empty , i lost much more people than you lost in the wars against Israel but still i am not full of hate like you do and i don't hate anybody and if went on reading the rest you would find out this , but like you said you didn't cost your self a few seconds more to read the rest from my post , so there is no need to waist my time and to write more for one like you ... with people like you there will never be peace because you look under your feet and not more .... enjoy your hate ... et bon journee
21. #10 - Big difference between histories
Sharon   (01.18.06)
The English and other early settlers in America had no ties to the country - a very different history than that of the Israeli people. Look it up. Substituting exclamation points for knowledge as you and others like you would do only fools the foolish.
22. "Triumph of the Will" was also critically acclaimed
Logic ,   Israel   (01.18.06)
23. To # 19
Truely Palestinian ,   Ramallah   (01.18.06)
It doesnt really matter who voted for the movie and who didnt. As long as this award would make ppl all over the glode interested in watching the movie and understanding the conflict better. By the way i guess you have to check how many awards it has already won before you say anything ;) It doesnt matter if it wins the oscar or not. It already made its effect. And guys i think all of you are mature, educated ppl. Try to find more polite way to prove your points. This is being said by a person from the third world As you call us :)
24. Osama should make a movie of 9/11 and get a Globe!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.18.06)
By now we are used to the anti-Israeli stance taken by the media. After all, CNN, The BBC and Sky News call Arab Terrorists who kill Jews in Israel and Americans in Iraq "Militants" but when it comes to the attacks on London last July there were called "terrorists" by Sky News. Further evidence of the stupidity of the award for "Paradise Now" is that it is Palestinian as Gefilte Fish is Chinese! The movie was made by Israelis and filmed in Sweden with two Palestinians. Once again, we see that it’s OK to kill Jews and the world press sees Israeli dead and maimed as the result of “Islamist Militants”. Its time that the media forced to show how much of their organizations are Arab owned. Remember, a big shareholder in Time-Warner, owners of CNN, is Saudi Prince Al-Walid bin Talal bin Abdulaziz. Further he has a large shareholding in Rupert Murdochs News of the World, owners of Sky TV and Fox News. I quote the following from LibertPost.org: "A Saudi prince who owns shares of the Fox News Channel claims he persuaded network chief Rupert Murdoch to change a screen banner during a broadcast that identified the recent unrest in France as "Muslim riots." Speaking on a panel at the Arab and World Media Conference in Dubai Monday, billionaire Prince al-Walid bin Talal criticized U.S. media for being generally "pro-Israel" and said Arabs are not doing enough to counter that, according to Middle East Online. The prince then pointed to his own experience as an example of what can be done. During the violent street protests in France one month ago, the prince said, Fox News ran a banner at the bottom of the screen that said "Muslim riots." Rupert Murdoch "I picked up the phone and called Murdoch ... [and told him] these are not Muslim riots, these are riots out of poverty," al-Walid said. "Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from Muslim riots to civil riots." Now you know where the anti-Israel propaganda in the media comes from and its power. One might ask if the “arch-militant”, Osama bin Laden, was to make a movie praising the 9/11 bombing of the "Zionist United States" would the Foreign Press Corps award him a Golden Globe? After all, our billionaire Prince al-Walid bin Talal might pick up the phone ………
25. CELEBRATING THE BREAKING OF G-D'S LAW: "YOU SHALL NOT MURDER
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (01.18.06)
G-D commanded: "YOU SHALL NOT MURDER" The jihad against Israel is global! The movie gives great encouragement to Islamofascists that murdering Jewish innocents gains approval of international prizes. Israel is one part of the global jihad in the Thirld World War for world domination and subjugation by Islam. Approving the murder of Jewish innocents will result in a massive increase in the number of human bomber murderers throughout the world. Do only death merchants make movies? Where are movies on: The heroic security guards who block Muslim human bombers with their own bodies. Willing to give up their lives in order to save innocents. Jews and Jewish doctors who spent their lives helping others, savagely snuffed out by Muslim human bomb assassins. The great love between husbands and wives stolen by Muslim human bombers. One heart-broken Jewish woman said of her murdered husband

One heart-broken Jewish woman said of her murdered husband: "G-d gave him to me. G-d took him away. I had the privilege of being his wife." Gadi Shemesh, 34, and his wife Tzippora, 29, pregnant with twins, were murdered by a homicide bomber on King George Street in Jerusalem. Their little daughters left orphaned. One of the orphans often picks up the phone, pretending to call her father, "Where are you? Why don't you come home?" The condition of the survivors of Islamic barbaric attacks is often horrifying. Paradise Now aggressively seeks to legitimize and encourage the savage maiming and murders of Jewish innocents. Is it true that Israel's government financed Paradise Now with Israeli tax dollars? Palestinian Authority society are taught murdering Jews is the highest goal in life and attains Paradise. http://www.pmw.org.il/AFD.html

30. Please don't count Hollywood
judith ,   texas   (01.19.06)
Believe me, Hollywood only did this as a statement...that it is indifferent to what the majority of Americans feel... Spelberg has sold out his own people and he will reqret it someday...what can you expect from the heathen worshipers of self indulgence.! There is never an excuse for suicide bombers...they are in for a rude awakening when they get hear what the Master really will say! Israel is the Apple of His eye...always will be...
