none is going to believe any film from paliwood anymore, many thanks. just the thought of debating the fiction film in criminal court is a good reward in it self. :)
2. some slander
observer   (01.06.10)
unless individual soldiers were named, or unless the film claims that each and every soldier committed these crimes, the case will not even get to court. You can't slander an unnamed person.

the maker of the movie, cause the movie is fiction, there were never 500 dead in jenin, and they sue him for slander. learn how to read.

The 'slander' suit was already dismissed by an Israeli court. The curious thing is the isea of a 'private' criminal suit. I have never heard of this 'legal' recourse. In all other countries, criminal cases are prosecuted by the state or not at all. Is this another example of the kangaroo justice system in Israel?

UN fact finding mission was never allowed in Jenin, and the team was disbanded. The UN report was written without a visit to Jenin or the other Palestinian cities in question and it therefore relies completely on available resources and information. The report accused both the Israeli army and Palestinian militants of endangering the lives of civilians. 52 Palestinian deaths had been confirmed by April 18, up to half may had been civilians. The report didn't say there was a massacre, and didn't say there wasn't a massacre. The reporters had not been in a position to make judgments.
