as one cause he talk in third person and not first, he doesn't use words like my country first generation he keep using holocaust surviver as them like the jews, ironic it is more disgusting from what I understoon Lapid's father was holocaust survivor and he sould show some respect, his way to get easy attention is pathetic.

Why is Israeli tax money going to support it? If he wants to create another propaganda piece (as if we don't have enough already!) on the Arabs in Ramallah, then let him get money from Iran and Saudi Arabia. Why should Israelis support a film about "Palestinian" issues.? It's their problem that they are ruled by a corrupt, inept, and terrorist regime under Fatah/Hamas...

what ever. I ment see himself.

but now I do he was in the tv series of Askimo Lemon, hahaha and now look at him, baaaaaa that show was something, but enough with the reruns. after a while it is boring.

I've yet to read why the film's focus changed from two Jewish girls to two Palestinian girls in Ramallah. Did Segal simply conclude he'd get a more sympathetic audience in foreign markets?

Its funny how dishonest a 'journalist' can be, and how many will follow. Did Lapid question the director or writier of the film before making his charge? Apparently not. Yet he makes an allegation and Israelis never question the basis, or lack thereof, before they decide. Are Israelis reallly so cowardly that they will make judgments before ascertaining the facts. Somebody says the film is comparing the Palestinian plight to the Holocaust and Israelis, ever so paranoid of the exposure of their activities, immedietly decide that the charge itself is sufficient cause to denounce the film.

We are producing people in this country that aid the enemies in the name of "art". It is high time to drill the reality of the world we live in into their head, but with this supreme court???? I think we are doomed.

you are a thief and liar. not an artist.

can not be called "Personal Holocaust". It`s too cheap. Now, trying to earn money through "Personal Holocaust" is disgusting to say the least. Then, there is the cover up: Taking money for a film on Holocaust and turning it to the "Suffering of two Palestinian girls". He has to be declared a "Thief" and sued.

Ah yes, Israel the only democracy in the MiddleEast, this is very clear here! But remember the world does not need a movie, to know about the Palestinian Holocaust, especially after the film, directed by the Israeli army in Gaza recently

massacre, we still remember those children do you?

Leni Liefenstahl was also a wonderful "artist" in another era - Mr. Segal might learn a lot from her skills!

there are plenty of enemies within. after they are finished with the jews, they will go back to their suburbs in their home countries

Let him express his "truth" all he wants. But not with public funds. And not under the auspices of the Israeli Film Fund. If his "truth" is so right and truthful, let him pay for it out of his own pocket, not mine!

Instead of crying when they are hit back for each terror attack they carry out. They and their fellow terrorists are a clear danger to the world and they should pay for each terror attack they plan to carry out or actually commit.

There is no evidence he compared this Holocaust to the Occupation. He even says he dosnt and you are all already judging him. Didnt he say he fired the guy who made the brochure? God sometimes ppl on Ynet read a headline and ignore the article. This was probably the stupidest thing on this site today and it already has 20 comments. The best part of it where the quotes from the director. He sounds like a really smart guy. He is right that people shouldnt compare suffering. It's not like people havent made that comparison b4 tho. Only Israelis think its taboo.

I think the artist's name is Maplethorpe and he did a lot of gay porn with public money. There was a big outcry. Truth is, the director was and remains dishonest - and yes, the Holocaust is taboo. If you can't see the difference between a Jew in Poland, 1939-45 and the Pals today, you need to give this director your money.

Having seen a previous film at a festival in Toronto ( name mercifully forgotten)- film consisted of wholesale gratuitous fornication with all sexes including an itinerant Bhuddist monk- Yonatan probably thinks that Israel bashing sells better than sex- He would probably sell his family if they fewtched a high enough price- fooyah!

I was hoping to see in ESKIMO more sex scenes, damn, anyway you r right he is in yerning for quick publicity, and will do anything to get it, but than again most left wingers do that that is their way to say to the world: " I am in pain, and I need attention" the problem is they do that on innocents back which disgusting, they exploit the conflict and and add to the problem, so not only they don't contribute they do much harm to every body, the even encorage palis to demonstrate the violance can cause people to get hurt, and they will never take the responsibility for it, they will let palis get arrested in stead of them. and the funny thing is that Palis r not smart enough to realized that they r being exploited for personal use, in the USE AND LOSE policy, BTW that is very famous British method.

We can't fight antisemitism in France, because the antisemitism is spreaded each week on TV channels, which display israeli films. These films y present Israel as a vicious state prosecuting the poor palestinian victims. Financing such "artistic productions" means perversity.

The real problem is not this third class unimportant producer. The real problem are the people who lightly administrate public money. It is stupid to analyze what to fund and what to not exclusively by the artistic taste of a group of biased critics that everybody knows what they think. Part of the reasons to fund or not, by the state should be a political analysis. Enemies of the state are simply out!

Sounds like Sagall is double talking. Brochure (in English) says one thing while the brochure (In Hebrew)says something else. Yasser Arafat used this trick all the time.I'm sure Sagall was hoping to get a pat on the back from the Jane Fonda, Danny Glover crowd. Or at the very least- 30 pieces of silver.
