1. THE ISRAEL DEMOCRATY IS SO WEAK. SHAME ON BARAK AND NETANYAH
(03.07.11)
2. The problem
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.07.11)
The problem is not that Bakri made the propaganda film, the problem is that the Israeli taxpayer paid for it. The people who decided to fund the film should be fired for incompetence. If they are also paid by foreign governments, they should be jailed.
3. No - One Can Silence Mohammad Bakri : )
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.07.11)
Mohammad Bakri thanks for everything ..... you're the best director in my eyes..... Mr. Bakri’s sin is his DARING TO TELL THE TRUTH in the "only democracy in the Middle East"!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mohammad Bakri, I love ♥♥♥ you so much.
4. He's typical of Arab Israeli elites
JO   (03.07.11)
Israel bashing and especially the IDF while portraying themselves as victims and suffering. It is not unusual at all. Sad though. And it shows how far Israeli Arabs of his type are from the majority of normal Israelis. It is privilege that allows him to rant. As to dogs, their are far more Arab leaders who treat their people as fodder than anywhere else in the world. They fight each other over everything and probably would use the same typology to slander their opponents.
5. The real issue
Israeli   (03.07.11)
Is not that he speaks badly about soldiers or calls them names. In a democracy with free speech, this is allowed and he can receive public funds to do so, that is a benefit in an open society and it applies to all. The issue is if he lied and exaggerated. That should be what is discussed.
6. Hahaha, israeli soldiers against a docummentary director
Ivan ,   Haifa   (03.07.11)
7. This Arab propagandist is a knife in the Jewish state and so
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (03.07.11)
is ivan mahmoud jihadi communisti anarchisti in haifa
8. Too bad the soldiers lives were put at
jason whte ,   afula, israel   (03.07.11)
risk and the other soldiers that were killed and wounded by a government that was afraid of world opinion. jenin should have been bombed and shelled totally. bakri, tibi and feldman are the faces of our enemies. I am amazed that they can say what they want to and Kach and Kahane Hai are outlawed! An anti Zionist, anti Jew like tibi can sit in the knesset and Rabbi Kahane was banned? As for the jewish community of rome seeing this nazi properganda, they should be ashamed of themselves.
9. 2 problems
Paul ,   Johannesburg   (03.07.11)
1) Why is the Supreme Court hearing testimony on Shabbat / Saturday or this is a mistake? 2) Perhaps Israel should make a movie about the suicide bombings that tool place at the time of the Jenin fable. It is amazing that all those bombings are ignored, their actions perpetrators are lost in the multitudes of countless similar acts done at the same time. Everyone remembers Jenin but not the Park Hotel in Netanya.
10. terrible
Irene   (03.07.11)
The palestinians and their supporters lie, inflame and cause bloodshed and war. And the world hungrily swallows it. They should be punished and shown to all what they truly are- garbage that is so flammable that is can burst into flames at any moment at the smallest spark.
11. Arab director calls troops 'dogs' in court
Daud ,   Arnhem   (03.07.11)
It's simple, just call him name too.
12. 3 - stop supporting terrorists
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (03.07.11)
13. @3 you said it.."only democracy" = the rest dictatorships.
(03.07.11)
14. double standards
peacemonger ,   tel aviv   (03.07.11)
Bacri is one of those Israeli Arabs who want Democracy for themselves, but getting money from the establishment to learn and to prosper, the spit on the face of the Jews; pretending to be Palestinian Arabs when abroad. They do not want to live in any Arab state, but hate the Democracy where they have political representation; but never say a word about the rights of minorities in Arab countries. Jenin was taken as a case study by armies of a very important way to fight terrorism without harming civilian population, but Bacri is a propagandist of an unholy cause: the denial of our legitimate right to defend ourselves against terror!:
15. But Jews cannot speak what we believe in Islamic countries!
Robert Blum ,   New York USA   (03.07.11)
The Muslim is allowed to express his beliefs about Jews and about Israel, BECAUSE Israel is a true democracy, even though this Muslim dog is a liar who neglects the facts that the numbers of dead Muslims in Jenin were deliberately bloated by Hamas, in order to gain world sympathy and myopic Leftist support. Why then, is Islam so violent world-wide, over mere cartoons about their little fake prophet, Mohammed, the child molesting pervert and murderer, whose religion is only a pseudo-religion with a definite political agenda that teaches hate and murder and whose Qoran initially adopted its moral dogma of any decency from the very Torah they now depricate?!
16. telling the truth
miiam v. ,   eilat, israel   (03.07.11)
dear number 3 Bakri can tell "his truth" here in Israel, "the only democracy in the middle east" somewhere else he would been put on death penalty for "his truth!!!! think about it!!
17. Mohammad Bakri typical hateful Arab
(03.07.11)
Who clearly wants to become the new saviour of the Palestinian people. Not sure how he got to direct films - directors are supposed to be creative in the way they present issues - not name call like Moron. He's a idiot.
18. @12 mike mike mike
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.07.11)
Correct your information.. Mohammad Bakri is not terrorist , he is an anti-terrorists.
19. Dogs.
Jules   (03.07.11)
Dogs are fearless, devoted and loyal. They are excellent companions. If that "film maker" had called the soldiers "snakes", that would be a problem. Otherwise he has just shown how primitive mind he has.
20. "Documentary?"
Devorah   (03.07.11)
This alleged "documentary" is contrived garbage at best. If you want to see what really happened without "witnesses" tripping over their own lies, get "The Road to Jenin" by Pierre Rehov.
21. Bakri represents Israeli Arabs
Golan ,   Modiin   (03.07.11)
and they are a fifth column.
22. If he said IDF are dogs, then world please
Yehuda   (03.07.11)
meet the snake Mohammad Bakri.
23. Are the IOF claiming that they don't kill
lydia ,   Brisbne   (03.07.11)
Or that they are called killers or that the director shouldn't make a film about their barbarity? I don't get it
24. 12 Terrorist?? You call the one who tells the story
lydia ,   Brisbane   (03.07.11)
What do you call the IOF who committed the savagery??
25. #13 I said "only democracy in the Middle East" !!!!!!!!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.07.11)
and NOT ....only democracy in the Middle east : ). A big difference between the two sentences if you can notice.
26. do not answer salma: it look for confrontation not dialog
STEPHAN ,   YAFFO   (03.07.11)
27. in Israel & most the non muslim world people love dogs
zionist forever   (03.07.11)
Its only the muslims who hate them and the Koreans that eat them. I think the troops should consider it a sign of respect if he is calling them dogs.
28. Israstinians need to go to their own country
USA   (03.07.11)
29. Bakri just another Arab liar
Brian ,   Judean Peoples Front   (03.07.11)
Anybody who has seen his fake-umentary sees that his goal is to spread propaganda. He's turned himself into an ugly excuse for an "artist".
30. "The Road to Jenin" by Pierre Rehov rips Bakris lies apart
Shame   (03.07.11)
Jenin Jenin is straight up incitement to hatred towards Israel and the Jewish Nation. Its another Pallywood production.
