31. Have we lost all common sense and decency?
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.07.11)
Soldiers who risked their lives to defend Israel are defamed and libeled by someone who hates Israel and sides with its enemies. This has gone on for years now without appropriate legal measures being taken against the hate- filled slanderer. It is time for Bakri to be reprimanded and punished.
32. #2 I agree

33. defamation of character is a sin and a crime
rachel ,   usa   (03.07.11)
Israel was defamed by the propaganda against jews and Israel famous in the Arab world . Its is blood libel ...and it has to stop
34. Arba director
Jorge el judio ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (03.07.11)
We know you love freedom and justice. I suggest you going Tripoli, you can have more dogs and more material to do your porno movie
35. If film is truth, then there is nothing one can do.
leo ,   usa   (03.07.11)
If film is a lie however, then this guy must be persecuted and public funds used to make it must be withheld from him too.
36.  "Dog" is a flattery...

37. The Unbearable Morbidity
HaifaGuy   (03.07.11)
What is it about the Arab psyche that makes them keep placing the blame for every single problem they have upon Jewish/American/European shoulders? How about blaming the weather, for a change?!!! Or, better yet, how about some introspective? How about you, Arabs, Palestinians in particular, turn off your "BlameThe Jew" function for just 5 minutes a day and seize the opportunity to think of alternative ways of resolving your issues, such as stopping the propaganda of hate 2wards Jews? No good things have ever been built upon HATE (the 3rd Reich is a good cautionary tale for those of you who love to hate us). Thats why all these Arab regimes are falling like a house of cards: they were all built on lies and hate. STOP HATEMONGERING, STOP BLAMEGAMING, START LOOKING FOR ANSWERS WITHIN YOURSELVES. It's not as gratifying at first but it WILL pay off, in the end. PS 5 minutes a day!
38. #24 back on the job to defame Israel after the flood?

40. Pallywood Deluxe
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.07.11)
Simple go up to your address bar, type in the the word "Pallywood", that will take you to the YouTube video...the first video that demonstrates how the Arabs lie, stage and fabricate stories for the news... for the MSM and their TV news. Once you see this, multiply it by hundreds, for some reason YNET will not let me post the link. Every time I've tried to post links lately, YNET won't print my post. I not sure why, because this was never a problem until recently. But this is how the Arabs get public support worldwide. What does it tell you if the Arabs have to lie, just get support for their position? When the truth isn't good enough? So as we saw with Jenin, The Gaza beach incident, Photo Fraud from Lebanon, The flotilla fraud just recently, The FAKE crisis (i.e. starvation etc.) in Gaza, when pictures and video's blew that out of the water. Almost all the information that comes from Arab source's is tainted and untrue. But as we see it works as a PR tactic. Even the bias BBC poll in the paper today proves how successful the Arab lying has been.
41. Defamers like him Charles Enderlin and BBC should
rachel ,   usa   (03.07.11)
be investigated and sued for dafamation of character . Their corruption is an insult and afront to all of us .
42. # 35
Thomas ,   US   (03.07.11)
If the film was true or had any relationship to it, he wouldn't have agreed to cease calling it a documentary (see fourth paragraph of this article).
43. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.07.11)
Does his "documentary" include the part where the ersatz "Palestinians" first claimed that "thousands" of noncombatants were killed? Does his "documentary" include the part where the ersatz "Palestinians" subsequently claimed that "hundreds" of noncombatants were killed? Does his "documentary" include the part where the ersatz "Palestinians" modified their claim to say that "dozens" of noncombatants were killed? Does his "documentary" include the part where the ersatz "Palestinians" finally had to admit -- following an neutral international inquiry -- that a dozen people were killed, all of them terrorists? I didn't think so.
44. To: No. 24
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.07.11)
First of all, it wasn't "savagery." A handful of terrorists were killed; this was conclusively confirmed by neutral third parties. Secondly, remember why Israel was forced to take the step in the first place. Suicide bombers, based out of Jenin. How would you characterize "people" (I use the term advisedly) that blow themselves up on crowded buses, crowded restaurants, crowded nightclubs and public places, thereby killing innocent civilians? Those are your savages, Lydia. The ones who send them are something far, far worse.
45. To: No. 23
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.07.11)
The film was a complete work of fiction, not a documentary. If you don't "get it," then you are far more stupid than I realized.
46. #35 #41
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.07.11)
Bakri has already admitted that the film was a lie, although he did not say lie, rather something like: interpretation of the truth as it could have been but wasn't. The Israeli courts and AG decided that Bakri committed no crime, and that no individual soldier was defamed so they could not sue.
47. To: Haifa Guy at No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.07.11)
The saddest part is that the ersatz "Palestinians" do not even realize that they are only hurting themselves by refusing to take responsibility for their actions and their poor choices. They have rejected an opportunity for a two-state solution on three occasions, including, most recently, one which would have awarded them 90% of the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a capital. They chose to start the second intifada instead, and where did that get them? Seven decades of unrelenting terror has also been a spectacularly bad idea -- "terrorist" and [ersatz] "Palestinian" remain very nearly synonymous terms. They have been their own worst enemy for a very long time -- Israel has grown and thrived while the ersatz "Palestinians" have become ever more fractious and divided. And still, nothing is ever their fault. I think they are congenitally unable to accept responsibility for their actions. It hasn't helped them, but I have come to believe that they are also congenitally unable to recognize how self-defeating their actions have been and continue to be. Oh well. Not our fault -- even if they think it is.
48. Settler also call IDF soldies Nazis and dogs..
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (03.07.11)
Are they going to be suing settlers as well..??
49. To: Leo at No. 35
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.07.11)
The film is a lie, and not only should Bakri be prosecuted and public funds withheld, but he should be made to reimburse, with interest, the public funds (which were provided on the basis of his assertion that he was making a "documentary" and he subsequently admitted that his film is not, in fact, a documentary) and he should be ordered to disgorge profits in order to pay damages to the soldiers for (i) defamation and (ii) slander. Isn't it amazing how these ersatz "Palestinians" take advantage of Israel's democracy and public trust in order to defame Israel? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!
50. To: Israel Israeli at No. 46
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.07.11)
By virtue of his admission that the film was a lie, the soldiers have been defamed and slandered. You touch rather neatly on a chronic problem of the ersatz "Palestinians," and Arabs generally -- when the truth is not to your liking, make up something you like better and pass it off as the truth. The problems arise when the fiction is so much more palatable, it becomes their truth. Too bad for them. Reality has never been the strong suit of the ersatz "Palestinians," and that is why they have never been able to do anything positive for themselves. Nothing is ever their fault; they are not responsible for anything. Feet of clay. Israel has thrived, and the ersatz "Palestinians" have not. They blame that on everyone else, too. A people congenitally incapable of learning from their mistakes, which have been legion and devastating.
51. what ; soldiers can't handle the truth?

53. STICKS AND STONES AND DOGS
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.07.11)
Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. Sticks and stones may break my bones but dogs may eat them.
54. This is insanity
Abed ,   Nazareth, Israel   (03.07.11)
Bakri and Tibi should go live in the Palestinian Authority or Syria and see how well they have it there. These kinds of Arabs in Israel give all of us a bad name. I'm a Christian Arab Israeli and I am PROUD to have served in the IDF. Me and all of my brothers did it and we would do it again. Christians are treated like dogs in every other Middle East country. Israel treats us well and I love this country! Bakri and Tibi are making Jewish-Arab relations harder for those of us that still think instead of just incite all the time.
55. Palestinian myths
Sam M ,   UK   (03.07.11)
The film 'Jenin Jenin' sums up the lies, distortions and misrepresentations at the heart of the 'palestinian cause' from the 1960's when the 'palestinian cause' itself was invented to the present day The langage of the holocaust was hijacked to dress up the palestinians as victims and metamorphise the israelis into the 'new nazis'. The lies seem never ending like the myth of starvation in Gaza, an area officially designated by the UN as near the top of the world obesity table. Even the sight of a wailing pal in front of the worlds tv cameras with arms as big as joints of meat is lapped up unquestionably by the worlds media. Fact historically there never was a 'palestinian nation' nor a palestinian 'national identity'. Many documented references can be found on the internet confirming this fact, like the following excerpt below from Arafat in 1970: "The question of borders doesn’t interest us… From the Arab standpoint, we mustn’t talk about borders. Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean. Our nation is the Arabic nation that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond it….. The P.L.O. is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism. What you call "Jordan" is nothing more than Palestine." So why expect any truth from the odious Bakri? He's just peddling the same well rehearsed lies we've come to expect from palestininians and their numerous supporters.
56. at least some dogs
Zimmerman ,   Canada   (03.07.11)
Do not kill for pleasure
57. The problem within the Israeli Left
William ,   Israel   (03.07.11)
This movie was never based on facts nor directed as a documentary, yet the Leftists allowed the term "documentary" to remain on "Jenin, Jenin" The film itself was based on fictional accounts which Arafat used to convince the UN that 500 people were massacred, while never touching the subject of Arab war crimes in the form of explosives labs placed inside residential buildings with often fatal consequences. The artists have no right to spin lies and provide more "credible" labels in order to increase sales or circumvent critics. That's called false advertising and is ILLEGAL!
58. #3 - please, Salma, in your mind, Arafat is truth teller
William ,   Israel   (03.07.11)
like when he organized fake funerals for the film cameras, or the fake death of Al-Dura in Gaza to solicit international pity. Do you know who else told the "truth" this way? Grand Mufti Al-Husseini - and he was the root cause of your pain until today. Enjoy your "bliss"

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.07.11)
Thank you very much for standing up to be counted. G-d bless you and your family.
60. Bakri is a dog
Jewish Warrior   (03.07.11)
Every day, we see more Arab-Israeli treason. While Druze and Circassians, some Christians, and even a few Muslims have proven their loyalty time and again, its really disheartening to see a large sector of Israeli society becoming a fifth column.
