tom ,   tel aviv   (05.18.12)
2. Occupied palestine???
Beary White ,   Norway   (05.18.12)
.. the egyptians was offered the strip from Israel, but rejected to be owner of more terrorists...A new offer should be given to Egypt, with the muslim brotherhood in charge. They would have no problem to asimilate more terror.
3. Who wants too see those dumb movies
Dyslexic........ ,   Israel..   (05.18.12)

8. Who cares about your stupid movie?!
Taz Man ,   USA   (05.18.12)
Just some more mindless, Muslim propaganda!
9. what a joke....
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (05.18.12)
First of all, I am positive we all have seen plenty of 'post-revolution' Egypt: police kicking and molesting young women, Islamism rampant in the streets, Kopts who are not safe anywhere, and the list goes on and on.... But hey, in light of these merry events, at least this movie director (who the hell is he anyway) knows how to sort out his priorities, to the applause of many present journalists who, as we all know, have a stalwart reputation of being the moral backbone of the global community. Well, my condolences to Medinat Israel for not being allowed to show this movie in your theaters. I shudder to think how this must cast a shadow on the impending Shabbat.
10. who cares about your f*** movie ?!
(05.18.12)
11. Yousri, you are badly informed
E. ,   Eretz Israel   (05.18.12)
It's the arabs who occupy Israeli territories!!!
12. occupied palestinian territories???
arthur ,   amsterdam   (05.18.12)
Which PALESTINIAN territories?? Was it not the arabs that chased the Jews out of Samaria and Judea? More than once?? Who is the occupier here?? Even the Jews offered almost all the disputed land to the "palestinians" but hey, what do you expect... The conflict is not about land after all. The land belongs to the ones that made it blossom and contribute beautiful things to the world. The promised and not in the least the DESERVED land!
13. Who gives
Douglas Fireman ,   Chicago, USA   (05.18.12)
a Flying fx#*#! ?
14. typical hypocrit what about your brothers in syria and iran
dovdevan ,   ashdod,paris   (05.18.12)
i m fed up with their selective indignation they think they can tell the world who is acceptable who is not ? i don't about what an egyptian whose country has been a dictature for decades thinks
15. we on to director, deep inside he's wooing israelis
ygalg ,   israel   (05.18.12)
imagine israelis will swarm the cinemas to watch his movies. in 21 century? someone should pinch his cheek, the person is delusional.
16. Is there a word for CULTURE in Arabic?
A ,   Belgium   (05.18.12)
or does jihad cover that too?
17. Let's be ... friends?
The Prophetess ,   SC, USA   (05.18.12)
"A number of great Israeli directors are my friends,..." but I do not want my film shown in Israel. Yousri, with friends like you, who needs enemies?
18. Re Film
Marty ,   Toronto, Canada   (05.18.12)
Better that Israeli's take their movie watching shekels and spend them watching Sasha Baron Cohen's new movie "The Dictator" which pokes fun at the type of leader the Arab world tend to embrace which no doubt would be the sequel to "After the Battle" any way. Anybody else here find it ironic that the film maker's family name is Nasrallah - maybe he's a cousin of the putz in Lebanon.
19. Egytian director occupation Crap
Brod ,   USA   (05.18.12)
Israel is in the Land of Israel which belongs to Israel since ancient time. The occupation crap of the Arab Islamist-Jihadist world emanates from their cesspool of deceptions, hate, and anti-Israel venom that their Luciferian god teaches them. The Battle is between the GOD of the Bible-the Creator of the Heavens and Universe and the fallen angel Lucifer who became Satan. In the End Time GOD will put an end to the dark forces once and for all.
20. Is this reverse psychology? LOL
Ram ,   London   (05.18.12)
21. appeal of forbidden fruit
Jasmin ,   Haifa   (05.18.12)
I think this director is out to get some free advertising for his film, that's all. He knows that most of us probably would never even hear about it, let alone buy a ticket. But if he says we can't, then people will go. He needn't worry about my buying any tickets though.
22. most films from Egypt are crap
William ,   Israel   (05.18.12)
So Israel can oblige the director wholeheartedly. For those who still want to indulge this trite moron, there's always uTorrent.
23. Good!
Indian in the US ,   Orlando   (05.18.12)
Good! Do not show his movies in Israel. And hope Israelis are not stupid enough to visit Egypt and spend their valuable foreign exchange supporting Egypt's tourism industry.
24. don't worry, nobody wants to see your film
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.18.12)
about the revolution that brought Islamo-fascism to Egypt.
25. mr. nasrallah
(05.18.12)
we didn't hear you complain too much about the fact that your egypt and jordan had both gaza and the west bank and east jerusalem from 1948-1967 and they still kept your "palestinian people" is squalid refugee camps, no citizenship, killed them when they rebeled, murdered them and their children when they rebeled, keot them living under disgusting conditions with poverty, illiteracy., joblessness, terrorism (used them as fedayeen to get into israel and kill israelis), used them as cannon fodder against israel. i never heard a peep out of you or a concern about your "palestinian" brothers when your country ruled over them with an iron murderous fist. where were you then? did i hear your voice? no! so, shut your hypocritical mouth.
26. He can shove his film where the sun don't shine.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.18.12)
Nasrallah's film may be good or it may not be. However, compared to the Jewish peoples' more than 3,500 year old claim on Judea and Samaria, his film is worth much less than nothing. He can shove his film where the sun don't shine, as the saying goes.
27. I can not even imagine that
Alon51   (05.18.12)
the Egyptians may to produce at least some movies. All my life I thought they were experts on female circumcision and sex with dead women. Sorry, apparently I was wrong. Oy-va-avoy is me/
28. I lived in cairo, most people in egypt are extreme islamists
Balthazar   (05.18.12)
They think islam is their culture, not their religion, because they never got educated (beside the quran)! Most egypts dont even know atheism exists on earth..
29. 28
(05.18.12)
i have news for you, sir most still think the earth is flat according to their imamas speeches. most are illiterate to the extreme. hameed aboughaze, iranian
30. Hahaha! Cheap promo for a backward "movie"
