1. With love you are selling out your country
(01.24.18)
with a fictional story? Self hating jew defeatist.
2. Let's get the record straight
(01.24.18)
A work of finction portraying the army that stand to protect you day and night while you are making movies using tax payer's grants, serves the BDS propaganda.
You have no self respect or dignity. You are a fifth column, most likely with Kapo ancestry.
3. As always she proves she's 100% correct& a patriot!

4. if it were "Andalusian" then it would be ok
Wambosi ,   Israel   (01.24.18)
It has always amused me that Minister Regev insists on calling North African Jewish and Mizrachi Jewish cultures "Andalusian".
What does she think? that by calling them Andalusian it makes these cultures European?
What does she think? that by calling them Andalusian it makes these cultures less Arab Culture infused?
Because the North African Jewish Culture and Mizrachi Jewish Culture are infused with the culture that surrounds them and that culture is Arab Culture.
Why is she ashamed of that? Or is it that she's not ashamed of exhibiting her be prejudices and ignorance by reducing all other cultures to serve her political needs.
Really? when will we see the day when after looking at a map of Spain she will see that in Spain there is also a region called Galicia...and so suddenly in order to compete with the Ashkenazi Galitizaner culture she will decide that North African and Mizrachi culture is really Spanish Galitzianer from Galicia!
All of this serves as a preamble to say: She admitted she didn't see this movie and so all she is capable of is a knee jerk misinformed political commentary.
Perhaps she would do all of us a world of real service if she asked her Ashkanazi husband to explain all of this to her.
5. Culture Minister is right
Tova   (01.24.18)
The Oscars would have torn Israel. Hollywood is very Liberal and most Hollywood entertainers have no concept of the middle east. And sadly the Jews in Hollywood would also ridicule Israel just to save themselves.

Withdrawing Foxtrot was the right thing to do. As it does insult the IDF.
Ministry Regev well done. I would have done the same.

6. Tova: Min. Regev is so right she's wrong
Fulgencio ,   Israel   (01.24.18)
7. The only reason most Israeli "artists" stay in Israel is...
3rdRate"Artists" ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.24.18)
they couldn't make it anywhere else in the world and here they
have been getting tax payers to pay for their psychopathic
Self Hate Syndrome and 3rd rate Post Zionist Anti Israel
propaganda films that no one goes to see and no one else in the West would even hire them to make a third rate "art" film
May these people go from disaster to disaster
and the People of Israel said "AMEN" !!!!!
8. We love our Miri& want more like her. The "Shenkin-Elite"can
(01.26.18)
go and drown in their lattes while singing Internazionale & quoting Marx and Mao...
Dumb bunch of navel-gazing, balls-licking Quisling-dogs they are....
9. 3rd rate Jew in Israel is better than 1st class Jew in USA
Nahash Tzefa ,   Israel   (01.25.18)
White House.
Because we 3rd rate Jewish artists are cannon fodder that covers the A$$es of the fine 1st class Jews in the USA White House and in the USA in general.
10. An excellent film
Joe Wyse ,   Hadera   (03.21.19)
Foxtrot is an excellent film and, though set in Israel, deals with universal basic themes that countries and nations in conflict have had to live with since time began . If Miri Regev had studied the Illiad she would know that, but that is too much to ask for our so called minister of so called culture.
