From the Back Cover

Terror bombing after terror bombing, day after day. A sidewalk café becomes as dangerous as a military outpost. A simple trip to the supermarket becomes a horror of flying nails, glass and death. How do Israelis deal with this pervasive terror? How do they explain their near-solitude in the world or their real feelings towards Arabs? These are some of the questions asked in this film, weaving interviews with street footage from places of terror bringing you closer than news footage can ever make possible. It's as disturbing as it is important as a historical document of the turbulent present times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard truths, September 26, 2006

By 

D Darkman (New York State) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Israel in a Time of Terror (DVD)

People today are so tracked into political correctness, that they fail to see the exceptions to the rule. There really are terrorists out there! There really are groups who are bending Palestinian-Arab culture to produce unlimited numbers of suicidal killers. How do they do it? They produce Sesame Street-like shows that teach the joys of martyrdom, dressing little kids up in suicide vests. They produce "trading cards" for each suicide bomber, for the kids to collect... etc. It's hard for our Westernized, peace-loving culture to accept, but the truths of this film should not be dismissed as some "anti-Israel propaganda"... the ugliness depicted in this film is very real, and will shock people who are living their quiet lives thinking that everyone around the world is trying to live a similarly quiet and peaceful life. The lesson that radical Islam is producing some horrible things, should not be lost on us today. Don't dismiss this film so quickly. And if you want to see an even stronger, better film of this time, check out "Obsession" from HonestReporting.

This review is from: Israel in a Time of Terror (DVD)

This is a documentary which gives the viewer a peek into the real Israeli heart of hearts. No other country has gone through so much in such a short time, and emerged with such an optimistic outlook - based on faith in God and faith in their country as surviving Democracy. Countless news reports show Arabs demonstrating their hatred against Israel. But this
finding any indications that Israelis hate anyone is not an easy task. News reports show several Israelis lying in the streets after being attacked by Arabs. However, the world news media never track down the Israeli "wounded bystanders". Were they to do this they would find these innocent Jews with nails in their brains, missing body parts, and psychological handicaps brought on by never ending unprovoked Arab hatred. Yet the undaunted Israeli spirit shines forth as if to say to God "we will pass your test this time". I am a Christian who is proud to love the Jews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Realism, March 4, 2005

Realist - See all my reviews

This review is from: Israel in a Time of Terror (DVD)

IT's a shame that in the 21st century, people cannot seem to understand that the Nazi tactics of the Nazis have been revived, now by Arabs and Palestinians. At least the Nazies disposed of the bodies. The Palestinians, however, leave the cleanup to their victims, whose survivors are left to pick up the cruel pieces of their lives.

No one is trying to vilify an entire people here. But the entire people should rebel against the Nazi propaganda that bombards them via the Palestinian Authority media, television and radio, day in and day out. Why are textbooks that teach JEws are vilains, and good only for killing okay?

These things are not okay, just as murdering Jews because they are JEws is not okay.

This is a film that provides the realistic situation of Jews in Israel today, afflicted by terrorism. To defeat the problem, defeat the terrorism, and the ideology that supports it.

Only then will the Palestinian people earn the right to statehood and democracy that they so rickly deserve. Their leaders--not the JEwish people--are to blame for all the horror.
