Re: What About Israel Murdering The Wrong Guys?
[ QUOTE ]
All in all, Munich is just another layer of shmaltz on the ossified morality fable that constitutes popular understanding of the conflict, with all the trappings: Israel wants peace, never deliberately kills innocents, acts righteously if zealously in self-defense, cares not a fig for territorial aggrandizement, and so on. The notion that Munich bravely "humanizes" Palestinian terrorists to the point of challenging Israel is a joke.

Wowser! That's not my take on the movie at all and I couldn't disagree more with you. In fact part of the message from the movie is that the killing by the Israeli agents is not righteous as it is pointless and wrong. This movie shines an unfavorable light on Israel in many, many ways.
