Michael Winterbottom scrapes the barrel floor attacking Israel
News Real Blog reports there's a new variation on Munich in the works depicting British police pursuing "Jewish terrorists" in 1940s Israel, titled "The Promised Land":
And we've come a long way since the time of 1960s Exodus, although that was an American production. But would you see a movie like that today even in Hollywood? I doubt it.
The movie is about the Zionist underground that opposed British rule in Mandatory Palestine in the early 1940s and will be set in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.But not based on a fair viewpoint. Clearly, the British are still seething at our victory of throwing them out after all the trouble they caused us with their dhimmitude and betrayal. Their moonbat elitists have not changed a bit. They've never recognized us as a true entity, and it's clear they don't intend to. No wonder Winterbottom uses the demeaning P-name the Romans came up with to reference Israel as he does.
Colin Firth is starring in the movie. Matthew Macfadyen and Jim Sturgess play British police officers tasked with stopping the Zionist underground. The story is told from the British point of view; Zionist hero Avraham/Yair Stern is the main target. This is a story never told before in any major movie production. The British labeled Stern and his comrades as terrorists and criminals. The group eventually called itself the LECHI, or Fighters For the Freedom of Israel. It was maligned as the Stern Gang by the Brits.
Stern was driven by a desire to rid Israel of British rule at all costs. He knew that the British opposition to European Jewish immigration into the Mandate meant that his brothers and sisters would be left in the hands of the Nazis and would lead to horrific tragedy.
As in Steven Spielberg’s Munich (2005) Israelis will be depicted in such a way as to produce a strong sense of moral equivalence. There are no real good guys. Everyone has done wrong. All religions have their violent extremists.
What’s worse is that British director Michael Winterbottom revealed in an interview with ComingSoon.net that he brought a significant bias to the project. He labeled Stern a terrorist and is claiming it’s a true story. He stated in his interview “…right now, we’re wanting to do a film set in Palestine in the 1930s about British police chasing Jewish terrorist groups. There’s a guy called Avraham Stern, who was one of the leaders of the Jewish underground from when Britain was controlling Palestine, so it’s set in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and it’s about police trying to capture Stern and Stern trying to kill the police. It’s based on a true story.”

The world loved the Jews as long as they were weak and powerless. The Six Day War changed the status of the Jews and the world's reaction changed accordingly. Its not the "occupation" the world hates but rather, who the Jews have become. Establishing a Palestinian state won't change the Jews' leper status among the nations.
