This Lebanese filmmaker (I have not seen any of his films and won't see any of his films) has a new silly film about a silly love story based on a silly plot by Yasmina Khadra (the latter told Haaretz in an interview that both Arabs and Israelis are mere victims and that the only culprit is the US and its love for Israel, which is bad for Israel). He shot the film in Israel and used Israeli actors. The dumb filmmaker (he really is very dumb, please see any of his interviews on youtube) said that he could not hire Arabs to play Israelis because that would not be proper. The dumb filmmaker does not know that we know that he worked on the silly Showtime series, Sleeper Cell (which contained the typical stereotypes about Arabs and Muslims and where the only good Muslim is an FBI agent, while the rest are all terrorists) hired an Israeli actor to play the main Arab (terrorist of course) role in the series. He had no objection at the time. It is shameful that the Lebanese state did not apply the law against Doueiri who is now rushing to Zionist media to claim that he is a victim of anti-Israel repression in Arab society. That claim always leads to awards in the West, especially for those without talent. Hell, any Arab or Muslim in the West can write a silly story about love between an Arab and an Israeli, and he/she would surely win Oscars, Nobel, and Pulitzer at the same time. And since this silly director is obsessed with awards and represents all that I mock about Lebanonese culture (he in fact claimed in an interview with BBC Arabic that "the president of Oscars" called him and told him to apply and told him that he has a good shot at winning. Kid you not), he should get the award for prostration before Zionists. You now can figure out what type of a person we are talking about. Look what he told this Israeli paper: "“I hated Israel’s guts during the 1982 war and the 2006 war, but I have done my questioning too. I’ve changed.”" So this buffoon has changed although Israel has not changed. He is willing to change some more in return for more Western awards from the Zionist white man.
