I hadn't heard of it. It sounds interesting. Did you rent it?

its pretty sad, i actually bought it back then cause i just wanted to support Palestinian films and passed it around for people to watch. it shows the powerful psychological effect from the pressures of living in a restricted life under constant threat with restricted access to basic human needs and basically nothing to live for.
the other sad thing is that these were two best friends who could rely on one another when shit hits the fan and to have one of them carry out this suicide bombing while the other one did his best to persuade him not to is just.. really sad.

What choice did the bombers have?
I'm not defending it as we can obviously see it's a counter productive response, but in the end, if all your land is occupied and the media portrays you as the aggressor and as the enemy, and the enemy is at your very door with rifles drawn.....what other choice do you have in that situation but to fight back with every means available?
What choice do those Palestinians have? Some of them had to be suicide bombers and beat back the army to one day be free.
It's the same thing here if jackboots storm the property, if they stormed my home or possessions, I would have to let them have it all, I would tase all of them 100,000 volts on up and hope no deaths that day. Then I'd hike it out of there to regroup with other like minded folks, and have to ride hard against the Zionist occupation, that is if the United States was identical to Israel.
That's no joke, those people had no real choice left in their hands. Their lives depend on getting actual media coverage that will listen, because most of the media is dominated by the other side and so Palestinians have almost no one who can see them.

I don't blame the Palestinians.
It's so hypocritical of us to judge them.
Let's look back at our own history first and we'll find plenty of extremist tactics.
The entire narrative in the West is concocted by the Zionists and perpetuated by retarded Christians and bigots who are looking for a new group to hate. Except they can hide behind Jewry and say they are for equality and blah blah.
I'll never blame the Palestinians.
