BAGHDAD,
Sept 14 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - Israeli movie makers use
the cinema industry as a tool to distort the image and goals of the
Palestinian cause in the western mentality, said an Iraqi researcher
and movie experts.
The
Zionist lobby uses its huge role in the movie industry in the west and
in the occupied territories as an effective tool of propaganda to
publicize for the notion of occupying Palestine and to win the
sympathy of the western audience, said Abdel Ghafour Al-Ne'ma in a
study entitled "The Octopus of the Zionist Cinema".
He
added that Zionists are using three main methods to manipulate the
movie industry and make it serve their interests, the first of which
is to use the Torah's stories that talk about Jews as God's chosen
people which make them superior to all other nations only by the
virtue of being Jews, said the Quds Press Saturday, September 14.
The
second method is to exploit the feeling of guilt the world has toward
the Jews because of the holocaust committed by the Nazis against them
and the third is to justify the Israeli occupation to the Palestinian
territories, he said.
The
stories mentioned in the Torah about the Jews as God's chosen people
who are in continuous struggle with their enemies are highlighted in
these movies which try to link these allegations to the current
struggle in the Middle East portraying the Palestinians as the
traditional enemy of the Jews.
The
study also said that making movies with high production capabilities
is another method to deliver a certain message the Zionists want the
world to believe, the first of which was a movie, entitled "Ben
Houd" produced during the silent cinema era in 1926 and then it
was redone with sounds and in colors in 1959.

Zionists have been using Hollywood's movie industry to spread their propaganda
|
This
movie was followed by many others, such as "Ten
Commandments" produced in 1956, "Land of Pharaohs" in
1950, "Soliman and the Queen of Sheba” in 1959, he said, adding
that all these movies aimed at strengthening the notion of Zionism in
the minds of western audiences since childhood with special focus on
the alleged right of the Jews in so called "Promised land",
he said.
Justifying
the Israeli occupation in movies depends on portraying the Arabs and
Palestinians who are legally resisting an occupation and defending
their lands as "terrorists", linking the Palestinian fighter
with Nazis, and the fabrication of heroic stories about the Israeli
"strong" soldier, he added.
Al-Ne'ma
added that the analysis of these kind of movies shows that they all
depend on high standards techniques and production, as well as
international experienced directors.
"Arabic
cinema should also depend on high techniques and experienced people to
be able to exist and compete on the international scale," he
added.
