Government of a country doesn't like a film criticizing it

WHOA HOW SHOCKING

1 IAintThatGuy 2018-02-13

Telling the ambassador not to even go to a screening of the movie at the "Israeli film festival" is kind of going an extra step.

1 ralpher313 2018-02-13

I'm pretty sure that my country (Poland) would have done the same if some Polish director made a movie about the story of a Pole ratting out Polish Jews to the Nazis. We're basically second to none when it comes to nationalist pettiness.

1 IAintThatGuy 2018-02-13

They're making waves these days (also some good drama on european subreddits about the new polish laws).

Didn't your country just banned mentioning the death camps y'all had?

1 SuperObviousShill 2018-02-13

More specifically, the death camps that would not have existed if it weren't for extensive polish collaboration. There's a reason the nazis chose to make the camps there; they felt safest in the lands of their most enthusiastic servants.

1 shallowm 2018-02-13

banned mentioning the death camps y'all had

Death camps? What death camps?

1 Namenamenamenamena 2018-02-13

Yeah and everyone thinks Poland is garbage.

1 SpotNL 2018-02-13

In most of the west, yes this would be shocking lol. They should shut up and take the criticism. At the most make a rebuttal. But that's it. Anything else is suspect.

1 I_FART_OUT_MY_BUTT69 2018-02-13

if you deserve criticism then you need to "take it in and don't even fucking think of making a noise" which is coincidentally my motto

1 PhysicsIsMyMistress 2018-02-13

When said government pretends to be the only democracy in the Middle East, it should prolly tolerate it.

1 ThenTheGorursArrived 2018-02-13

How does having an elected government mean the government can't act in it's self interest?

1 PhysicsIsMyMistress 2018-02-13

If you think that merely having elections is enough to make something a democracy, then Russia is a democracy and so is Turkey. But if you wanna be democratic, there's more you have to do, like tolerating and even pretending to like dissent.

1 ThenTheGorursArrived 2018-02-13

Free and fair elections with uaf do make a democracy, yes. Neither Russia nor Turkey has that.

Free press is necessary, yes, but that doesn't mean government officials have to sit and watch something that maligns the government. The mere fact that such a movie can be made in Israel in the first place differentiates it from its neighbours.

1 normie_girl 2018-02-13

lol more al jazeera bullshit. "ISRAEL" is not boycotting shit. wtf

1 IAintThatGuy 2018-02-13

Yeah just their government telling their ambassador not to attend a screening of the movie at the "Israeli film festival". Totally nothing official.

1 normie_girl 2018-02-13

This was Israel's nomination for the Oscars lmao

1 IAintThatGuy 2018-02-13

Seems they're pulling a Trump, where the government is not okay with the media, artists or "elites" in general disagreeing with them.

1 normie_girl 2018-02-13

Seems like you're pulling a trump by spreading fake news lol

1 IAintThatGuy 2018-02-13

What's fake here? Filmmakers make a successful movie, which pisses off the government. Government decide to react by having their official avoid the movie (which sounds bad when it's at a festival honoring their country's artists).

1 normie_girl 2018-02-13

Al jazeera is fake news

1 AlohaWarrior34 2018-02-13

You're fake news.

1 Mcfillher 2018-02-13

You're fake news.

1 AlohaWarrior34 2018-02-13

No u.

1 IAintThatGuy 2018-02-13

Really? On a lot of subjects they're the only ones with boots on the ground, and they don't have to answer to anyone.

But Al Jazeera (Arabic) is more biased. The Al Jazeera (English) team is different, and honestly I haven't seen them show bias yet.

1 MSU-Darbhanga 2018-02-13

Butthurt Muslim spotted. Can smell the kebab oil from a mile away.

1 IAintThatGuy 2018-02-13

If I was muslim I'd probably support the people at Al Jazeera Arabic though.

1 MSU-Darbhanga 2018-02-13

Are all Muslims Arabic speakers? Check your privilege.

1 IAintThatGuy 2018-02-13

Theoritically yes they should be, since the Quran is the word of Allah in Arabic, supposed to be his true language (even though translations are tolerated).

1 MSU-Darbhanga 2018-02-13

Theoritically

Imagine shilling for a network run by the state sponsors of Muslim Brotherhood. Imagine unironically thinking they'd be neutral about the conflict that gives Muzzies heart attacks from Ireland to Cathay.

An example cited from earlier years was a report in Al Jazeera that Jews had been informed in advance not to go to work on the day of the September 11 attacks, which was criticized by an October 2001 editorial in The New York Times. An often-repeated example involves an on-air birthday party organized by Al Jazeera's Beirut bureau chief for a Lebanese militant convicted of killing four Israelis, including a four-year-old girl. Al Jazeera greeted Samir Kuntar, released in a July 2008 prisoner swap, as a hero. A more recent example given by the article is the now defunct weekly show "Sharia and Life" by Yusuf Qaradawi, an Egyptian cleric who, according to a February 2011 article in The Atlantic, "argues clearly and consistently that hatred of Israel and Jews is Islamically sanctioned."[7][8] Subsequently, the Al Jazeera television station admitted that its coverage of Israel's release of convicted Lebanese terrorist Samir Kuntar violated the station's own code of ethics.

1 DistortedLines 2018-02-13
