Tragedy in the Holy Land - The Second Uprising

Starring:Tragedy in the Holy Land-Second Uprising
Studio: Mpi Home Video
Product Type: DVD
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Tragedy in the Holy Land: The Second Uprising focuses on the conflict in the Middle East exclusively from the point of view of the Palestinian people. Using standard documentary techniques, such as news footage, interviews with scholars, and commentary by visitors to the region, the long history of the conflict is chronicled in some detail. However, the film's content is so heavily slanted that it comes off as a strident denunciation of Israel and Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. The anecdotal evidence offered is often dramatic, but without a balanced airing of some very controversial material, a viewer really has no sound basis upon which to decide what is true and what is propaganda. It can be commendable to present material that may not be well publicized, and there's nothing wrong with a documentary advocating a point of view. However, this video raises more questions than it answers. --Robert J. McNamara

Misinformation on all sides........2006-10-23
Robert Strange McNamara (born June 9, 1916) is an American business executive and a former United States Secretary of Defense. McNamara served as Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968, during the Vietnam War period. He resigned that position to become President of the World Bank (1968-1981).
Robert J. McNamara is a different man, who reviewed this DVD.
One needs to read several sources with differing points of view and cross check facts. One needs to look for consistency in the native tongues and English. Was Sharon consistent in his Hebrew and English speeches? Was Arafat consistent in English and Arabic??
Decide for yourself who is honest and who deceives. Decide for yourself who is educated to Hate and Kill, and who is has democracy for all and works for life!!
Decide for yourself who manipulates the press and controls reporters more.
Stupid is what Stupid believes.......2005-12-18
On the same par as "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion". If you are racist, blind and complacent in your thinking, then this is a DVD for your collection. For a one sided attempt to glorify terrorists that blow up Arab and Israeli children, then you should buy this product and send a donation to Islamic Jihad.
FInally anohter side of the story.......2005-10-15
What do CNN, FOX News, AOL, USA Today, New York Times, Wall Disney company and the major media, radio and entertainment companies in the USA have in common?
First they are all under Zionist control, second they rule America.
There is no greater power in the world today than that wielded by the manipulators of public opinion in America. It is the media that elect Presidents and kicks them out of their office. They're the ones to distort the news especially about the Middle East.
Note that I also do have problems besides Zionism with Fascism, Muslim Extremist as all of these parties spread the hatred in the world among people.
The good new is that there are still very few unbiased documentaries that are making it. This is one of them.
You will surely find this documentary rated as one star no wonder who would have rated it that way! Watch it and decide yourself.
horribly biased film .......2005-04-16
This is a horribly biased film with an obvious agenda to make people sympathize with terrorists (not the innocent Palestinians) and condemn innocent Israelis (not the Israeli Army). A far cry from a fair documentary and there are several better titles if you're looking for real education on this issue.
The truth about the Israeli Palestinian conflict revealed.......2005-02-17
Superb documentary evidence and commentary on the conflict. I have read numerous book and documentaries about the conflict. This is cleary one of the best sources of information available. It is not propaganda or biased as many reviewers have stated. I would hate to see someone pass this one up because of angry biased reviews. This is a must for anyone who wants an introduction to what is really going on in the world outside the U.S. Good sound historical evidence is provided as well. Absolutely outstanding!!!!!
