Review of Exodus (1960) by Kenneth L — 20 May 2011

This is of course the Zionist propaganda film for the ages. The definitive one. And as propganda that told a story must be one of the great epic masterpieces in that category for all times. Leni Riefenstahl and Frank Capra are here by turned to students in the execution of this political artform.

The burst in your chest stand at attention tablaeu that coursed through like a mighty flood drumming its message; "This land is mine!" was endowed with such absolute certainty that it swept all restraining doubt before it.

The reverential grand panning of vast vistas were of such self evident pronouncement of themselves that this is a place that never left those now seeking its home. Starting right off with the British concentration camps for Jews caught trying to escape the chaos of Europe's attempted extermination of them to the one safe haven that promises to provide the sovreign territory vouchesafed that it'll never happen again.

And here it is happening again! To placate their Arab intrests. And thus begins a string of great and small pageants telling the Israeli struggle against impossible odds to establish itself in just the most reassuring reification of the perfectly rose colored mirror of its Jewish peoples ideolization of their virtuous innocence of any crimes of displacement and genocide against any and all implanted deep in that soil already.

It in the end culminated in such a fictional farce with the fate of Ari Yesha and its tribal chieftan shiek being purely the result of the hardliners under direct staybehind Nazi command that the British just never bothered getting around to ferreting out considering how much havoc for the British such left-intact formations would surely creat.

Really Dalton. Really Otto. Then the closing prayer recited over the lynched shiek & Karen's shared grave the shared cause with the Arab Moslems for a full shareing of peace and prosperity who were at that moment by the end of that war being uprooted by the millions for no other crime other than not being Jews.

It could have been called Birth of a Nation II.
