Hafez Aladeen (Sacha Baron Cohen) is an Israeli Patriot

The Dictator-A Film Review by Gilad Atzmon

On the face of it, Baron Cohen’s The Dictator is a horrid film. It is vulgar, it isn’t funny and if it has five good jokes in it, they appear in the two minute official trailer. In short, save your time and money – unless of course, you are interested in Jewish identity politics and neurosis.

Similar to Cohen’s previous work, The Dictator is, once again, a glimpse into Cohen’s own tribal morbidity. After all, the person and the spirit behind this embarrassing comedy is a proud self-loving character who never misses an opportunity to express his intimate affinity to his people, their unique comic talent and their beloved Jewish state. But let’s face it, Cohen isn’t alone, after all, he has created The Dictator together with a Hollywood studio. So, it’s reasonable to say that what we see here is just one more Hollywood-orchestrated effort to vilify the Arab, the Muslim and the Orient.

In the film, the Dictator, Cohen plays General Hafez Aladeen, the Arab ruler of the oil-rich North African rogue state Wadiya. On the face of it, he is the satirical version of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, but in reality, Aladeen’s actions are no less than a vast amplification of the crimes committed by Israel and its war criminals such as Shimon Peres, Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni.

When Baron Cohen ridicules the Arab Dictators who obsessively seek WMD and nuclear weapons he should bear in mind that it is actually his beloved Jewish state that has, since the 1950s, been pushing the entire region into a nuclear race. It is his Israeli brothers and sisters who express every too often their lethal enthusiasm to destroy Iran and other regional entities.

When Baron Cohen mocks the Arab rulers who murder their opponents and kill kids, women and elders, he once again projects Israeli symptoms because it is actually the Jewish state that so often engages in systematic mass murder and war crimes on a colossal scale. Someone should remind Cohen that the pictures of white phosphorus pouring over UN shelters were taken in Gaza, not in Saddam’s Baghdad, Homs (Sirya) or imaginary Wadiya.

When Sacha Baron Cohen presents the Arab leader as a savage rapist he may want to remind himself that Moshe Katzav, who was, until recently, the President of the Jewish State is now locked behind bars after being sentenced for rape. It is therefore far from coincidence that when Cohen attempts to bond with his protagonist Dictator Aladeen, he actually speaks in his mother tongue, Hebrew. Cohen speaks Hebrew because Aladeen is not an Arab dictator, he is actually an Israeli patriot like Cohen himself.

PROPAGANDA WATCH: DUTCH ACTIVIST SMASHED IN FACE BY IDF SOLDIER

The still image of Lt. Col. Shalom Eisner striking a dutch man, Andeas Ias, as usual, made its way across global media telling the story it was designed to.
A picture is worth a thousand words, with that picture's words meant to only demonize Israel.

So as usual with provacateur staged events( with media on stand by)a predertimed narrative is displayed and lapped up by those with an appetite for it.

The full story how ever is ignored.
The part about how these people refered to what they were doing as the "flytilla" as an omage to the mavi marma "flotilla".
The part about how these activist assumed the presentation of cyclists on an innocent ride, while choosing the path of literal greatest resistance.knowing their was a check point that they were not going to be allowed to pass.
From the flags in their hand (and mouth) to the media that magicaly appeared at just the right time, all the standard hallmarks of a staged event designed to demonize Israel were present.

None of which of course absolves soldiers from smashing in the face of civilians.

The part that is left out of the story as it was distributed across the world, was the aggression shown by the "civilians" prior to one being struck in the face.
All video capturing the events as they unfolded are missing the footage of this supposed aggression.

In this video attached, filmed by the activists, they can be seen waving more people to come to the soldiers, not yield.Then the film cuts to the part where the soldiers are attacking the civilians.Gee i wonder why their is footage missing?

The follow up to the story is that Lt. Col. Shalom Eisner has been punished for the events that took place.A part of events of course that those so interested in the events of the middle east never seem to bother to report.Eisner is now excluded from military promotion for 3 yrs, suspended presently, and had a finger broken as well as damage to his wrist requiring a cast.The result of the actions mysteriously missing from the footage.

But this isnt important information to the world media.
Just that Andreas Ias was taking a leasurely bike ride with a few of his closest friends, wanting to take in the scenery with palestinian flags in their mouths and camera crews following, when a spontanious protest broke out.

Cuz that is all one needs to know.The whole story is just a waste of time it seems.The still image of Lt. Col. Shalom Eisner striking a dutch man, Andeas Ias, as usual,... more

How Obama Can Cut Gas Prices And Lose The 2012 Elections

President Obama can cut gasoline prices by one third. On any Sunday night while the markets are closed he can announce the following:

"I have decided to tone down the confrontation with Iran as it does not accomplish anything for America but does indeed harm American consumers by gouging them 2.5 billion dollars a week in higher gasoline prices. And these rising prices come at a time when the world is consuming less and producing more oil. Someone is clearly violating the laws of supply and demand and probably many of our anti-trust legal codes as well.

There is no Iranian nuclear weapons program. Iran has 20% grade nuclear fuel which is not sufficient to sustain a nuclear reaction to make an atomic bomb. All Iran has is a nuclear power plant and a medical isotopes program. Bombing it would be a violation of international law and would kill tens of millions of America’s friends in Azerbaijan, Pakistan, India, China, Burma and elsewhere

The President of Iran never said he was going to wipe Israel off the map. That was a deliberate mistranslation which is to say a lie. We were lied to about the Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction to get us into the Iraq war and about the Gulf of Tonkin incident to trick us into the Vietnam war. We can no longer afford as a nation to spend trillions of dollars on lies. Therefore I am announcing tonight a reduction of forces in the Persian Gulf and nearby states,

To save consumers 2.5 billion dollars a week by lowering the price of oil $35 a barrel I will take the following steps to properly regulate excessive speculation:

I will ban Commodity Index Swaps and Synthetic Exchange Traded Funds. Additionally, I will order Gary Gensler, the Chairman of the Commodities Futures Trading Commissions, to double the margin requirement on oil futures. If that does not work, I will double the margin requirements again. I will also order Chairman Gensler to limit the share of the speculative oil futures market that can be owned by any one firm. Neither Goldman Sachs nor Morgan Stanley nor JP Morgan has any real need to own more than 5% of the market in any given commodity. Professionals call this position limits.

Of course the above speech will cost Obama his presidency. You would think that the independents and Republicans who are opposed to war without limit and do not trust Romney with his ties to Israel and to Hedge Funds will line up to vote for Obama. They will never have a chance to vote for anyone who is opposed to the excesses of Wall Street and Israel."

The Israel Lobby will go into 24 hour attack mode on the President. Out will come the Obama is a Muslim and Obama is gay campaigns. These attacks will give cover and justification to the birther issue which they would use at the state level to knock Obama off the ballot.President Obama can cut gasoline prices by one third. On any Sunday night while the... more
