The Biggest Cowards on Earth.
We've seen countless brutal so-called real war movies. Just to make them look like heroes. Saving the world and all. My ass.
They can show so many movies about Hitler killing the Jews brutally. Yet theyre so scared to show the world what is actually happening for real today, everyday.
Read on.

Israel lobby groups in France are applying intense pressure to block the screening of a Palestinian documentary at the Cannes Film Festival, which began this week.
The mayor of Cannes has also told French authorities that the screening could threaten “public order.” A short segment of Nasri Hajjaj’s work in progress, Munich: A Palestinian Story, is due to be screened on Monday as part of the Marché du Film, a collaboration between the Cannes festival and the Dubai International Film Festival.
The initiative brings a number of works in progress from Arab filmmakers to international audiences and potential distributors.
On 3 May, Roger Cukierman, president of France’s main Israel lobby group, CRIF, wrote to the head of the Cannes film festival to express his organization’s “concern and profound malaise” about the planned screening of Hajjaj’s work.
Cukierman claimed that the film engages in “historical revisionism” about the 1972 raid on the Munich Olympics by the Palestinian group Black September, in which 11 Israeli athletes, a German police officer and five hostage takers died.
But Cukierman cannot know this since the unfinished film has never been screened publicly.
Cukierman nonetheless claims the screening would be a “provocation all the more scandalous in the context of the terrorist violence that affects our country, and which such a film indirectly legitimizes.” CRIF effectively uses the recent mass killings by suspected Islamic State militants in France and Belgium as a lever to shut down discussion of Palestinian history and to tar Palestinians with those attacks.
The French Jewish communal website Le Monde Juif is claiming that the screening has already been canceled after intervention by interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
It calls the alleged cancellation “a victory against hatred of Israel.” The website claim.
