In Mumbai, a New Spielberg Movie Idea
By Debbie Schlussel
After the massacre of 6-8 Jews at the Chabad Lubavitch Nariman House in Mumbai, I thought, Hey, when does Steven Spielberg do the movie?
Ya know–he could take the story of the Jews tortured and then executed by Islamic terrorists and do with it what he did in “Munich.” Based on what he did in that silver screen abomination, imagine the possibilities for a future Shlemielberg epic film, “Mumbai”:
* Ignore the touching stories of Rabbi and Mrs. Holtzberg and their child, who is now an orphan, just like Spielberg did regarding the Munich victims’ children, and focus on the cutness and innocence kiddies of the terrorists who planned this attack.
* Show us what humanitarians and classy people the Islamic terrorists were–make up fictional stuff about how they bought bread at gourmet bakeries and had their daughters learn to play classical piano. Tres chic.
* Illustrate what nice guys these terrorist savages were because, like he did in “Munich”, he could make up a fake account of how an Islamic terrorist gave the Mossad agent assigned to kill him, an aspirin for his headache.
* Show that it’s really pointless and an outrage to go after those who planned the attacks because, hey, violence breeds violence, and going after the Munich terrorists brought us 9/11, right?
* Invent a fictional Mossad agent who is all weighed down by Jewish guilt and BS liberal doubt and just wants to quit because he can’t handle the killing of these “innocent” not-so-innocent terrorists.
It’s not so far-fetched. Don’t be surprised if 30 years from new, a gerontological Spielberg or one of his ilk in Hollywood does yet another revisionist version–a la Spielberg’s “Munich”–of yet another horrific terrorist attack–and those who seek a just and deserving response to terror that doesn’t involve nudge ACLU lawyers.
That’s just the way everything coming out of Lalaland is these days, regardless of the horrid box office bottom line for this drek.
Yes, I know–most of the terrorists are dead, but six are still alive and the others who planned this are alive, too, just as the planners of the Munich massacre were alive and the ones the Mossad put rightful hits on.
You forgot that he also should ignore the Holtzbergs older son- who has Tay-Sachs and is in hospice care in Israel.
