Anyone else think "The Weinstein Company Home Entertainment" sounds redundant? Might as well call the movie studio "The Weinstein Company Films".
Please find me an example of a mainstream critic that's not Daniel M. Kimmel of the The Jewish Advocate jumping on the pro-Palestinian band wagon.
And I'll warn you once more to stop with the inflammatory comments. Of course I understand why that poster slogan was used (and I doubt Schnabel had much say in the matter), and don't pretend you know my feelings on the subject. This is not a political forum, so I'm not going to share them, especially since I haven't seen the film.

Do you understand why the director used that poster art in the U.S.? I don't think you do. Many critics attacked this film because they said it's Pro-Palestinian and you use the antisemitism card. Wow, that takes reverse racism to a whole new level.
I'm looking at the Rotten Tomatoes page and I count one definitively Jewish reviewer (who, in your defense, does appear to be objecting to the film's politics), and a whole bunch of guys and gals with Goy-sounding last names that are complaining about it's style over substance approach. Let's be careful not to make it easy for others to accuse us of antisemitism now. Or anti-Palestine views for that matter. Lets just keep those religious views and politics bottled up for now.
I heard 'Miral' is Pro-Palestinian. I think you mean Jewish "Critics were harsh on this one."
Critics were harsh on this one. Haven't seen it yet myself, but I love Schnabel's other films and Freida Pinto is drop dead gorgeous. I'll probably rent it.
