Hollywood's Reel Bad Arabs - Jack Shaheen

[mindarinas]

wasn't True Lies a parody?

[mizadorian]

Movies are all propaganda and they brainwash the viewer with the ideas that are meant to shape the views of the movie audience.

[Abdelmajid22]

The arabs have given to much to the west to be denied. Look up histor if you dont believe me. When the arabs were prospering when Islam came the west was in his darkest ages, they brought much things to europe but europe denies those facts why? then you say we are dumb and idiots. Do you know who the realy idiots are in this life? the ones that deny the truth those are the biggest idiots.

[Abdelmajid22]

Do you know what the problem is of the west. They simpley deny all the science and improvments that the arabs brought to europe. Look up the history when the arabs ruled the western countries. THey invented algebra, they invented number 0, they didnt much on the medical studies, That was all in the Islamic kaliphat era. Why does the West skip this era when they speak about istory they go from the romans and greeks to the era of the west but they skip the arabic era.

well, if one assumes good intentions, then the ugly image of Arabs is simply inherited from the European background of most Americans. One could never ignore the affect of hatred being propagated through generations even if not in a ducumented form. Such dormant hatred made the Serbs do what they did with pride, simply because of Serb's defeat in a battle against the Ottomans that took place few hundred yrs ago. Such inherited hatred is often not documented because it is a shameful act.

I wish all Americans are like you guys so open minded, caring and thoughtful you have given us hope to see all people of all races live together in peace and harmony.

[RepublicConstitution]

Islamophobia is ridiculous and unjustifiable.

[italyanoQ8]

-

black women ? crazy men hating every body ? man fuck that

[pcjenkin]

On Hulu they have the "Jack Hunter" movies that shows Arabs in a better light. They are like Indiana Jones set in modern times. They are good movies, with positive Arab archetypes, exotic locations, and intelligent Muslims. It's a beginning, but at least some Arab and Muslim filmakers are fighting back against the Zionists.

[plokkr123]

It's jewllywood, What can you do.

[BoriChumba]

This is an excellent video and talk. Dr Shaheen is a very intelligent and eloquent man, I respect & admire him greatly. It shoudl be remembered that Zionists Khazars (fake Jews) own the main stream media, including Hollywood & Disney!!

Nobody asks it to Rwandan "witnesses" that miraculously remained unscathed either.

There is this silent general concensus - particularely in the Anglo-Saxon world - that "Arabs", hutus, Somalis, Chinese and North-Koreans are amoral, single-minded subhumans and that their nature is root of the problems that surround them.

[mozark606]

Arabs hosted all Jews in the past when others through them out.

Jews and Arabs have lived together side by side for years and it was great untill the zionists appeared. If ur a jew that hates arabs ur a zionist its simple.

[besmb2105]

Nationalism can always have dangerous tendencies, u dont have to look for nazi - germany to find scary examples(as to

the extreme nationalism in nazism)

The serbs(if Im not mistaken) had a form of ethnic nationalism, I think it was racist.

Same u can find with the tutsies in Rwanda, arab nationalism, etc. Zionism is a form of nationalism, therefore one shouldnt link this to all jews. Extremists exists in all genres.

[NeverAloneForever]

This lecture even goes beyond the film. I didn't think he would mention "Birth of A Nation".

[tokyomikerichards]

This man is a wonderful scholar and a tremendous humanist. Thank you for posting this lecture, which is something that deserves to be seen much more broadly.

[PalestinianGalactico]

Jews and Arabs have lived together side by side for years and it was great untill the zionists appeared. If ur a jew that hates arabs ur a zionist its simple

[besmb2105]

Dont put words in mouth, and to me a favor to read my comments, again.

What I am saying that its wrong to smear all jews as zionists.

Its just as wrong to hold prejudice against jews, as arabs.

Its wrong. Period.

[massimo38]

You're right besmb2105 .

Not every Jew is a Zionist & Not every Zionist is a Jew .

[besmb2105]

Than trust me, u dont even know what a zionist is.

And I am not a jew.

[besmb2105]

Not all jews are anti - arab.

Many jews seems to be against

what is going on in Gaza.

And for four hundred years jews and arabs lived in co - existance in the middle east.

Its stupid that people throw out racist propaganda in any form, but its ridicilous to suggest that all jews hate arabs.

[riknam]

Well said!!

[thebeatsDOTno]

True brother.. I don`t hate jews but i hate zionists!!!!

[oHelmslyo]

Jack Shaheen is a fascinating speaker, I just recently saw the documentary "Reel Bad Arabs" and it was great. Yet I never see him making rounds among the mainstream...what does that say?

[toddgreer]

after the Munich massacre I can see why they would be shown this way, through out the 70's and 80's they did slaughter innocent unarmed people through out the world and the people back home celebrated their terrorist acts. Does Hollywood leave out the other side of normal arab life - absolutely. But this stereotype of arabs comes from somewhere very true unfortuately.

[gcmcknight]

Unfortunately the vast majority is not willing to see that this negative sterotyping. I find that most Canadians and Americans take a stance and despite revealing the truth they refuse to be open to consider the merits of another opinion.

The battle for hearts and minds will require huge efforts to balance the injustice.

[koussabic]

Exellent

[sunisastar]

finally someone saying the truth .. although its bad on our part ... that we are helping the world potray this evil Image .. we cant sit and have them kill us.. but we can show the world what they really are

[AnahuacWomenFight]

beautiful and great articulation of much needed work!

i love the film!

Citlalmina

[Alfrunk]

Hollywood is run by jews, what the hell do you expect?? And you think the Arabs will be happy with Obama's bizarre choice to surround himself with the chosen "people"? Things are getting strange.

[iraqi4ever]

finally someone who is selling our side

[humbaalle]

Good job ur really very dedicated man stop this jewish propaganda

[CommentSense]

Excellent expose of the truth.
