Abe Foxman of the ADL did not see anything wrong in the Munich movie.
It was written by Tony Kushner and Eric Roth.
The following is a selected list of Tony Kushner quotes:
"[Israel was] founded in a program that, if you really want to be blunt about it, was ethnic cleansing, and that today is behaving abominably towards the Palestinian people."
Yale Israel Review (winter 2005)
"I've never been a Zionist. I have a problem with the idea of a Jewish state. It would have been better if it never happened."
The New York Sun reporting Kushner comments made at a conference in NY (10/14/02)
Kushner: Establishing a state means F****** people over. However, I think that people in the late 20th century or early 21st century -- having seen the Holocaust, having seen the 20th century and all of its horrors -- cannot be complacent in the face of that. Ha'aretz reporter: But you are saying that the very creation of Israel as a Jewish state was not a good idea.
Kushner: I think it was a mistake. Ha'aretz (4/7/04)
"Zionism aimed as the establishment of a national identity is predicated on a reading of Jewish history and an interpretation of the meaning of Jewish history I don't share. Insofar as Zionism is an idea that the solution to the suffering of the Jewish people was the establishment of a Jewish nation, I think it is not the right answer.
Ha'aretz (4/7/04)
"I am not a Zionist in case you haven't noticed." Kushner cited "the shame of American Jews" for failing to denounce Israel."
Chicago Tribune (4/10/02)
"The existence of the state of Israel, because of the terrible way that the Palestinian people have been treated, is now in great peril and the world is in peril as a consequence of it."
In These Times interview (3/4/02)
"Israel is a foreign country. I am no more represented by Israel than I am by Italy."
Ha'aretz (4/7/04)
"The Israeli-built security wall should come down, the homeland for the Palestinians should be built up, with a strictly enforced peace, not enforced by the Israel Defense Forces, but by the United Nations."
Baltimore Jewish Times (6/4/04)
"I deplore the brutal and illegal tactics of the Israeli Defence Forces in the occupied territories. I deplore the occupation, the forced evacuations, the settlements, the refugee camps, the whole shameful history of the dreadful suffering of the Palestinian people; Jews, of all people, with our history of suffering, should refuse to treat our fellow human beings like that."
London Times (5/7/02)
"[Israel is involved in] a deliberate destruction of Palestinian culture and a systematic attempt to destroy the identity of the Palestinian people."
New York Sun (10/4/02)
"To avoid facing up to such atrocity, to sustain the refusal of any Israeli share in culpability, Zionism has produced a long, shameful, and debilitating history of denial…"
