The man is steel, the tank, only metal.

"Lebanon", an Israeli antiwar film, wont the first prize in Venezia Film Festival. It is about an Israeli soldier who finds himself with four other strangers in a tank during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1980. Of course, the soldier is an antihero, he is a pacifist, he does not want to be there, he is crying all the time and so on. The world loves it.

I hate to nitpick, but:

Venice Film Festival

I see your point about the biggest enemy of Israel being your fellow Hebrews.

Thanks for the correction.

שינת חינם

= brotherly hate

is our worst enemy. When the Romans were storming Jerusalem, three factions inside were fighting each other, burning each other weapons and food reserves. Terrible.

The world, at least many in the world, want to see your people humiliated. They are not yet satisfied with the destruction of Western Civilization in Africa, they will only be happy when we (and you) are all enslaved. And there are many subtle techniques to achieve this.
