 | Boycott "Munich" |
Boycott "Munich" posted to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OhaveiEretzYisrael/by "Sasha F." Friends I am bothered by what I have read about Spielberg's take on "Munich" which, by all accounts, morally equates Israeli self-defense with the criminal terrorism of the PLO. That is inexcusable. I have read enough to make the decision not to pay to see the movie. I hope you have come to the same decision. If you would also be willing to write to Spielberg's Dreamworks to protest, please address letters to Dreamworks CEO Roger Enrico renrico@dreamworks.com, director David Geffen dgeffen@dreamworks.com, and Field Marketing Director Mike Vollman mvollman@dreamworks.com, the official Dreamworks contact person. I believe letters to them will be made known to Spielberg. Or you can use the following contact info: DreamWorks Studio 100 Universal City Plaza Bldg. 477 Universal City, CA 91608 Phone: (818) 733-7000 C/O Mr. Mike Vollman (Field Marketing Director) Phone: (818) 733-6892 Fax #: (818) 733-6995 Note that the address sspielberg@dreamworks.com will not work but you may want to include it anyway to show the others your intent is to contact Spielberg. Below is the letter I sent to Mr. Spielberg. Please feel free to copy it and append your own name, or better still, write your own. Thank you and best wishes. David.

However, what I have read about "Munich" has disappointed me. It is my understanding that instead of focusing on the brutality, evil, and criminality of the Palestinian massacre of Israeli athletes, "Munich" instead focuses on Israeli retaliation and equates it morally with the violence it punished. Terrorism is a crime against humanity. The retaliation was justified self-defense. As one who has spent a good deal of the last ten years chronicling the evil perpetrated against the Jewish people by the Nazis, I would have thought that you would have the moral clarity to make the distinction between crime and punishment. By parallel, are we to understand that you consider the fight against Nazi Germany to be the moral equivalent of what the Nazis did to the Jewish people? I am open to watching your "Munich" Mr. Spielberg. But I will not reward you by buying a ticket. Sincerely, |
