It’s been a year since the release of Lebanese-American
director Ziad Doueiri’s film “The Attack,” which was filmed in occupied
Palestine using Israeli actors. The controversy around the film
continues to this day.
Doueiri’s choice to film his 2012 feature on occupied Palestinian soil, prompted a number of Arab countries, including Lebanon, to ban the film. Although the director may be liable under Lebanese law, the film should be seen by local audiences in order to expose the extent to which the film attempts to whitewash the image of Israel, as a criminal and racist state.
