Rent Palestine 36 (2025)

Britbashing, Jew-blaming, Israel-hating Pro-Pal Propaganda Film Masquerading as Drama - Palestine 36 review by PV

This film was appalling. ProPal propaganda, fake history, I think antisemitic actually but certainly anti Israel. The layers and layers of lies here are symbolised by a clip of a supposed 1937 street protest with someone waving a huge Palestine flag - that flag was not invented until 1964!

Please watch EXODUS the great epic Paul Newman film from 1960. Or even LAWRENCE A DANGEROUS MAN - TV movie sequel to Lawrence of Arabia.

British Mandate Palestine (1918-1945) was the Brits trying to manage the mess left behind by the (Muslim) Ottoman empire which collapsed after WWI s0 if you're gonna blame anyway, blame the Turks! Britain and France struggled to keep control of the region, with Jewhating Arabs attacking Jews whose homeland this was for 5000 years,. In 1948 over 800,000 Jews fled pogroms by Arabs in Muslim-dominated middle eastern countries to the haven that is Israel. No mention of that here.

The claim the Christians sides with the Muslim Palestinian terrorists is nonsense too - plenty of Christians slaughtered by Muslims there, in Lebanon and around the Muslim world. Itis disgusting that this film will be believed as fact by many. The most Jewhating film I've seen for a while. NEVER forget how many Muslims backed the NAzis - the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was a bestie of Hitler and spent WWII in Berlin. The modern Hamas and Hizbollah and PLO come from him via Yasser Arawat an Egyptian, like the rest in Gaza.

No mention that British Mandate Palestine included modern-day Israel AND Jordan. When Brits left that created Jordan from 77% of the land (that is THE socalled Palestinian state) and 23% became Israel and still the usual suspects want to destroy it. Never forget ALL land in Asia/Africa that is Muslim was STOLEN by Arab invaders in the past too.

The British soldiers here are panto villains who should be twirling their moustaches and laughing HA HA HA! The first scene has a British soldier saying "OI YOU! and chewing gum - the British army was an is strict about such things, and orderly too, with control, not thugs like this. NO WAY would a soldier be allowed to have long hair - he is the arch baddie panto bully in this whiteblaming Britbashing propaganda piece. We know this because at one point he says he understands the Jews and Zionists' need for a homeland WHERE by the way Jews have lived 5000 years - Islam was only invented in 7th C AD, and those in Gaza are Egyptian anyway. Muslim invaders is why it's all Muslim. Maybe they should leave and leave it all to the Jews who've lived throughout the Levant for 5000 years?

Appalling this got a release and distribution. The most Britbashing thing I've seen since the awful Channel 4 Brithate fest VICEROY'S HOUSE 2017 or that awful Dr Who Indian episode. Really, this is racism, fabricated history, masked as accurate historical drama.

Not engaged by this film - Palestine 36 review by SB

I felt that this was an important, and hopefully good film to watch. Regrettably it failed to hold my attention and I fell asleep. I tried watching it two further times, and there must be something particularly soporithic about this film, as it had the same effect on each of these attempts to rewatch it. However, I also watched the extra material on the disc, which was a conversation with the director and also with one of the male actors. I found these conversations far more engaging than the film itself, and they gave me a valuable insight into the background to the film, and what the film was trying to achieve and communicate to its audience.

I would give the film itself no more than two stars, but I would award 4 stars to the extra material which made sense of the whole thing. Hence, the overall average rating of 3 stars.
