You Don't Mess With (the facts of) The Zohan


I've never read anything quite so hysterical as this Jordanian review of the new Adam Sandler film, "You Don't mess With the Zohan". The reviewer's main gripe is a supposed pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian bias. See how many blatant falsehoods he states about Israel. Apparently it's OK to be virulently anti-Israel, but it's not at all OK when it's the other way round - or when you imagine it's the other way round.

And speaking of antisemitism, here's some more Islamic craziness, this time from Iran, where a deranged film critic claims that Saving Private Ryan is actually subliminally Saving Private Zion, all part of a Jewish conspiracy by Spielberg. I kid you not. Muslims love their Jewish-Zionist conspiracies.

Adam Sandler is classic in his own way, though he tends to do his best work when he stays casual, not trying too hard to be funny or deep, etc.
