Featured reviews
It's very tongue-in-cheek about Israel's globally-condemned colonization of Palestine. A J*wish man "moves" into the building next door and claims that his property goes into the gang's bar, telling them to leave. He then puts up a wall to signify what he owns - which is exactly what is happening in Palestine, with Israel continuously invading settlements and putting up walls to keep Palestinians off of their own land.
It also segues into Frank's confirmation as a permanent character in the show! 5/5.
I think this is the episode where they decide Danny DeVito will be a permanent character of the show and he very quickly started to fit in.
The beginning of many iconic episodes to come in the future.
One of my favorite quotes of all time is when Dennis yells "Everybody gets a weapon!" His gestures and everything are perfect and make me laugh everytime.
The video they did was also really funny, what a great episode for all of the characters.
Overall - 8.4/10.

[We see Dennis and Mac dressed in camouflage shirts and using towels as head wraps, pretending to be Islamic terrorists. Dennis speaks in mock Arabic that would be heard in a jihad video. Charlie lowers his camera to stop filming.]
Charlie Kelly: Cut, cut, cut, cut. What the hell are you doing, dude?
Dennis Reynolds: [uncovers his face] That's what those tapes sound like.
Charlie Kelly: Why don't you read the script that I wrote?
Dennis Reynolds: I'm not reading the script you wrote. It's in English, and it's riddled with spelling errors.
Charlie Kelly: Well, you know what I'm trying to write, just say it.
Dennis Reynolds: No, I'm just gonna mumble some guttural sounds. Let's do another one.
[prepares to put the towel back over his face]
Charlie Kelly: [protesting] He's not gonna know what you're saying!
Dennis Reynolds: Well, then we'll do subtitles or something.
Charlie Kelly: How am I gonna do subtitles?
Mac: [pulls his towel down] I feel like I should have something in my hands.
Dennis Reynolds: You don't need anything in your hands.
Mac: Like a weapon. A machete or a machine gun or something.
Dennis Reynolds: He doesn't need a...
[annoyed]
Dennis Reynolds: Okay, why don't you head down to the Wawa and pick up a machine gun!

Dennis Reynolds: I'm not gonna read the script.
Charlie Kelly: [completely pissed at this point] Read the- who's the director here?
Dennis Reynolds: I don't care, I'm not reading the script!
Charlie Kelly: [peeved] Alright, fine.
[opens the recorder again]
Charlie Kelly: Action!
Dennis Reynolds: Bro, can I get my towel over my face again?
Charlie Kelly: [realizing] Oh, yeah, put your towel on your face.
Dennis Reynolds: [puts the towel over his face] Alright, here we go.
Charlie Kelly: Action.
[Dennis proceeds to speak in mock Arabic again]
Mac: [pulls down his towel again and interrupts, ruining the take] I'm gonna get a weapon. I'm gonna get a weapon! I'll be right back!
Charlie Kelly: [annoyed] You don't need a...!
