7 Days in Entebbe (2018)

Review by skyking-14

7 Days in Entebbe

4/10

Begins with a false premise

Right off the bat it starts with a huge historical inaccuracy that has morphed into a lie. It described the recognition of Israel and then says that "immediately the Palestinians began fighting for the RETURN of their land". There was NEVER a sovereign nation called "Palestine". That land was named "Palestine" by the Roman Occupiers two thousand years ago and has been occupied by one foreign power or another until 1947. The last sovereign nation to occupy that land was the two Jewish kingdoms of Israel, and Judea. In 1947, there was an opportunity for their to be a free Palestinian state, alongside that of Israel, but the Arab nations of Egypt and Jordan ensured that never happened by invading the new state of Israel in an attempt to grab the land for themselves. Therein, began the problem that has plagued the Middle East and the world ever since!

The rest of the movie was decent, though none of the newer versions matched the intensity of the original with Bronson and Finch. The inclusion of the "chair dance" element is a major WTF? Moment for me as it's totally out of place and adds NOTHING to the story. This film is rather timely in light of October 7th and the recent pro-Palestinian protests, a reminder that this anti-Jewish hatred is a direct descendant of Nazi Germany, with which the Palestinians of the time aligned themselves with. A reminder that there is no moral high ground in the "Palestinian cause".
