Movie Reviews of Farewell Israel: Bush, Iran, and The Revolt of IslamMovie Review: An eye-opener and a wake-up call Summary: 5 Stars
The Western world is currently under assault by a new wave of Islamic aggression. Joel Gilbert's DVD puts this political happening into a well documented historical perspective. Ignoring these facts might lead to the demise of our civilization. This documentary is an eye opener and a wakeup call.
Islamic aggression is manifested militarily, economically, demographically and politically. Each of these aspects are presented and analyzed in this documentary and put in historical and religious context.
I agree with a previous reviewer that Gilbert does not tell us explicitly what to do so as to mitigate this impending calamity, especially when he predicts the demise of the State of Israel. He leaves the conclusions to the viewers.
There is no doubt that in confronting a danger we must first identify it and assess its potential in realistic terms. This has been brilliantly achieved in this documentary, which, unlike some other documentaries, does not propagandize against Islam. Gilbert intends to wake up his viewers not with an alarming nightmare but with a realistic report and analysis. This is the strength of this documentary, which forces its viewers to think.
I wish that our political leadership was aware of the facts presented by Gilbert before making costly mistakes. Even at this late moment this documentary should be an eye-opener to American and Israeli political leaders.
As I stated in my comment to a previous reviewer, this documentary was produced by a qualified scholar - Joel Gilbert is a graduate of the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies and London School of Economics and Political Science (BA 1986, Economics and Politics). He was a Middle Eastern studies scholar under world renowned Islamic history experts Professors Eli Keddouri, P.J. Vatikiotis, Michael Cooke, and Abbas Kelidar. Gilbert has lived, studied, and traveled in the Middle East, including Egypt, Israel, Morocco, and Pakistan.
Gilbert is also a cinematographic artist and his documentary can serve as a model for historical and political documentaries.
