Movie Review: Wish Ezekiel Could Have Seen This!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a Classy essential documentary. Not a question of if you should buy it; but rather it is a question of why you have not already! It is worth every penny!!! It explains and puts into context the Struggle of the Jewish people against German attempts to annihilate them, their stunning post-war ascension into Statehood in spite of the British (!!!) and the resulting International Geopolitical ramifications of this.
All of this amazing history is made clear and comprehensible in a DVD that includes rarely seen, priceless interviews with Zionist supporters such as President Truman, Clark Clifford and other clips such as that of Warren Austin and to many others to list that your children will not see in our ever increasingly anti-Semitic colleges and universities.
The segment which shows the crucial reading in the UN of the United States' recognition of the Jewish Provisional Government will bring tears and chills to anyone who has even the vaguest understanding of the Ezekiel Chapter 37 Dry Bones prophecy!
It is a mesmerizing story that every Jew and Christian in America should see. A story that spans the ages...of the struggles of a people to survive against supernatural odds and rise again to power and prominence in one of the few stories on earth that can literally claim to be a struggle of Biblical proportions.
Movie Review: Wonderful story about the modern state of Israel
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an exceptional video that explains the formation of the modern state of Israel. It is a story that all should know because of the nature of the Israeli-Arab struggles.The 6 hours of video are edited by a legenday Israeli figure, Abba Eban, who was the first Israeli abmassador to the UN and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Thus Mr. Eban was a personal witness to most of the events described in the documentary. It begins with the rise of anti-semitism and Hitler and never looks back. The video also does a good job of building tension, and the writers have made hsitory very exciting. There is live footage, for example, of the declaration if Israel as a nation, the UN vote, and the retaking of Jerusalem in 1967. Truly inspiring to see.
The video series is very inormative and is historically accurate. Many atrocities against Israel are documented, but the writers were fair in that the mention the mistakes of Israel too.
This documentary ranks right up there with Ken Burns "Civil War Series" as one of the best of all time. Relive the miracle from a firsthand witness!
Movie Review: Very informational
Summary: 5 Stars
The information contained in this was awesome. I have read other articles but not with the testimonials that this included. We are using this as additional information in our home schooling curriculum.Movie Review: Very engrossing story of the birth of Israel and subsequent
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very engrossing story of the birth of Israel, the subsequent ingathering of the exiles, and the development of the young country.Movie Review: Lightweight, and biased
Summary: 3 Stars
Abba Eban clearly loves his own role in history, and focuses heavily on events that he was a part of -- there's more about Israel's struggles at the U.N. in the late 1940's than, say, the '48 war. But Eban glosses over events in a rather underhanded way. For example, in describing the "Altalena" boat affair, he simply states that the specific events were deeply traumatic for Israeli society in the years to come... but I think we could stand to hear that the Haganah/Palmach actually shot at and killed Jewish Irgun fighters who were bobbing helplessly in the water, and this happened long after the Altalena had waved the white flag of surrender. In this and other ways, Eban displays a shocking bias toward the left. It simply is not honest about the events that modern-day Jews ought to know about. Because of his tendency to overload the brief chapters with diplomatic initiatives, rather than focus on other aspects of Israeli history or the conflicts as they occured on the ground, this series ends up being rather lightweight. And it lacks the emotional 'umph' that it ought to have. Cold, dry, not-so-factual.
