Hero of Anti-Israel Propaganda Film Says He Doesn't Hate IDF Soldiers - Israel Today

Hero of Anti-Israel Propaganda Film Says He Doesn't Hate IDF Soldiers

Wednesday, February 22, 2017 |  Israel Today Staff

The above video is an excerpt from the leftist propaganda film “The Boy From H2” that seeks to portray Israeli soldiers as heartless and abusive toward the Palestinian Arabs.

The film was such a hit among liberals in Israel that the left-wing NGO B’Tselem entered it in the International Film Festival that concluded yesterday in Berlin.

But “The Boy From H2” was a flop on the international stage, and suffered even more disappointment when the “hero” of the documentary, Mohammed Burkan, who was 12 when it was filmed in 2011, came out and said he isn’t angry at the Israeli soldiers.

As can be seen in the clip above, the soldiers actually behaved in a very humane manner after young Mohammed threw stones at them. One soldier said the frightened boy had been punished enough, while another took him home to his parents with no further punitive action.

Burkan was actually at the film festival, and was asked on stage to answer questions following its screening.

To the astonishment of the audience and festival organizers, when Burkan was asked, “Do you have anger toward the Israeli soldiers and the occupation?” he simply replied, “No.”

Voters Strike Houston LGBT Ordinance by Wide Margin - CBN News 11.04.15

Voters Strike Houston LGBT Ordinance by Wide Margin

Ad Feedback

Houston media are reporting the city's LGBT Ordinance failed by a large margin. Television station KHOU reports early voting results and returns predict it won't pass. KHOU says those number were approximately two-thirds of the voters against the ordinance with a third for it.

The Houston Equal Rights Ordinance was nicknamed HERO. It would have, among other things, allowed people with various sexual identities to use whatever bathroom of the sex they identified themselves as - regardless of their biological sex.

Opponents worried it could put women and children at risk. Pastors and their churches across the city fought the measure out of that concern and because of other language in the measure.

They say the way the law was written the city could fine and even imprison violators who did not make certain public accomodations.

Watch Wednesday's "The 700 Club" for a full report and reaction to the vote.

Dave Welch with the Houston Area Pastors Council said it did not include strong protections for people of faith to protect them if those public accomodations conflicted with their biblical values. He said that was one reason Christians rallied against it. He also told CBN News that it really came down to standing for God's truth about sexuality.

Those supporting it and voting for it, included Houston's lesbian mayor Annise Parker.

She and others argued it was a necessary nondiscrimination ordinance to protect the LGBT community.
