The Israeli regime uses the media and film industry to justify its inhumane policies.
Darnell Stephen Summers, a US army veteran and American filmmaker made the remark in an interview with IQNA, adding that the policy of the Israeli regime is portraying a positive image of itself despite having occupied Palestinian lands.
They want to justify this flagrant crime by any means such as employing the film industry, he said.
He said it is a problem of today’s world that most of the youths are not much experienced and aware and the film industry exploits this to produce attractive movies with unreal themes to shape the mind of the youth.
It is necessary that the younger generation and people in general refuse to believe everything they see and hear. They should be keen on research about issues and try to get to the bottom of the things, Summers said.
According to the American filmmaker, Hollywood movies seek to portray a positive image of Israel.
“The movie ‘The Exodus’, for instance, is about the migration of the Jews after World War II. This movie presents a very negative image of the Palestinians and a very positive one of the Israelis. Unfortunately, many people take what they see in movies as reality.”
He said there are a few movies that question Israel’s credibility but they are not given much attention and gain little publicity.
The US army veteran underlined that the United States’ Defense Department (the Pentagon) spends a lot of money to finance Hollywood movies.
“If you look at movies such as ‘Platoon’ and many others, you can see that the Pentagon and US government agencies have been involved in producing them.”
Pentagon directly invests in Hollywood, based on a policy that began perhaps before the Second World War, he stressed.
“I believe that Hollywood is a corporation controlled by Zionism and many of those working in Hollywood are Zionists… Zionists are active in Hollywood and seek to implement their agenda to shape the mindset of the world people as they want.”
Darnell Stephen Summers, who attended an international conference on Hollywoodism in Tehran last week, is a activist who opposes the US warmongering policies and has made several documentaries to awaken the American people.
