Yeah, I heard a fair share of things that I didn't see at all durring the course of the movie. Some said it equates the Israeli retaliation to the masacre at Munich. Didn't see how that connection was made. Every line questioning or damaging to Israel had the Israeli counter-point thrown right back at it in dialogue (Israelis always had the last word). The only thing that I even thought even came close to bashing Israel was when the main character was questioning whether or not the men he had killed really had a part in planning Munich towards the end when he moved to America to be with his wife.

Most of the movie though was these Israelis laying the smack down in Europe. The more I look into these "damaging to Israel" claims, it seems more and more like they're just nitpicking over small details that didn't portray Israelis in the most divine light possible. If anything, the movie actually made me more Pro-Israel after seeing it.

Rest of the audience felt the same way, seemingly, as there was alot of clapping going on when one of the main characters made the quotable statement, "Don't fuck with the Jews."
