Hamas Goes to the Movies: "To Kill Israeli Soldiers Is to Worship God"
[Independent-UK] Nidal al-Mughrabi - "Imad Aqel," which premiered at the weekend, is the first feature film produced by the Islamist Hamas movement and the title is the name of a Palestinian militant whom Israel held accountable for the deaths of 13 soldiers and civilians. The audience in Gaza clapped and cheered as the actor delivered the movie's most memorable line - "To kill Israeli soldiers is to worship God." The movie was written by Mahmoud al-Zahar, a senior leader of Hamas, and was filmed on a set built inside the former Jewish settlement of Ganei Tal in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
