WTF? Anyone read/speak Hebrew and can translate this movie for us?  Can't believe they gave it the top award in Italy.

QuoteVENICE (AFP) – "Lebanon" by Israeli Samuel Maoz, the story of the first Lebanon war told from inside an Israeli tank, won the Golden Lion at the Venice film festival Saturday.
Colin Firth, star of Tom Ford's "A Single Man," picked up the Volpi Cup for best actor, while Russian actress Ksenia Rappoport won best actress for her role in "La Doppia Ora."
"I'm here for the gift that Tom Ford gave me," Firth said as he accepted the award. "Tom Ford had a cause that he put in my hands, so it became a very important thing for me as well."
Ford's film about a gay professor mourning the death of his partner is an adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's landmark 1964 novel.
"A Single Man," a first film for former Gucci designer Ford, 48, offers a moving snapshot of life as a homosexual more than four decades ago.
Iranian photographer and visual artist Shirin Neshat won the Silver Lion for best director for "Women Without Men."
Her directorial debut dissects Iranian society at the time of the 1953 CIA-backed coup that overturned the nationalist government of Mohammed Mossadegh and installed the shah in power.
Against that backdrop, four women -- a prostitute, an activist, a cosmopolitan woman and a traditional young girl -- fight for individual freedom and independence, winding up together at an idyllic orchard in the countryside.
"This has been a labour of love for six years," Neshat said. "This film speaks to the world and to my country," she said, ending her remarks by making a "V for victory" sign.

MikeWB: you can't believe the criminal satan-worshipping shits would give an award to this 'tank movie' mentioned above, considering the other movies they gave awards to?

This is like you being offended an award was given to 'Best Queer Community Activist' at a convention of queers where 'Best (or worst) Dressed Queer' and 'Best Queer (insert surface attribute here)' were given out. The results are then published by the satanic-owned press, and you are surprised?  :roll:

I don't know why I'm on the whole 'queer trip' lately; it has nothing to do with my own sexuality. I think I am noticing several vocal people who assign themselves a queer (i.e. non-normal, non-'straight') value and so being, are deluded in their mind, but otherwise have a good heart. Of course, as soon as they used their platforms to bring up items of interest to us, they will not get any coverage in the satan-owned press...
moved on.
the author does not adopt jewish \'race theory\' or \'darwinism\'.
and believes \'jewish culture\' is mostly one of supporting their organized crime syndicates, with a enough veneer and an organized system of destroying and reshaping other cultures, to obfuscate the truth to most people.
