Gabriel Schoenfeld launches a powerful attack on “Munich” in Commentary. A small taste: “Spielberg has said that he made Munich out of a simple desire to commemorate the slaughtered Jews of Munich…. Shortly before Munich was released, Steven Spielberg told an interviewer: ‘I worked very hard so this film was not in any way, shape, or form going to be an attack on Israel.’ This is a truly curious formulation. Why should he have had to work ‘very hard’ to avoid turning a film intended to commemorate the murder of Israeli civilians into a film attacking Israel?”
