Hamas makes feature film about slain militant

The Islamic militants’ first feature film — an action-packed homage to a top Hamas militant — cost only $200,000 to make and is being shown to segregated audiences of bearded men and veiled women.

“It’s Hamaswood instead of Hollywood,” Fathi Hamad, Gaza’s Hamas interior minister, said after the film’s first showing Friday evening at Gaza City’s Islamic University. “We are trying to make quality art that is Islamic and about the resistance, without provocative (sexual) scenes.”

Hamad doubled as producer, and the screenplay was penned by Mahmoud Zahar, the Gaza strongman seen as one of the architects of the group’s violent takeover of Gaza two years ago.

Rabin frequently yells at an inept Barak — now Israel’s defense minister — who can’t stop Hamas fighters. Israeli soldiers always seem asleep. Sleazy Israeli handlers try to persuade Palestinians to collaborate by offering them women and alcohol.
