To Mr. Spielberg and Dreamworks:

I have admired your work as a director until now. However, what I have read about "Munich" has disappointed me.

It is my understanding that instead of focusing on the brutality, evil, and criminality of the Palestinian massacre of Israeli athletes, "Munich" instead focuses on Israeli retaliation and equates it morally with the violence it punished.

Terrorism is a crime against humanity. The retaliation was justified self-defense. As one who has spent a good deal of the last ten years chronicling the evil perpetrated against the Jewish people by the Nazis, I would have thought that you would have the moral clarity to make the distinction between crime and punishment.

By parallel, are we to understand that you consider the fight against Nazi Germany to be the moral equivalent of what the Nazis did to the Jewish people?

I am open to watching your "Munich" Mr. Spielberg. But I will not reward you by buying a ticket.

Sincerely,

David
Los Angeles, CA
