TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Guri Weinberg played his own father. He is the son of Moshe Weinberg, the Israeli wrestling referee and former champion, who died in the massacre when Guri was just one month old.

Avner is referred to as a "sabra" more than once. This is an Israeli term for a child born in Israel to immigrant parents. "Sabra" originally referred to a tough kind of cactus (Opuntia cactus) which grew out in the desert.

During the scene where Avner's (Eric Bana's) team joins up with the Israeli commandos in Beirut, one of the commandos introduces himself as Ehud Barak. Barak was a member of the most elite commando force of the Israeli army, Sayeret Matkal, before becoming a politician and eventually Israel's Prime Minister.

Actor and director Mathieu Kassovitz had left strict instructions to his agent that he would not take any acting assignments at all, as he wanted to fully concentrate on directing features. However, this film was an exception. According to him, he accepted the role of Robert because he jumped at the chance to work with Steven Spielberg.

Some details from the real mission were left out in this movie. One of them was when the group found one of the terrorists in Norway. The target was exiting a bus with a pregnant woman, and they killed him. The authorities tracked down the Agents' license plate number and arrested them, but it was later revealed that they had shot the wrong man. He wasn't even Palestinian, but a Moroccan waiter, and the pregnant woman was his wife. One detail that was included was another hit executed with two of the Agents dressed in drag, one of whom was Ehud Barak, who went on to become Prime Minister of Israel in 1999.

Popular Dialogues

"Robert: We are supposed to be righteous. That's a beautiful thing. And we're losing it. If I lose that, that's everything. That's my soul."

"Ali: Eventually the Arab states will rise against Israel. They don't like Palestinians, but they hate the Jews more. It won't be like 1967. The rest of the world will see by then what the Israelis do to us. They won't help when Egypt and Syria attack. Even Jordan. Israel will cease to exist. What? Avner: This is a dream. You can't take back a country you never had. Ali: You sound like a Jew. Avner: Fuck you. I'm the voice inside your head telling you what you already know. You people have nothing to bargain with. You'll never get the land back. You'll die old men in refugee camps waiting for Palestine. Ali: We have a lot of children. They'll have children. So we can wait forever. And if we need to, we can make the whole planet unsafe for Jews. Avner: You kill Jews and the world feels bad for them... and thinks you animals. Ali: Yes. But then the world will see how they've made us into animals. They'll start to ask questions about the conditions in our cages. Avner: You are Arabs. There are lots of places for Arabs. Ali: You're a Jew sympathizer. All you Germans, you're too soft on Israel. Well, you give us money, but you feel guilty about Hitler. And the Jews exploit that guilt. My father didn't gas any Jews. Avner: Tell me something, Ali. Ali: What? Avner: Do you really miss your father's olive trees? Do you honestly think you have to get back all that... that nothing? that chalky soil and stone huts? Is that what you really want for your children? Ali: It absolutely is. It will take a hundred years, but we'll win. How long did it take the Jews to get their own country? How long did it take the Germans to make Germany? Avner: And look how well that worked out. Ali: You don't know what it is not to have a home. That's why you European Reds don't get it. you say, "It's nothing," but you have a home to come back to. ETA, ANC, IRA... we all pretend we care about your international revolution... but we don't care. We want to be nations. Home is everything."
