Assignment:

Watch the documentary Avenge but One of My Two Eyes (Director: Avi Mograbi, 2005) - for this assignment, watch the section from minute 08:00 to minute 22:30, but you are welcome to watch the entire film if interested.

This section intersects and juxtaposes two episodes: one shows a tour guide explaining the Jewish historical myth of Massada to young Jewish tourists in Israel, the other shows the more recent reality of Palestinian life under Israeli occupation.

What may be the connection between these episodes? How can the historical myth serve as a justification for contemporary politics? Why did the film director choose to show these episodes side by side? What is the message implied by it?
