Bruno's 'Terrorist' Fires Back

Besides being blatantly gay, the mock film “Bruno” is nothing by anti-Palestinian trash.

Sacha Baron Cohen sought to pretend that he was interviewing an actual terrorist in the film. The man is identified as Ayman Abu Aita and as a “terrorist.” He is anything but. Cohen is an unabashed liar. Not only did Cohen lie about the innocent man, but he even lied about how he got the interview.

Ayman Aby Aita was a former member of the Fatah Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. There is no record of Ayman ever engaging in acts of terrorism, and even left the organization years ago. But for Zionists like Cohen any Palestinian who has any connection with any resistance group is a terrorist. That is how you de-legitimize the Palestinian cause.

In an interview with late-night show host David Letterman, Cohen even tired to make Ayman look more militant by suggesting that Ayman carries around a weapon, and poor Cohen was so fearful that he hired a bodyguard. In reality, Ayman had neither a weapon nor any intention to just randomly harm people. But Zionists like Cohen only see Palestinians as monsters.

Baron Cohen met Abu Aita last year when the comedian came to the Middle East to film part of “Bruno” in which the character seeks fame by trying, unsuccessfully, to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

In promoting “Bruno,” Baron Cohen has depicted his interview with Abu Aita as a dangerous mission that required special security to take him into the West Bank for a clandestine meeting at a secret location.

“It’s not that easy to find an actual terrorist,” Baron Cohen said last week while promoting the movie on the “Late Show with David Letterman.” “In fact, your government has been looking for one for about nine years.”

To find his “terrorist” foil, Baron Cohen said, he had to seek out a CIA contact and spend months searching for someone who finally put him in touch with Abu Aita. Then, Baron Cohen said, he had trouble finding security wiling to take him to meet Abu Aita.

That never happened. Meeting Abu Aita was never a risky mission that Cohen pretends was:

Abu Aita is no terrorist on the run. He’s a 39-year-old father of four and a local political leader with the pro-Western Fatah Party. His Christian family owns two markets that sell groceries and alcohol in Beit Sahour, a small West Bank town next to Bethlehem.

Tracking him down and setting up an interview required a few phone calls.

While Abu Aita did serve two years in prison in Israel for his role at a Fatah leader during the second Palestinian uprising, he dismissed Baron Cohen’s depiction of him as a nefarious terrorist mastermind.

So why would douchbag Cohen make us such a story. For starers, directors, actions and producers always lie about their film experiences in order to “sex it up” to make it more interesting so more people will see it. Here Cohen is engaging in typical Hollywood promotional lying. But this douch has another motive.

Cohen is a known Zionist who once spent time working in Israel as a young man and is known for his Zionist support. In fact, in “Borat” the character is speaking Hebrew which he learned while in Israel. As a youth, he was involved his a Zionist youth movement. Thus he wanted the chance to demonize the Palestinians as a bunch of terrorist monsters for whom even security teams are afraid to meet with, making Cohen look like the Zionist hero standing up against Palestinian terrorists.

Ayman is taking legal action against Cohen, and good for him! He has called Cohen a “big liar” and that the film has been damaging for Ayman.

It is about time Palestinians stop Hollywood from labeling them terrorists:
