“Palestine 36” is an Oscar-shortlisted film about the 1936 Arab Revolt, but despite presenting itself as history, it is anything but.
The film erases the Jewish narrative, distorts land ownership, omits Arab violence, and invents British atrocities. Key figures like the Grand Mufti, who incited violence against Jews and later collaborated with the Nazis, are erased entirely.
This isn’t historical drama. It’s historical falsification and should not be taken seriously. Art can educate, but misrepresenting history to serve a one-sided political narrative is propaganda, not storytelling.
