The pro-Palestinian Arab movie "Miral" is being released after a gala premiere at the UN. The New York Times has run a couple of stories on it already. I not been following the controversy about the movie that closely, and I do not know if the movie is as anti-Israel as some claim it is. But I am offended by the movie's poster. The implication of the poster is that the nice young woman portraying the protagonist (who is actually an Indian actress, by the way) could not possibly be a terrorist because of her innocent looking face. To me, it also implies that Israel, or perhaps the West, unjustly considers all Palestinian Arabs to be terrorists. Unfortunately, a friendly face does not exclude the possibility of a young woman being a terrorist
