In Jordan, a movie called “The Old Story” is being shot, with Amman standing in for Jerusalem and Tel Aviv where the film is set.
There has already been controversy in Jordan over this film, as cars and streets were changed to look Israeli for the filming, and seeing Israeli license plates is apparently a trigger for all sorts of terrible psychological issues for many Jordanians.
The film, produced by Netflix, is supposedly pro-Palestinian. Nearly all the people involved in production are Jordanian with a smattering of Americans.
The newest problem just came up as there was to be a scene where a Palestinian terrorist flees to a mosque after his attack. It was to be filmed at a mosque in Amman, and the Waqf approved the filming, but residents objected – because, they claimed, some Jews were part of the production (possibly actors) and would pollute the holy site with their presence.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
