Title:"A Jewish settlement in Sitka, Alaska"? I like it already...

City: State: Free Tejas/Occupied Palestine
"The story is set in a fictional Jewish settlement in Sitka, Alaska, that is about to be turned over to Alaskan natives."

First of all, congrats for all the wonderful work these two American(since we are on Haaretz & it`s so ethno-centric)-Jewish filmmakers have done over the years. I`m a big fan. Now this next project sounds interesting; a fictional Jewish settlement(ISRAEL) in (PALESTINE) that is about to be turned over to the natives (PALESTINIANS)?

Wow. I see box office hit all the way with this plot!

Art imitating real life? I love it. Now watch the folks in Zion protest this movie - the whole idea of Jews returning land to the natives is an anathema.

On a serious note, why didn`t the Rothschild`s pay 7.2 million for Alaska? They dumped millions into Zion - not to mention the billions that followed from diaspora and Uncle Sam. It`s no bigger than a few American malls surrounded by hostile neighbors - and mostly desert. Israel is not exactly the best 500 billion $ investment.
