@halimshebaya: "the “Good Arab” avoids the headache involved in criticising #Israel ... & does not highlight uncomfortable truths about the #occupation"

In an interview for the online publication Forward, Doueiri openly talked about his anti-BDS stance.

Referring to himself in the third person, he said that “Ziad is not gonna be the peacemaker, the peaceful nice guy.”

He also said he wants his next film to be about “the ultimate good and the ultimate bad” because he now thinks that “there is black and white after all”.

So what is the ultimate bad?

It is the BDS movement. Doueiri made it clear: “I want to portray people like the BDS in a very negative light ... That’s it. I think I have an agenda against them, and I’m gonna probably do it in my next film.”
