Unfortunately, there is in fact a lot of truth to the movie’s talk about dealing to both sides. Our own government gives aid to Israel while arming Fatah, a Palestinian faction that routinely carries out terrorist attacks against Israel. It armed the very Islamists in Afghanistan who later went on to become a thorn in our side. It supported Saddam Hussein against Iran, then turned on him.

Our defense industry may not be known for playing both sides, but our government sure as hell does.
