"Relentless" is probably the most powerful and yet empathetic film about the current Mideast situation and the breakdown of the peace process. It gets to the heart of the matter.

I strongly recommend the film "Relentless" to all those concerned with peace in the Middle East, as it provides a comprehensive understanding of the critical issues facing Israel and the Western World today. It is a must-see for anyone who cares about a better future for both the Palestinians and Israelis.

To understand why the Palestinians and Israelis seem to be interminably engaged in violence, watch "Relentless," a film with searing insights into the origins and ongoing nature of the problem. Expect to be unsettled - and to come away an hour later knowing how to apportion blame.

Relentless is a film that powerfully illustrates the difficulty in resolving the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. The film directly addresses how each side fulfilled -- or didn't fulfill -- the commitments they made in the Oslo accords. Graphically, it portrays the horrors faced in Israel as a result of the relentless campaign of terror. Israel does not escape criticism in the film, and the hardships faced by Palestinians are not glossed over. One hopes the title reflects the past history of the conflict, and not the future.

Thank you so much for the video, "Relentless", which I have now watched. It is a powerful statement and deserves the widest possible distribution. May Hashem bless all you do!

I strongly recommend this film, which graphically illustrates Yasser Arafat's abject failure to adhere to five major agreements he made as part of the Oslo Accord.
The film, produced / directed by Brian K. Spector and Wayne Kopping, is compulsory viewing. Due to the worldwide media attacks on Israel - most of which are distortions of the truth - this film goes a long way towards displaying the other side of the picture, the utter failure of the Palestinian President to live up to his promises.
All interested in the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel must see this high-quality film.

"If there is to be true peace for both Israelis and Palestinians
in the future, it is important to know what has worked, and what has failed,
in the past. For people serious about understanding the prospects for
peace, "Relentless: The Struggle for Peace" offers superb insights
into obstacles that must be overcome in the future. Compelling and easy
to follow, "Relentless" is like a one-stop-shop for a clearer
understanding of important issues that must be dealt with going forward."

Fuel For Truth
After seeing the premiere of "Relentless" with a number of young adults from our organization, Fuel For Truth, I believe it is imperative for young and old alike to see this film in order to have a clear understanding of the responsibility for peace. "Relentless" clearly showed that establishing peace will require a partnership where both sides need to uphold their end of the agreement.
Through actual news footage from various Palestinian sources "Relentless"
lifted the curtain on the double talk Yasir Arafat and his government
has been committed to over the years since the 1994 Oslo Peace Accords.
The film further goes to show the breakdown of the peace process over
the next 6 years where both Israelis and Palestinians were responsible
for a multitude of steps that would eventually lead to peace between the
two. Israel was the only party fulfilling their end of the bargain.
The cutting-edge graphics and style of "Relentless" is great
for younger audiences such as college students. Students cannot be presented
with a talking-head documentary on the issue and be expected to take everything
in. They need to be approached on the level that media is changing into
today: a fast paced, entertaining environment.
I highly recommend "Relentless" to be exhibited as many places as possible. From national network TV to the Mann Theater in Los Angeles, "Relentless" should be seen by all to know who is the true partner for peace: Israel.

Young Israel of Staten Island June 18, 2003
The screening of "Relentless" went very well and about 300 people attended. The film, "Relentless: The Struggle For Peace In Israel" is fascinating, and more importantly it is very informative and crucial to understanding the situation facing our brothers and sisters in Israel. I highly recommend the film to all people interested in the truth and facts regarding Eretz Yisrael vies-a-vie the Arab-Israeli conflict.

We screened "Relentless" at our Israel Action meeting yesterday evening. The reaction of the 30 people attending (including Christian allies) was exceptionally positive, with enthusiasm for organizing a screening to the greater community abounding. I've never seen such an energetic reaction to an Israel advocacy event.

Rockland County Hebrew High School
We feel compelled to write to you and express our gratitude, not only for sending us the "Relentless, The struggle for Peace in Israel" Kit, but for having produced such a powerful, informative and impactful presentation.
We have already presented two screenings of Relentless. First, we showed our students in the Rockland County Hebrew High School, and the second screening was to our 7th grade students and their parents at the Nanuet Hebrew Center Religious School in New City, New York.
On both occasions, you could barely hear a sound. Those viewing the film were so deeply engaged…there was no time for pause, or so much as a ... 'but…" before the film raised the next question, addressed it and clearly and decisively answered it. Your film took the Oslo accords, and presented all of the issues of it's failure clearly and concisely - providing all the tools necessary for a person to dispute fact from fallacy.
Rarely do we see such honest, accurate coverage presented in such an encompassing and engaging format. Thank you for your continued work in trying to educate the public and cut through the propaganda in search of truth.
We look forward to a long and continued relationship with you, and ... to your next "expose".
Keep up the good work.

I just finished viewing "Relentless," a video put out by HonestReporting.com. If I were to put on celluloid all the images that have been milling about in my brain for the last few years - this would be it. In a very understandable format, HonestReporting.com has laid out the facts for every lover of democracy to view and understand.
If you really want to know what has gone wrong with the Israeli Palestinian situation you must see "Relentless."

"Relentless" is the name of a stunning new documentary that's playing in some cities across the country and is widely available on video and DVD. This chilling production presents a side of the Middle Eastern conflict that very few Americans have ever seen.
Using often-censored news footage, exclusive interviews, and shocking speeches translated from the Arabic to show the true agenda and background of Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority, you see the terrorist leader talking peace with Mike Wallis on CBS and then cut to his exhortations on Palestinian television calling for holy war and the martyrdom of children. The recent footage of five and six year olds talking eagerly of suicide and murder is more frightening than any horror film, and connects directly to America's ongoing war on terror.

As the "road map" process unfolds, the irrefutable case of Palestinian
hate, duplicity and terror documented by Relentless serves as a powerful
reminder that we cannot let our yearning for peace shut our eyes to the
realities of the Middle East.

Remember when Yasser Arafat praised slain terrorist Yihye "The Engineer"
Ayash and Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin on PA TV in 1996?
How about that 1995 interview when he called on martyrs to liberate all
of Palestine, or Arafat confidant Imad Fuluji's December 2000 statement
that the intifada was planned over the summer, well before Ariel Sharon's
controversial walk on the Temple Mount?
For anyone who thinks that the Middle East conflict is a "cycle of
violence," a new documentary, "Relentless: The Struggle for
Peace in Israel," places the blame for the past two and a half years
of violence squarely on the Palestinian Authority. Produced by the media
watch group HonestReporting.com, the 56-minute film attempts to refute
the common wisdom found in the media, on campus, and among intellectuals
that paints Israel as the aggressor in the Middle East conflict.
"When you watch CNN, you get a very myopic view of the situation,"
says the film's executive producer, Raphael Shore. In response, "Relentless"
uses TV clips, polls, analysis, and newspaper articles to prove that the
PA fomented terrorism, glorified terrorist groups, destroyed Jewish holy
sites, refused to officially recognize Israel, and educated its children
for war from 1993 onward, thus violating every single Oslo obligation.
With 10 screenings in South Africa and a second sold-out screening in
New York this week, the producers are planning a Spanish translation for
South America and a Jerusalem premiere. "Unfortunately, Israelis
don't know the full story either," says Shore.
