A future scenario for The Place of Judgment, the Middle East. Are we on course to a doom scenario? What are the scenarios for the Near East in the forseeable future? Tension in the Middle East is mounting again, as political decisions in both the United States and Iran are now being taken by neoconservatives. 'Both places have idiots in charge', states colonel Lawrence Wilkerson. And the weapon of mass destruction scenario has been dug up again, this time for Iran. PLans of attack are being made and pre-emptive strikes are being considered. Backlight presents an ominous future view on the Middle East, the Place of Judgment. For 'Endgame', director Marije Meerman has gathered opinions and attitudes from the US, Israel and Iran concerning Israel's near future. Could the possible US withdrawal from Iraq herald the destruction of Israel? And will the pro-Israel stances of the presidential candidates affect their chances? How will any rethinking of American foreign policy impact on the region? Backlight spoke to: Martin van Creveld (Israeli military historian), Tony Judt (British historian), Brigitte Gabriel (Christian Lebanese emigre), Lawrence Wilkerson (former chief of staff to Colin Powell), Etgar Keret (Israeli writer), Anoush Ehteshami (British-Iranian political scientist) and Richard Perle (American neoconservative). This episode also features Ahmadinejad, pastor John Hagee and Barack Obama in an attempt to illustrate the frontlines of a possible Third World War. Could the increasing tension regarding the escalation of the conflict lead to a self-fulfulling prophesy? Research: William de Bruijn Director: Marije Meerman VPRO Backlight 2007 49'

Isreal is a refugee camp that has oversteped it boundaries. Isreal's problems come from War Crimes, Land Theft, Raceism, Opression, and Greed. Isreals anexation of teritory was toleralted when the U.S. needed a foot-hold in the region. Now Isreals value is a liability to America, and bringing us into World War. Get the Bribary of Isreali Lobby out of the U.S. Political System. U.S. Tax Dollars are for American Social Programs, and the American National Debt. Why do Isreals neighbors respond?

I wish to comment, I am NOT anti-semmetic if I do not agree with you. As an American, I honestly view all humans as equal. We have been historically manipulated against each other by Religion. For the benifit of a few. This is not an issue of religion or historic nationality. Isreals problem could have been resolved many times in the past, unfortunately it has escalated to the breaking point with nuclear threat. It is not beyond return. Thier can be resolve with fair negotiation.

I think its very clear who the evil ones are. Israel and Neo-Conservatism is pure evil.

why do christians support Jews? they are the ones who hate us the most for believing in Jesus. Look up the babylonian talmud, they say horrible things about our Lord Jesus. The NT says that followers of Jesus are the TRUE chosen people of God.

I am amazed that, however dispicable AIPAC maybe they would allow a preacher of hate like John Hagee to go there and piss off all the extremists in the region??? Don't they realize this clown is trying to play them for fools??? Ugh....I get depressed when I look at my little sister and nephews, for I know the world will be a hard and miserable place when they are my age...

John Hagee is an arrogant heretic. How can any man think he can in anyway shape or form bring about the second coming of christ? He is a complete fraud.....
