If Trump's legacy in Judea and Samaria is to last, Netanyahu will have to move quickly. Waiting for Biden: a newly set Mideast table - analysis. Some elements of Trump's Mideast peace plan, the so-called “Deal of the Century,” are becoming facts on the ground regardless of who wins next week’s US election. The historic battle for Israel’s heritage. Hundreds of heritage and archaeology sites in Judea and Samaria are reportedly slated to be removed from Israeli control and transferred to the jurisdiction of the proposed Palestinian state. It's not too late to push Trump's 'Peace to Prosperity' plan – opinion. In sharp contrast to past peace efforts with the Palestinians, this new plan presents a pathway to achieve parameters that will lead to something realistic and long-lasting. Netanyahu: Annexation still on the agenda. The prime minister said the matter is currently in the Trump administration’s hands. Netanyahu, Pompeo put Trump peace plan back on the table. However, they notably did not mention any timeline for Israel to apply sovereignty to parts of Judea and Samaria as the plan allows. The Trump plan might actually be pro-Palestinian. The plan can also be regarded as a reflection or acknowledgment of reality, as it stands today. Settlers push for new settlement outside boundaries of Trump plan. On Wednesday close to 1,000 right-wing activists held a rally in an area known as Ma’aleh Halhoul on the outskirts of the Gush Etzion Region of the West Bank. Settler leader: It will be a gift to Trump if Netanyahu annexes alone. ‘Israel’s annexation window will soon close.’ The capital of Palestine – just 50 meters from a Jewish neighborhood. According to Trump's peace plan, the neighborhoods of Shuafat, Kafr Akab, Anata and environs will be designated as the capital of the Palestinian state. Deal of the Century. Deal of the Century is a 1983 satire starring Chevy Chase as an arms dealer who finds himself employed by an American defense contractor to convince a South American dictator to purchase an unmanned flying arms platform with questionable reliability. The film was directed by William Friedkin ( The French Connection ) and the cast includes Sigourney Weaver and Gregory Hines. The following weapons were used in the film Deal of the Century : Contents. Rifles. Heckler & Koch HK91. The Heckler & Koch HK91 is a rifle that arms dealer Eddie Muntz (Chevy Chase) tries to sell to some South American rebels. The particular rifle he tries to sell has an attached scope and even a bottle opener! Deal of the Century. Arms dealers from several companies vie to sell the most expensive and highest tech weapons to a South American dictator. There are complications; understanding the exact nature of how 'gifts' are used to grease the wheels of a sale, a religious conversion from one of the salesman and a romance that begins to grow between two competitors.

Popular reviews. Friedkin can't really decide how to pitch this alleged satire of the military industrial complex and so he tries every hash mark on the knob until he settles on "expensive, tin-eared farce." Entirely self-evident that nobody in this wants to be there. Most people who've seen this would strongly disagree, but I thought it was a smart political satire about arms dealing in the military, with some extra rounds of that SNL-style goofiness that was starting to seep into Hollywood comedies at the time. What works best: it's an uncommonly accurate use of Chevy Chase's key comic nature as a deadpan wisecracking insincere schemer, and it displays more than a passing knowledge of its subject matter, which is more than you can say for most comedies based around an expertise. It talks adroitly about America's mutually beneficial participation in arming its enemies (with occasional pans across footage of Reagan giving speeches on TV, plus references to VP Bush's activities, to show that… DIESES BOMBENGESCHÄFT. KÖNNTE IHR LETZTES SEIN! Mittelmäßige Komödie über das Wettrüsten der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, die heute extrem angestaubt und nicht mehr zeitgemäß wirkt. Der Film geht sehr stark ins Detail und könnte man dadurch schon fast als Propaganda für USA abstempeln. Die Komödie besitzt teilweise auch keinen wirklichen Roten Faden und plätschert nur so vor sich hin. Die Gags sind mäßig und Chevy Chase sowie Gegory Haines wirken deplatziert. Nicht gerade eine Sternstunde aus dem Bereich Comedy. Hoje a esplendorosa Sigourney Weaver completa 70 anos, o que faz disso uma desculpa para ver um Friedkin que não conheço e que outros fazem pensar que é pior do que realmente é. Filme político satírico da Era Reagan soa como um resumão dos anos 80, as republiquetas das bananas, o cinismo norte-americano entre a religião e a guerra, os ditadores africanos, os esquemas do oriente-médio, está tudo lá, mas não é uma comédia de se gargalhar sim de um sorriso maroto. DVDRip PirateBay. Quickie Review Known at the time for making more serious films like The French Connection, The Exorcist and Sorcerer , William Friedkin took a stab at the comedy genre and together with writer Paul Brickman, fresh off of directing Risky Business the same year, and Bud Yorkin, better known for producing Blade Runner and “All in the Family”, crafted a satirical and surprisingly still relevant look at the arms business. with mixed results. In a more seriocomic performance that also displays his usual trademark deadpan smartassery, Chevy Chase plays Eddie Muntz, one of the world’s most successful arms dealers who’s traveling to a South American country to make the deal of the century (like the title of the film), racing against his competitors… This is the kind of Chevy Chase performance you can at least hang your hat on. Deal Of The Century. Chevy Chase and his partners are arms dealers. They sell second-rate weapons to Third World nations. But they're not out to stick it to anyone. Fast-talking Eddie Muntz is a supersalesman. He sells weapons - little ones to kick off a riot and big ones that can trigger a world war. He won't sell just to anybody, only to folks with suitcases full of money. Chevy Chase, Sigourney Weaver and Gregory Hines star in Deal of the Century, a devilish satire of the international arms trade from writer Paul Brickman (Risky Business) and director William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist). In the absurdist tradition of Dr. Strangelove and Wag the Dog, it's an uproarious look at an industry selling big bangs for big bucks - and shouldering big responsibility for the current sorry state of global relations. If your laughter is a little nervous, you're beginning to get the point. Watch Deal of the Century. It’s an arms dealers market when a South American dictator has an open market to purchase the new and the most hi-tech weapons available. All the dealers have something on the line and they need to close the deal if they’re going to make it out. From common bribes, religious conversions and romantic involvement the salesmen for these arms dealers will stop at nothing to make sure they get the money from the dictator for their fenced goods. Will they close the deal or will the companies risk financial collapse if they can’t unload their goods?.
