[email protected] Hollywood’s Raid on Entebbe: Behind the Scenes of the United States-Israel Alliance One by one, the camera settles on their frightened faces. At first, the hostages in the cramped, humid airport terminal thought it was just another announcement, something to relieve their boredom almost. But as the hijackers’ body language changes and the movie’s mournful soundtrack builds, it quickly dawns both on the hostages (and the audience) just what’s happening: Thirty years after the Second World War, and in the middle of Africa, the Jews are being selected, just like during the Holocaust.
