SDK on Sunday: Israel, Ready to Respond t5i4h of gtets , Novi Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. It includes interviews with leading members of Israel's peace camp — such as former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and his foreign minister, Shlomo Ben-Ami — as well as left- wing intellectuals in Israel and France. From the moment of its release Jan. 22, Decryptage has gotten much publicity in the French media — though many publications accused it of presenting only one point of view. Typical were the comments of Ange- Dominique Bouzet in the center-left daily Liberation, which itself comes in for criticism in the film. Bouzet described Deoyptage as a "propaganda documentary" that is part of "a mili- tant attempt at disinformation." However, Philippe Cohen of Marianne noted that Deciyptage was very much "a symptom of the fracture between those who guard Palestine in their hearts and those who live Israel in their guts." Later, even Liberation ran a two- page spread on Deolotage, describing it as a "docu-mirror of French Jews." "Decryptage has mobilized the com- munity," the paper said. Interestingly, Marianne also won- dered whether campaigns for more balanced media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were start- ing to have an effect. Criticizing the tendency of the French media to see things in black- and-white terms, Marianne's publish- er, Jean-Francois Kahn, wrote that the media was "generally pro-Palestinian, in the same way it was or is pro- Biafran, pro-Bangladeshi, pro-Bosnian or pro-Chechen." Nevertheless, there was an increasing attempt within the media to adopt a more balanced approach to matters both Jewish and Israeli, "and we can only rejoice about that," he said. Even among Jews lining up at the Arlequin, there was agreement on that score. "You know, I watch TV here and I see the news, but I have children in Israel so I see both sides," Suzy Soussan told JTA. "But it's getting better here and there's a lot less negative reporting because, finally, the community is doing something about it." Decryptage ends with the famous quote from Hillel: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me?" With the seats at the Arlequin still filled to capacity, French Jews appear to have taken the message very much to heart.
