Fourth of July Movie: Raid on Entebbe

Yonatan "Yoni" Netanyahu, z'l, commander of the elite IDF special forces unit Sayeret Matkal. He was the only Israeli killed in Operation Entebbe. Benjamin Netanyahu, his younger brother, is the current Prime Minister of Israel.

July 4th is Independence Day.

It is also the 35th anniversary of the Israeli Raid on Entebbe, July 4, 1976, in which the IDF planned and carried out one of the most audacious, innovative, and courageous rescue operations in military history.

To the jihadists America is the Big Satan and Israel is the Little Satan

Thus Israel is the only country in the world that truly understands and celebrates the Fourth of July.

My good friend and co-worker, the late Edgar J. Scherick--he joined our Passover seder one year--produced this film. He once told me that of all his distinguished credits, it was this movie he was most proud.

Let us all celebrate freedom.

Here's the entire Raid on Entebbe, 1977.

 

And pay particular attention to the "selection scene" where the IslamoNazis separate Jew from non-Jew.
