I find it interesting that it is based on a true story.

They said the begining is. Not sure if the revenge occured and I certainly don't think there was a mad Jewish doctor selling organs on the black market. The movie would probably bug me less if said doctor was just another evil American or capitalist, or whatever, but a Jew? Come on.....

I think it would be a little better if the Jewish doctor was left out, also.

"Valley of the Wolves Iraq" opens with a true story: On July 4, 2003, in Sulaymaniyah, northern Iraq, troops from the U.S. Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade raided and ransacked a Turkish special forces office, threw hoods over the heads of 11 Turkish special forces officers, and held them in custody for more than two days.

The Americans said they had been looking for Iraqi insurgents and unwittingly rounded up the Turks because they were not in uniform.

I can't imagine any sane person thinking that's a reasonable explanation.

All Americans should be deeply offended -- not by the way we're depicted in this movie, but by our government's actions abroad. I might sympathize with the makers of the movie if they hadn't felt the need to include a sinister Jewish doctor.

Anti-Semitism sells

So the producer/director purposely include a Jewish character there to make the film become the best seller?

Or is it the Muslim is generally anti-semitic, that is why the Turkish film put this theme there?

Or may be the Turkish does not want to appear to be purely anti-America, so adding in the flavour of anti-semetic might make it acceptable to the American audience, and the film will then sell in US?
