Whilst, for an American film, it didn't totally demonise the Palestinians, it did go out of its way to make the Israeli assassins/bombers rather cuddly. Which I found especially ugly by the time they were running rampant killing anyone they took a dislike to, particularily the woman on the houseboat and blowing up hotels.
I found the way the guy in charge of them (sorry its been so long since I have seen it that I have forgotten details like names) would go from committing terrorist acts to phoning his wife to talk to his kid particularily unbelievable.

......... I liked this movie, although it works much better as entertainment than as a piece "based on actual events." (Some may prefer the description of "a bastardization of actual events.") I completely agree with Dave C's comment, (quoted above) and found this part of the protagonists' character especially distracting during the final 30 or so minutes of the movie.
