Judaism in You Don't Mess with the Zohan
8
Not only does the film depict Jews based on common stereotypes, but it also ridicules Arabs. There are certain elements, mainly dialogues and the way they look, that strip them down to weapon freaks who feel nothing but the thirst for Jewish blood. The well-known gernelalization here is the fact that Palestinians are terrorists, which is reinforced by the character present in the opening scene, namely the falafel restaurant owner man called “the Phantom.”
