Pierre Rehov is the pseudonym of a French-Israeli film maker and novelist, most known for his movies which are almost exclusively based on the Arab-Israeli conflict. ==Life== Rehov was born to a Jewish family from Algiers, when Algeria was still a French department. According to his website, he experienced terrorism at a young age. In the sixties, Rehov left Algeria with his mother and younger brother to join his father, already in France.〔(Filmmaker uncovers shocking Palestinian ‘myths’ ), 14 July 2004, (WND, "The Largest Christian Website in the World" )〕 His family became a part of as many as 250,000 other Jews and about one pied-noirs (French settlers) fleeing Algeria, which was to become independent the next year. A later film on Jewish refugees (Silent Exodus) described the fate of Jews who fled Arab countries after 1948. He chose not to describe his own community from Algeria, since the Algerian war was a colonial problem involving France more than the Jewish community, although he recalls that Jews in Algeria, had been suffering of Muslim antisemitism for decades, when Algeria was part of France. Rehov says he was not a pro-Israeli activist until 2000, when he saw the death of Muhammad al-Durrah on television, and doubted its authenticity. He, and others, requested an investigation into the murder of al-Durrah. He claimed that it was Palestinian gunfire that killed the child. This investigation was also featured in the film Decryptage. Since then, he has been working mostly in the Palestinian territories, and other Arab countries, including in Iraq, where he was embedded in the US army as a free lance reporter. Rehov claims that every reporter must be (or appear to be) pro-Palestinian to work in the Palestinian territories safely and this, among other things, creates systematic anti-Israeli bias, especially on French media outlets. He advocates a two-state solution, for Palestinians and Israelis to live side by side, but does not believe that peace will be possible for many generations. In January 2008, Rehov was embedded in the 4/1 US cavalry in Baghdad, where he filmed hours of dailies, showing the situation in Iraq from the field. Those images are part of his last documentary ''The Path to Darkness''. In 2008 Rehov moved to the United States due to what he described as a growing climate of antisemitism in France. Three years later moved to Tel Aviv, Israel, where he now lives. Rehov has a girlfriend, as well as a son and daughter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierre Rehov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
