World cinema, in accordance with its political, ideological, social, religious and other orientations, wrote ideological visions targeting groups, peoples and nations, by employing symbols and connotations related to history, religion and nationalism. Among them was Zionist cinema, which was based on the worlds of its inherited religious, social and historical symbols to be a medium through which it could penetrate the feelings and sentiments of the recipient for sympathy. and support On the other hand, the religious and social symbols of the Arabs were used to give a superficial, ideological image that contributes to spreading hatred and malice against them in order to convey ideas with a political dimension and achieve harm to others.
