My writer does not want to change the "oil" facts anymore, bummer!!

I'm confused, what is the logline proposed here about an attack planned in an Israeli-Palestinian summit or a beauty pageant?

Also I would be wary of writing about a sensitive subject held close to many people's hearts with out knowing the facts and history intimately.

Two big questions your posts above raise:

- you wrote "...capturing a terrorist in Palestine..." there are Palestinian territories and there is Israel Palestine doesn't exist. Political opinions aside and in a practical sense, where is the story located in Israel or the Palestinian territories?

This distinction is incredibly important if you are writing on this subject matter and held in very high regard by many people whom will need to read the script before the film gets made.

- you wrote "...As long as the world needs oil reserves to fuel it?s energy cost. They?ll never not occupy the Middle East. This is a war of money not politics..."
I am not sure this statement rings true to most terrorists or IDF personal. There is no oil being pumped out of the ground for international markets in either Israel or Palestinian territories. At most there is very little and to the degree that would hardly impact any economy much less be able to supply any other countries in the world.

Why would terrorists in Palestinian territories care about oil and money if they are driven by their own ideology?

Hope this helps.
