Esther Schapira (b. 1961; Germany) is a film-maker best known for producing/directing a documentary 'proving' that Mohammed Al Dura, a Palestinian child shot by soldiers in Gaza, was actually killed by the Palestinians themselves. In 2007, she produced a documentary on suicide bombers, their ideology and their alleged inherent anti-semitism. On 11 March 2008, Spanish TV aired her Entering Paradise/Entrar en el paraiso about a young would-be suicide bomber.[1] Prof. Agustin Velloso criticized the film because firstly, it portrays Islam as blessing suicide bombing, and secondly that Palestinian education fosters anti-semitism.[2]
