Men of Israel
''Men of Israel'' is a 2009 gay pornographic film released by Lucas Entertainment studio. Journalists from ''The Atlantic'', ''Out Magazine'' and ''Yediot Aharonot'' noted it as a landmark film as the first pornographic movie shot on location with an all-Israeli cast;〔(Great Exxxpectations ), Wayne Hoffman, Tablet Magazine, July 21, 2009.〕 while ''Tablet Magazine'' and the ''Los Angeles Times'' remarked on it being the first to feature an all-Jewish cast.〔〔(Gay-Porn Mogul Hopes to Arouse Interest in Israel ), David Graham, ''Newsweek'', September 23, 2009.〕〔(First-Ever All-Israeli Gay Porn Movie ), ''DNA'' magazine, May 9, 2009.〕 Director Michael Lucas—who is Jewish and obtained his Israeli citizenship (made ''aliyah'') in 2009—undertook the film as "a bold move to promote Israeli culture and tourism" and to counterbalance what he saw as biased portrayals of Israel in mainstream media.〔〔(Pornographic Stimulus Plan ), Michael Kaminer, ''The Forward'', September 16, 2009.〕
==Background==
Director Michael Lucas was born in Soviet Russia and experienced antisemitism at an early age, which led him to form a strong connection with his Jewish identity and the state of Israel.〔(Gay Porn's Neocon Kingpin ), James Kirchick, ''The New Republic'' via CBSNews.com, March 20, 2006.〕 Lucas is particularly well known for his activism and outspokenness on a variety of issues in LGBT and Jewish cultures.〔〔〔 Hezbollah's attacks in the 2006 Lebanon war stirred Lucas to go to Israel to entertain gay soldiers who are allowed to serve openly in the military.〔Bunder, Leslie (August 19, 2006), ("Entertaining gay Israeli troops" ): "Talkbacks", retrieved from www.ynetnews.com on September 5, 2006.〕 The trip stirred debate in Israeli society, which is pulled between a progressive, almost secular Tel Aviv—named the "gay capital of the Middle East" by ''Out Magazine''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Was Arafat Gay? )〕—and the conservative, Ultraorthodox community centered in Jerusalem.〔Bunder, Leslie (August 24, 2006), ("Lucas responds" ), retrieved from www.somethingjewish.co.uk on September 3, 2006.〕〔Lucas, Michael (August 23, 2006), ("Dear friends and fellow Jews" ), retrieved from www.lucasblog.com on September 5, 2006〕
His ''New York Blade'' columns on Ultra-Orthodox Judaism and Islam sparked a campus debate at Stanford University in February 2008 when Lucas was invited to give a speech to students.〔(Adult film star’s remarks spark debate ), Kelly Fong, February 14, 2008, ''The Stanford Daily''.〕 The ''New Republic'' and the New York City media have called him the "Lion of Chelsea" and the "last of the New York porn moguls".〔 He contends that his film ''Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita'' is the most expensive gay porn film ever made, with a budget of $250,000 and multiple celebrity cameos.〔 In 2009, Lucas was inducted into the GayVN Hall of Fame, noted for "his stature as an A-list director and performer".〔(GAYVN Announces 2009 Hall of Fame Inductees ), Harker Jones, AVN, March 12, 2009.〕
According to Lucas the intent of the film is to help viewers see Israel for its geographic features and history, and a place not much different than Prague or Palm Springs: an inviting LGBT vacation destination where handsome men have sex.〔 "The global media has created an image of Israel as war-torn nation, which streets are lined with destroyed debris and crumbling ruins," wrote Lucas on the film's site, "Never are we shown Tel Aviv, Haifa, the Red Sea, the Dead Sea resorts, the beautiful beaches, the amazing architecture and the embracing culture that allows its citizens to thrive."〔(Men of Israel ) About the film - official site.〕
