Yes, he described Palestinians as "the bugs" and said some other really fucking ignorant quotes from that movie without the slightest understanding of Paul Verhoeven's intent (his effort may have been doomed from the start; he even scolded actors on set for "not getting it" and just enjoying the fascism).

I have some license with what I say because I'm moving and transferring out of state in a few weeks but I also don't want to have a bad mark on my record by saying something particularly scary about the IDF, so what should I tell him on Monday?

What he said was spoken in the break room; I was considering recording it if he repeats himself but I don't know if I want to get into some kind of legal slapfight (which I wouldn't necessarily win; administration isn't exactly comrades here) when I have a foot out the door.

Considering that I live in California, I could be pedantic and tell him that it is like he lived continents away from the Buenos Aires attack in the movie and was still screaming for blood as if he was personally aggrieved by the attack instead of just craving blood and waiting for a justification. That was my running idea.
