	Between Sex And Country: The Films of Eytan Fox — A Jewish Magazine, an Interfaith Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		In Fox’s films and TV dramas, that friction is often presented as a tension between the sexual interests of his characters—in particular, though not exclusively, homosexual interests—and a preoccupation in their surroundings with matters of national security, including military service, the Lebanon War, the first Gulf War, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
		Fox neither criticizes the politics of the War nor reflects on the rifts it has created in Israeli society; in fact, as in his other films, he builds on crude stereotypes to sketch social and political issues.
		Fox is accused at times of being a conservative filmmaker, because his films do not criticize or ironize the socio-ideological reality in which they take place.
