It strikes me in much the same way as the original - it's a lot of editorializing that supports the views that people had before the movie was made. Better production value, and smarter commentary, but still I'm not surprised (or even particularly disappionted) that the Israelis would be actively spinning things. It's only prudent...
So both of these movies confirm what I suspected of both sides. Now what?

I must have been fortunate to see the whole of it without interruption. A case is carefully built, in a logical fashion that gives credibility to the notion that our (US) media is either being manipulated or is choosing to provide a very one sided picture to the events of the Middle East. I agree that both video's represent PR in a general sense, but the longer one provides context.
The "Now What" question
is the ultimate one that we should be asking ourselves, and the video roachboy linked is a good starting off point, imo. It has been granted here, to some extent, that we are being manipulated by both sides of this divide. A topic rooted in the full context of the Middle East would serve to begin answering that very important question.
