P2P is legal in Israel so I see no problem with posting this link.
All the Israelis that boycotted the movie, WELL DONE!
Right now there aren't any subtitles so if you know a guy that knows how to make subtitles and he speaks Hebrew than translate this movie.

From wikipedia
Beaufort (Hebrew: בופור is a 2007 Israeli War/Drama film directed by Joseph Cedar based on Ron Leshem's book Im Yesh Gan Eden (If There is a Heaven).
The movie is a story about an IDF unit stationed at the Beaufort post in Southern Lebanon and their commander, Liraz Liberti who was the last commander on the Beaufort castle before the Israeli withdrawal in 2000.
The story takes place in the year 2000, the year of the IDF withdrawal from south Lebanon. The setting for the film is a 12th century Crusader stronghold in southern Lebanon, just prior to Israel's withdrawal from that country in 2000. Israel's sudden withdrawal from Beaufort and Lebanon after 18 years of occupation is the backdrop for Cedar's film, which outlines the daily routine of a group of soldiers, their feelings and their fears, and explores their moral dilemmas in the days preceding the withdrawal.
The movie's director, himself an IDF veteran who was stationed in Lebanon, uses the stone walls of Beaufort castle as a symbol of the futility and endlessness of war. The film was shot in northern Israel in the spring of 2006. Symbolically, filming was completed in June, just a month before the second war in Lebanon broke out.
What is the reason to boycott this movie?

Most of the cast of this movie didn't serve in the IDF or did any national service.
They say that they did this in order to promote their acting career and not out of ideological/medical reasons. So if they do nothing to contribute to the country while most of the rest do than they can go f*ck themselves.
So the only reason why you want people to boycott this movie is just because cast didn't serve in military? Oh my God...
Look at Hollywood mate. Most of their movie heroes has never seen real gun in their life.
It's one thing to not serve in the army when you don't have to, it's a whole another thing to dodge the draft and disobey/trick the law. The law in Israel states that every man/woman at the age of 18 must join the IDF apart of Israeli Arabs and Orthodox Jews. Since they are not Arabs or Orthodox they must serve in the military or if they can't out of ideological reasons than they should do national service.
These people were released from the army for various reasons, but they lied to be released. The only reason they wanted to be released is to advance their acting career, in other words they are selfish a**holes.
Maybe in the states or wherever you live it's not such a big deal to not serve in the army, but here young men are giving at least 3 years of their life in the military and later do reserve duty up until they are 40. The director shouldn't have chosen a cast of draft dodgers to play real soldiers that actually died at that place, he should have given jobs to actors that did serve.
is there a torrent for this movie?

Moledet,
Apart from Itay Tiran and Itay Turgeman, whom of the other actors are you 100% sure didn't serve in the army or do any sort of national service (Oshry Cohen served for one year in the army)?
Anyway, regardless of any boycott... over 90,000 people watched the movie during the first 10 days of its release.

I am not advertising, I am letting people to download it for free. There are quite a few Israelis around here that want to watch and haven't and I bet the Lebanese here are pretty interested but they'll have to wait for subtitles.
Anyway, I finished watching it. Overall it's a nice film, nothing spectacular.
