The Toronto Film Festival has the right to exclude Israeli films they consider "too radical" for their audience.

[upandopen]

Yes they do. And Dennis Prager and I have the right to point out that they're morons for holding that view.

Jane Fonda, Danny Glover, Naomi Klein, John Greyson and the likes, these people really dont have a clue, do they.. ? it is no loss to anyone but themselves.. Good .. we dont need their slop anyway and they are no moral giants, in any form...

[Pomiferous]

Short,sweet and simple.No wonder it's so offensive to the deep thinkers who thrive and depend on complications for ongoing relevance.

Brilliant as usual. also, This week the United Nations voted to remove a reference to sexual orientation from its resolution against extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.among those that voted against was Israel. so to all of you gay people who are so concerned about the Palestinians rights ( you know, the people who voted for Hamas that calls for the destruction of Israel and Jews all over the world ) - when you go to sleep with dogs don't be surprised to wake up with fleas.

@exocet2000 Israel took in 600,000 Jews thrown out of Muslims countries. OTOH, the Arab world shunned the 800,000 Palestinians who chose to leave Israel before it was attacked, people Israel asked not to leave. This was a deliberate strategy so they could blame Israel for the refugee problem. Their leaders have rejected a Palestinian state multiple times, because very simply, that's not their objective. It only takes one side to prevent peace, and that's the Arab side.

[exocet2000]

What is it that you don't get about Israel and its persecution of the Palistinian people? I don't hate anyone but I do despise the inability of the American government to act in a balanced manner on the issue. Dennis Prager has no interest in even questioning the current situation. It's easier to malign anyone in the "radical left" which is more a figment of the Christian Right.

@budybradley and the jews are diminishing themselves by electing people like Netanyahu to lead their country.

[khany1388]

ok...so because Israelis are less homophobic than Palestinians, then this man should abandon his morals and lower his self to the standards of the aforementioned discriminatory parties?

Moreover, are you saying that because Israelis are less homophobic, that they are justified in their illegal occupation and punishment of the Palestinian people? Thats sound logic you've got there Prager! You ugly bastard!

This video is an illustration why the left wing is hideous.

[Kamal767]

Gah its not true... nobody was saying Israeli films should not be put there.

[upandopen]

I meant the non-US world. The rest of the world attempted (and failed) to defend themselves (not the Jews) from the Nazis.
