Danny Glover among protesters of documentary’s screening in Tel Aviv
Jewish Journal ^ | 5/13/14

Danny Glover and others featured in a documentary about a 98-year-old Asian-American activist are protesting the film’s screening at a Tel Aviv film festival. In a statement released Monday, participants in “American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs,” including Boggs, said they “formally stand with the people of Palestine,” support the call for a cultural and an academic boycott of Israel, and were “shocked” to find the film slated for inclusion at the Doc Aviv festival this week. Boggs, a philosopher and writer who has been involved in left-wing American social movements, “has explicitly stated her support of the boycott and believes this screening is in direct contradiction to her legacy and ongoing work as a revolutionary,” the statement continued. The producers posted the statement on the film’s website, but prefaced it by saying they had been “unaware that playing in the festival would be an issue for the participants of the film. We respect their position and regret the discomfort this has caused for them.”

I don't give a rat's a** how talented Danny Glover may be, you couldn't pay me to see any of this Jew-hating overpaid mannequin's flicks.

Danny Glover is always complaining that he can't hail a cab in NYC - this is his attempt to make himself more appealing to city cab drivers.

He's tired, Riggs, tired of walkin' everywhere.

Reading the excerpt, it appears the film in question is an expose — and Glover doesn’t want to be exposed.

Earth to Danny: Nobody gives a rip about anything you say (that wasn't written for you to read).

"Jews"? Liberal American Jews. Israeli Jews have figured it out. Brooklyn Jews have figured it out. That leaves fewer Jews supporting Liberals than against them.

More Jews live in Israel than anywhere else. They DISPISE Obama. In the US, Othrhodox Jews are a minority, but predominately very conservative politically. They vote, and campaign for Republicans in Brooklyn.

So whe you says "Jews vote liberal" don't slander the majority who do not live in the US. Remember, many Israeli Jews vote in US elections.
