"What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist."
The Marine shrugged and replied, "Recoil."

The Palestinian film "Paradise Now," which sympathetically depicts the lives of two Palestinian terrorists, won the Golden Globe and was nominated by the Academy of Motion Pictures in Hollywood for the best foreign film Oscar.
How is it possible, I ask myself, that such a film is acclaimed by people of culture? The main reason is that terrorists active against Israel are regarded by many as freedom fighters, whose motives should be readily understood.
One word has transformed Palestinian terrorists into sympathetic figures in certain quarters, and has tainted all political discussion surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. That word is "occupation."
All land not part of Israel until 1967 is deemed "occupied territory." And in dealing with supposedly stolen land, all means are justified.
By these criteria there can be no negotiations about Gush Etzion or other settlement blocs, no discussion about a united Jerusalem. These areas are illegally occupied, and have to be given back.
The term "occupation" also reminds people of the German occupation of Europe during World War II. This allusion to Nazism makes Israel's transgression even worse. It is only a small step from the "occupation" to a full-scale comparison of Israel to Nazi Germany. In this context, who can deny the Palestinians the right to fight the "occupation?"
Calling the West Bank "occupied" is irresponsible and unjustified. Let's remember that Israel didn't initiate the war in order to conquer land. Israel was attacked in 1967. Nor did it take land from a sovereign state. The West Bank and Gaza were illegally in the hands of Jordan and Egypt, respectively. The disputed areas were promised for Jewish settlements by the League of Nations in 1922, and all the resolutions of this body were transferred to the United Nations under Article 80 of the U.N. charter.

"How Is It That Suddenly Becomes Oscar-Worthy? (turning ists into sympathetic figures)"
Against America = Oscar Worthy. There, that should answer the question.
One would think that a producer would know better.
He asserts that the portrayal is "sympathetic," but fails to provide any evidence to support it.
I have not seen the film myself, but from reading about it I am given to understand that terrorism is not glamorized, that one of the two suicide bombers we follow actually changes his mind and chooses life. If that is indeed the case, it's a very different film than people like Cohn think.
How Is It That Terror Suddenly Becomes Oscar-Worthy?
Simple, repeat after me "America/Israel bad"....Oppressed minorities good"....Simple, repeat after me "America/Israel bad"....Oppressed minorities good"....Simple, repeat after me "America/Israel bad"....Oppressed minorities good"....
...Against America = Oscar Worthy. There, that should answer the question....
Don't forget-
Against America = Nobel Peace Prize (Jimmy PEANUT)
Question:
Jimmy Carter likes peanuts or is that a reference to his BRAIN size ????
A sympathetic portrayal of terrorists simply furthers the agenda of Hollywierd. Sad

GREAT ANSWER
Thanks for the picture.
Created by the same Hollywood bunch that was terrified that "The Passion" would create a wave of antisemitism.
Nobel Committee = Academy of Motion Pictures...
Jimmy Carter's Brain = Peanut Butter
LOLOLOLO!!!
Now that is great logic, makes complete sense.

After the Munich olympics my feelings on them were shaped forever (and I was right because they've only gotten worse since)
Love that pic.
I have no sympathy for terrorists but you imagine the experience of sharing a cup of tea with Achmed and the next thing you know he's all over the radio, your cup of tea, etc.
bump
Please tell me that's a true story!
Yes it's a true story.
It happened a month / six weeks ago.
I even heard Rush talking about it when it happened.
A reporter with a crap question trying to get the Marine to say something negative about war, war experience, Iraq.... anything negative. Typical MSM.
