This is depressing, but instructive, on a couple of levels. The first is the obvious double standard to which these Israeli artists are being subjected, and which they clearly recognize.
The second is captured by Mr. Honig's comment "My film speaks about co-existence and shows the difficulty (of Arabs and Jews) living together in Neveh Shalom." What is sad is that he thinks that if he just makes nice with the poor palesimians and their antisemitic supporters, they will make nice with him. It's sad that he's been disillusioned, but he should understand that he might as well make films showing the true barbarity of the arabs, since the antisemites will NEVER accept him, even if he does make films about "co-existence."

Looks like the boycott Goebbels was calling for is finally being implemented 75 years later.
I hope the French are really proud of themselves.

If I were among the Israeli film makers, I would be sending a thank you note to the French.
Who wants to sit through an endless stream of Jerry Lewis-inspired movies anyway?

These leftists are so clueless they really don't understand why they are being rejected by their fellow artists. "But we are against the occupation! We love the Palestinians! We are just like you!"
It's like the elites in the Berlin coffee houses of the '30's: "Oh, Hitler isn't talking about us. He means those kikes in Poland. We hate them too."

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

bumpmark. Interesting. Wonder what US Hollywood will say, and whether indie groups in the US will follow suit? I suspect Soros has something to do with this--he has his fingers deep into independent filmmaking all over the US, in the film schools of universities--I'd think it'd be the same in Europe.

"My film speaks about co-existence and shows the difficulty (of Arabs and Jews) living together in Neveh Shalom."Without knowing something more specific about the film, it's hard to say it suggests that the answer is for Israelis to "play nice." It is equally possible to surmise that the film illustrates the difficulty of coexistence with lunatics wallowing in a state of victimhood who are taught from the cradle that it is the fault of the Jews. I just can't really tell from his description.
Generally speaking, just when I think the French can't find a way to be more offensive, they do.

because of their "opposition to the occupation." I've heard this phrase often. "Occupation" really seems to incite, and outrage a great many people around the world......unless, of course, its hezbollah occupying Lebanon.

I get a kick out of seeing the Israeli extreme Left's cultural works of anti-Zionism and Jewish self-loathing boycotted by the French. Far from being upset, I see this as cause for celebration! As a philo-semite, I feel proud to be turned down by France!

Filmmakers for the most part are left-wing anti-American anti-Western civilization. I used to do some tech work with a film festival and had so many "discussions" with the idiots it wasn't funny. I really loved the fact they thought the government should give them money to make "films"(remember, they always make films not movies) but should not have any input it what the "film" was about.

I don't know, but I hope this is on their radar. It's strange, but for me, this is the straw that breaks my personal camel's back regarding France.
I'm thinking of going out and getting an Israeli flag to fly alongside my American one. The treatment of Israel in our own MSM, and by seemingly the world at large is making me sick.

You really have to ask this?
They will commend the French on their courage. That's what Liberals do. Talk about courage and moral victories.

There you go :)
I might get my Israeli flag in a smaller size than the US one, though.
I'm also tempted to get a small Cuban one, in sympathy with the expat community around here, between the two, I ought to really tick off the liberals in the neigborhood.

If the Israelis started their own film festivals, I guarantee they would bury France's film festivals, including Cannes, within 3 -5 years.
