It has already started. Anti-semitism (state-structured or group-structured anti-Jewish policies) and gold ol' fashioned hatred of the Jews is now more in vougue than Manolo shoes. It will only get worse, I'm afraid....

[chilepepper]

Or as James Burnham used to say

He who says "A" must say "B"

[pieceofthepuzzle]

And his opinion matters why?
Because he makes movies?
Who cares!!!

[aculeus]

Loach, a member of the Socialist Workers Party and the National Council of George Galloway’s Respect Party, also condemned the British and US governments for supporting Israel.

Rhymes with "roach".

[fieldmarshaldj]

I hate British Nazis.

[trek]

But wait! I thought sanctions didn't work. Isn't that what the lefties are telling us about Iran????

"George Galloway’s Respect Party"

Didn't this guy get a direct invitation to convert to Islam? I haven't heard his response. Anyone else know? I can't wait to hear this one. LOL.

[vimto]

After he appeared on big brother in a leotard, making cat noises and supping milk from Rula's paw I would think he is first on Islams list for the chop.

[phillyfanatic]

Exactly. Who cares what this bum says except the Hollywood Left?? The response is for Americans not to see any of his tripe or anything that Palestinians put forward. That Europe, Galloway, the EU can put forward this mess as real art is nonsense. I am sure they will rethink their hatred of Hitler's pre-Nazi portraits and tell us it is good art!!!!! What morons!

Galloway is a raging antisemite. Screw this socialist neo-nazi.

I see that he also contributed a piece to the French anthology film on 9-11 (which included one anti-American segment). Boycotting his library of work will be easy as I haven't seen any of it and only recognize 2 films in his entire filmography (which stretches back 45 years).

I'm waiting for the Hollywood left to denounce his antisemitism and his support of terrorist attacks launched from Lebanon with the wink and a nod from the Lebanese government (there should have been ZERO tolerance for rockets being launched).

"The 69-year-old winner of this year’s Palme d’Or award at the Cannes Film Festival"

If recent history has shown us anything, the Academy will probably honor him with an Oscar nomination just as they honored Hitler's filmmaker, Leni Riefenstahl, on the year of her death. And NO she didn't have to become Hitler's propagandist. Fritz Lang could've had the job and fled Nazi Germany. If you opposed the regime, don't do such a "good job" making them look so powerful and superior.

Americans can combat this leftist, anti-semite idiot by supporting Israeli in both commerce and culture. This website that lists Israeli companies to be boycotted gives us a good list that we can support in opposition to the websites hatred.

Israeli Goods

If anyone has links to other Israeli commerce or culture sites please add them to this thread.

Too late, by about 50 years... 3/4 of Europe have already flushed their Bibles down the toilet...
