Hollywood Applauds Iranian Filmmaker...
Grabien News ^ | 26 FEB 2017 | Unknown

The audience at the 2017 Academy Awards heartily applauded as a statement from Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi, who boycotted the ceremony, was read that ridiculed President Trump’s “inhumane” immigration executive order.

Farhardi, the director of The Salesman, said he was skipping this year’s Oscars “out of respect for the people of my country and those of six nations whom have been disrespected by the inhumane law that bans entry of immigrants to the U.S.”

The comment drew hearty applause from the gathered Hollywood glitterati.

I'm thinking we should send a delegation of Jews and gays from Hollywood to Iran to discuss inhumane US laws with the mullahs.

I'll be happy to contribute...

Dear Eyechart Iranian: if your home nation is such a wonderland, why are you concerned about the US? Why are you concerned about travel to and from a place you have such disdain for? Why aren’t you bigging up Iran and its political (read: religious) leaders rather than grumping about the US leader?

So America-hating dhimmis side with America-hating Iran over their own country.

How apropos.

Islamists could make movies that would automatically get them Oscars because these Hollywood wt noodles would be too cowardly not to give them the award.

“ridiculed President Trump’s “inhumane” immigration executive order”

What is more “inhumane”, trying to prevent terror attacks or committing 30,376 terror attacks in the name of Allah since 911?

I look at this website all the time, all of it verifiable. There is not ONE single day where a Islamic terror attack does not happen.

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/

Past 3 days alone........

2017.02.26 (Philippines)
A 70-year-old German hostage is beheaded by Abu Sayyaf.

2017.02.25 (Afghanistan)
A woman and ten police officers are machine-gunned outside a mosque by Sharia hardliners.

2017.02.25 (Syria)
Two Religion of Peace suicide blasts leave at least forty-two mangled and charred corpses.

2017.02.24 (Iraq)
Fifteen border guards are massacred by an Islamic State suicide bomber.

2017.02.24 (Syria)
At least sixty people are blown apart by a Shahid suicide bomber as they are lining up for housing permits.

2017.02.23 (Egypt)
Jihadists murder a Coptic man and set his home on fire.

Biggest state sponsor of terrorism gets to lecture us on human rights. They seized our Embassy in 1979 and held our diplomats hostage for 444 days. They were behind the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon and Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia killing American personnel. They funded and armed the terrorists in Iraq resulting in more American deaths. We paid them millions in ransom for Americans held by them. And most recently, they committed this outrage:

He either has been awarded an Oscar before, are they just sent it to him early, after he announced his intentions to not attend and his reason, for a photo op.

We could save money on that by just sending a few gay Jews... I’m guessing that the audience was full of them.

An EO promulgated and first applied by ZERO. The hypocrisy is deafening.

I was thinking that all of the refugees should be sent to Hollywood.
There is plenty of space there with nice big houses.
There is plenty of money and more importantly.
Everyone who lives there supports there right (sic) to come to America.

whom have been disrespected by the inhumane law that bans entry of immigrants to the U.S. ....................... How about the holy law that bars immigrants from migrating to Iran? I’m willing to bet there is one.

It’s a damned shame the Iranians are becoming outspokenly anti-Trump in Hollywood... Iranian cinema is among the finest in the world, and I think their expats could have a great effect on our mainstream films. They have to put up with a lot of crap from the regime’s censors. If you are not acquainted with their films, here’s a few I suggest:

Before 1979:

The Cow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBzgiBLj_ng

Brick and Mirror: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-gfNZqKULw

The House is Black: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpZ9stU_O7E (from

After 1979:

Bashu the Little Stranger: www.veoh.com/watch/v4028699hTPd6ZT7

The White Balloon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T02oZVtsjnA

The White Meadows: www.snagfilms.com/films/title/the_white_meadows_keshtzar_haye_sepid (this one got banned by the regime)

A few more that are diffcult to find:

Gold and Copper
Baran
Pomegranate and Cane

Scr*w all those Islamic A**kissers in Hollyweird. They can take their chummy little self-love fests and shove them.

The only reason he won is so that a political statement can be made, obviously.

It’s a spite award, from those who hate Trump and America.
It must feel really good to get an award because hollywood hates our president, instead of anything based on real talent.
