Palestinian propaganda film maker held for questioning at LA X until intervention by famous obese socialist

The histrionic idiocy suggests the type of over-exaggerated propaganda routinely put out by Palestinian activists and their supporters:

"Last night, on my way from Turkey to Los Angeles, CA, my family and I were held at U.S. immigration for about an hour and questioned about the purpose of my visit to the United States," Burnat said in a statement issued to THR. "Immigration officials asked for proof that I was nominated for an Academy Award for the documentary 5 Broken Cameras and they told me that if I couldn't prove the reason for my visit, my wife Soraya, my son Gibreel and I would be sent back to Turkey on the same day. After 40 minutes of questions and answers, Gibreel asked me why we were still waiting in that small room. I simply told him the truth: 'Maybe we'll have to go back.' I could see his heart sink. 

Although this was an unpleasant experience, this is a daily occurrence for Palestinians, every single day, throughout he West Bank. There are more than 500 Israeli checkpoints, roadblocks, and other barriers to movement across our land, and not a single one of us has been spared the experience that my family and I experienced yesterday. Ours was a very minor example of what my people face every day."

 This is the time of "oppression" and "war crime" they complain about, or as we in the west call it, routine security measures.

University of Toronto's anti-Israel Graduate Students Union and OISE present cinematic glorification of terrorism

The University of Toronto's Graduate Student's Union (GSU), which a few moths ago chose, in a vote where only a minuscule percentage of actual graduate students participated, to support a boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against the only liberal democracy in the middle east, supporting the anti-Semitic goals of the terrorist organization Hamas.

Evidently that support for terrorism isn't coincidental. At the obvious location of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, the faculty with radical, politicized, buffoonish courses with laughably low academic standards, the GSU's film club, Cinema Politica, is presenting two films that glorify terrorism.

Though hardly a surprise, since all Cinema Politica's films dealing with Israel reflect the simple-minded biases of those wanting the elimination of the Jewish state, with their double feature planned for this Thursday night,  Leile Khaled; Hijacker and My Daughter the Terrorist, the GSU and OISE cross the line into outright praise of terrorism and those who engage in that evil.

Documentary celebrating 50 years of James Bond to hit theaters this week

LONDON – As a new documentary shows, the real story behind the James Bond film franchise is almost as dramatic as the 007 fantasies themselves, full of twists and turns, personality clashes, heroes, villains, beautiful women and narrow escapes.

“Everything or Nothing” is released in theatres on Friday, branded Global James Bond Day to mark 50 years since the world premiere of “Dr. No,” which introduced author Ian Fleming’s suave, sophisticated secret agent to the masses.
