What is it with academia these days? Bleeding heart liberal is one thing, but to show a film as a documentary which is totally fabricated from a place that does not exist? Of course people viewed that idiotic Fahrenheit as a documentary also.

Maybe my kid will become a plumber instead. It's starting to seem like a higher calling.

Time to e-mail the Alumni- - - The Uni's hate when the Alumni gets mad enough to stop sending in the dough...

Sickening sh-t.

Why am I not surprised?

Is this an Iowahawk production?

If people could be shown the very real connection between the Palestinian philosophy and right-wing politics, they might be scared off from showing films like this.

I read recently that the director admitted under oath he fabricated portions of this film. Isn't there a way we can alert the University to this travesty?

It's an admitted lie.

Academia eats lying propaganda like cornflakes.

It's their stock in trade.

Everyone has a religion, whether thsy call it religion or not. We are programmed to belive in something, and that belief is very difficult to eradicate once the belief system has taken hold. So choose wisely.

Can't wait for "Fallujah, Fallujah".

Reading the news release announcing the films - I see contact info for the people responsible for selecting the Arab films.

I wonder what the storage capacity of their mailboxes might be.....hmmmm....

Suggests another addition to the proposed academic bill of rights:

Any student knowingly subjected to false material which was presented as factual with faculty approval shall be given a cash amount equal to a full year's tuition, boarding and books.

Somehow I don't see unis leaping at an idea like this, which shows just how hell-bent they are on indoctrinating students with lies. Frightening.

Arab and French

This is pretty close to being a tautology nowadays.

as a mid 30's aged student at Purdue I had a lot of fun with my differing views of those whom I paid enormous fees to learn from. My work I turned in and my test scores should have mantained a 3.0 or better but I took some abuse for my attitude I'm sure. But I think some of these idiot savants believe there really is a country called "Frantastan". ...Guess you had to see an old b&w show called I love Lucy.

Norwegian kafir: where did you see it?

Just FYI, LGF is way out in front in its category in the Isreally Cool Blog Awards. So no need to keep voting for LGF. However, Jewschool - an extremely leftist blog - is winning in best overall blog category. (I am not nominated opposite him so I have no personal interest in this, except that I'd hate to see a leftist Jewish blog win the top award.)

You can vote once a day until Sunday.

If you want to support LGF-friendly blogs, Meryl Yourish, Roger Simon, and I (Kesher Talk) are all nominated in other categories.

Passing by "Air America" and some moonbat was ranting about a story on a female soldier wiping menstrual blood on the face of a saudi islamist being held by the US in Iraq.

This host was outraged! "where do we get these women?"

If the dumb c**t actually READ the AP story, she'd have read the "menstrual blood" was actually - RED INK.

And since menstrual blood has the same effect to an Islamist as garlic to Dracula, the saudi prisoner freaked out! (over ink)

It was classic Psy-Ops.

So what's the freaking problem?

(I wonder how that Air America c**t feels about the real blood let from Nick Berg's head?)

It's time for a bunch of Hawkeyes to get off their tractors and kick some serious academaweanie butt!

Iowa conservative? Hardly - can you say: Tom Daschle? Yeah - I know he was beat this time around, but how did he get there in the first place? Wait - I remember now: he campaigned as a moderate/conservative (sucking up with Bush in photo ops and quoting Reagan) all the while throwing his Senate votes with Teddy and Co.

BTW - nearly any public university campus nowadays can be described as nothing more than 10 square miles surrounded by reality.

Islam Gains Toehold in Mexico's Zapatista Country.

This looks like some kind of oddball Islamo-hippy cult but, in contrast to such cults as the as the Moonies or the Democrats, allegiance to this one can be expected to bring a continuous flow of arms, money, trained terrorists, money, international recognition and, lest we forget, money.
With Islamo-fascist resources added to those of the established Zapatista guerrilla movement, the potential for widely expanded violence is very high.
In particular, the Zapatistas have an experienced and active support network among the usual suspects in this country (campus lefties, lib churches, ANSWER, etc.).
This is already cross-linked with the Islamic fifth column and would provide a very potent terror/subversion network once the two are fully integrated.

The scarriest part of the college education is the Third Reich mentallity that I'm right and everyone else is wrong attitude of college teachers, and business is buying into hiring kids from this atmosphere. With more liberal education and more jobs going overseas is there a remote possibility of a connection? Perhaps too many US tax payers dollars are going towards hiring propagandists hiding behind educators clothes to teach in colleges. Perhaps too many US tax dollars are paid to Universities to meet a quota of foriegn nationals attnding said universities, perhaps that is why we have to take out second and third mortgages to send our kids to a college that should look after US citizens first then worry about third world wannabe nuclear physists and bomb makers.

Subject: Proseminar on Arab Cinema - UI As Willful Terrorist Mouthpiece

Sir:

As a proud alum of UI's College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, I was digusted to hear that my alma mater would screen "Jenin Jenin" during its "Proseminar on Arab Cinema". Does it not bother you that the filmmaker has admitted that the "documentary" is a LIE?

This film was funded by terrorists! It is a propaganda piece and UI is doing their bidding by disseminating the disgusting falsehoods shown in this film as reality. "Artistic license" was used to construct fictitious footage of Israeli's running over Palestinian children for this "documentary". Does this not outrage you? Do you not question the motives behind this "documentary" as evil?

I was also distressed to see that while the press release dated 1-26-05 mentions sponsors for the French series, there is no sponsor mentioned for the Arab film series. I can only assume that the University of Iowa is sponsoring this unfortunate event and I respectfully request that the University to pull this purposely malicious and inciteful film from the schedule immediately.

Pierre Rehov

I saw 2 of his films @ Yeshiva University about 2
weeks ago. I purchased "The Road to Jenin" on
the way out for $20.

The academic elite would never invite this man on their
campus. He'd shatter all their romanticism for these
animals.

Recall the muslim terrorists admitting on television they were committing war crimes:

1) Using civilians as human shields
2) Using noncombatants (women and children) as combatants
3) Refusing to allow civilians to leave a combat area
4) Engaging in combat from civilian homes

From the Middle East Media Research Institute:

The Islamic Jihad commander in the Jenin refugee camp, Abu Jandal, was interviewed several times by Al-Jazeera during the fighting. In one conversation, Abu Jandal said:

"Believe me, there are children stationed in the houses with explosive belts at their sides... Today, one of the children came to me with his school bag. I asked him what he wanted, and he replied, 'Instead of books, I want an explosive device, in order to attack...'"

Sheikh Abu Al-Hija also stated:

"Some of the youths stood fast, and filled their school bags with explosive devices."

Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reported that in Jenin, a Palestinian woman named Ilham 'Ali Dasouqi had blown herself up among Israeli soldiers, killing two and wounding six.

The Islamic Jihad announced that its commander in Jenin, Muhammad Tawalbeh, had prevented civilians from leaving the camp. The Islamic Jihad website announced that Tawalbeh died in his booby-trapped home when he blew it up on the Israeli soldiers inside it on April 6. The announcement went on to say that Tawalbeh "had thwarted all attempts by the occupation to evacuate the camp residents to make it easier for the Israelis to destroy [the camp] on the heads of the fighters."

With the announcement of Teddy's speech against the WOT, I'm smelling a rat. The left is organizing to derail W and the WOT. They don't care, and will try and defeat our country if it means a win for the dems...

So, here's my point. Can you host a "discussion points" thread daily or weekly? The intent being that LGFers could pool intelligence with the purpose being to write letters to editors, etc. at local papers, refuting the nonsense that is spewed. I mean, aren't there lizards everywhere?

Only problem I see, is that most posters are smarter than me, and I'd have to plaigarize (sp?) them to write an intelligent letter to the editor...

Sorry, I meant to add "Lizardoid Master" after Charles...

Do they spend their valuable tim searching for the most delusional and idiotic crap they can find to foist on uni kids? Damn!

It is indeed sad and sickening that the seeking of truth has been abandoned by the academic left, because everyone of these academics must know this film is a fraud and the fact they still show it, is testimony to the moral corruptness that has inveaded academia , thank to the billions of anti US/Israeli Saudi propaganda.

Things may seem to be moving too slowly for us who understand the danger. But if you think about it, it's just 3 and a half years since 9/11, and now almost half of all Americans want restrictions on the liberties of Muslims. 81% of all Dutch people are sceptical of Muslims, and less than three years ago you couldn't say anything against Islam. I see the same trend even in my little country. The discussion boards I visit are brimming with anti-Islamic sentiments that would have been deleted two years ago. The leftist-dominated media are holding back, though. We'll win in the end, partly with the help of the Internet, but it will be a bloody struggle.

OT - From Citizen Smash - Condoleeza Rice Address Her Troops

September 11, 2001, was a defining moment for our nation and the world. Under the vision and leadership of President Bush, our nation has risen to meet the challenges of our time; fighting tyranny and terror, and securing the blessings of freedom and prosperity for a new generation. The work that America and our allies have undertaken, and the sacrifices we have made, have been difficult. And necessary. And right. Now is the time to build on these achievements-to make the world safer, and to make the world more free. We must use American diplomacy to help create a balance of power in the world that favors freedom. And the time for diplomacy is now.

In these momentous times, American diplomacy has three great tasks. We will unite the community of democracies in building an international system that is based on our shared values and the rule of law. We will strengthen the community of democracies to fight the threats to our common security and alleviate the hopelessness that feeds terror. And we will spread freedom and democracy throughout the world. That is the mission that President Bush has set for you and me, and the great mission of American diplomacy today.

As we begin our work together, President Bush and I will expect great things from each of you in the service of your country and of a great cause. More than ever, you will be active in spreading democracy, fighting terror, reducing poverty, and helping to protect the American homeland.

Think about the section in bold as compared to the rant in the most recent audiotape supposedly by Zarqawri where he declares war against Democracy, and states that Democracy and Islam are not compatible - and the lack of real comment from the left.

Think about the hypocrisy of the left, in particular as academia and MSM attack these comments from SecState Rice.

How are they to do that without an adequate presentation of an opposing view, especially when the university officially sponsors one side, and only one side?

Who are these people who know that it's a hoax? Is there any evidence that they include the likely audience? If so, what percentage of that audience knows that it is a hoax and how did you establish this? Will there be any overt declaration from IU that the film is a hoax?

Arab movies are to movies what Arab paintings are to paintings or Arab novels are to literature: THE PITS!

A visitor to the Middle East explained to me that women were forbidden to cook during their periods. One Muslim wife told her that this law was very useful. She disliked her inlaws and claimed she was having a period whenever they visited as an excuse to avoid making dinner for them

After many years I finally got to hear Said speak in a recorded lecture, on the very Left wing Australian Broadcasting Corp radio.

I was ready for a great intellectual, interesting insight, and to learn from a great thinker of our time.

I was amazed, simply aghast at the appauling collection of conspiracy theories, half thruths, and nursery ryme politics offered up in his appauling lecture.

Anyone with a midgen of knowledge obout world politics, Left or Right, would not take this idiot seriously.

Basically his speach can be summed up thus: Its all the White man's fault.

Colonialism = White colonialism. Yellow/Black/Arab colonialism didn't exist. Racism = White racism. War = White war. You get the picture.

I was left stunned. Such an idiot, with such a simplistic, childish, idiotic view of world politics, how on earth could he be lauded by Universities.

He actually claimed that Israel and Palestine should be one country, and that we should rule in harmony with Hammas and the PA.

Trully a great idiot of our time.

Muhammed Bakri is from Israel. He has already recanted (=made excuses for) the lies and disinformation in the film probably because of a class action suit being brought against him by IDF soldiers who Bakri "used" (=abused) for his malicious propaganda.

"He actually claimed that Israel and Palestine should be one country, and that we should rule in harmony with Hammas and the PA."

There is no such place as Palestine, and never will be. There is ONLY Israel, and the land we allow "palestinians" to live on......for now.

'Hate fest' at school riles Jews

By JASON BOTCHFORD, TORONTO SUN


THE UNIVERSITY of Toronto is refusing to stop an event Jewish community leaders are calling a "hate fest." Just the title of the event, "Israeli Apartheid Week," has members of the Jewish community fuming and fearful it will help usher in a "new era of anti-Semitism."

The university is allowing the event, organized by the Arab Students Collective, to be held on its campus beginning Monday.

The list of topics include the apartheid wall, labour apartheid in Israel, and solidarity with workers under apartheid. The topics and speakers have incensed the Jewish community who say they are one-sided.

'BUILDING BLOCK'

"This amounts to a group of people gathering on a street corner holding up signs that say 'honk if you hate,' " said Anita Bromberg, human rights co-ordinator for B'Nai Brith. "This isn't something that stays on campus. This amounts to a hate fest and it's a building block for a new era of anti-Semitism that is only going to escalate."

David Farrar, the university's deputy provost, said the school, which is not sponsoring the event, is proud to host events that take on controversial issues.

"The very fact the Arab Student Coalition exists speaks to the central value of freedom of speech," he said. "We're very proud of our capacity for our students to hold events that discuss difficult and painful topics."

Bromberg said the school just doesn't get it. "By using the facility there's certainly an endorsement by the university that's being perceived by the community that this tone is acceptable."

More insanity from our nation's universities, this time from the U. of Colorado. Tenured professor Ward Churchill likened the WTC victims of 9/11 to Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichman!

In a paper called "Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens," Churchill wrote: "If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I'd really be interested in hearing about it."

Churchill said Eichmann was a technocrat who "crunched numbers" and made the trains that carried Jews to death camps run on time. And likewise, he said Thursday, those in the Trade Center were technocrats whose work was just as deadly.

The guy refuses to recant and is scheduled to speak at Hamilton College in NY next week.

Regardless of whether 'Palestine' exists, Jenin Jenin is an Israeli film. Bakri is an Israeli citizen.

...still awaiting response from UI dean and president...

"Regardless of whether 'Palestine' exists, Jenin Jenin is an Israeli film. Bakri is an Israeli citizen."

"Jenin Jenin" is not an Israeli film. It was made by a muslim arab swine who lives in Israel. Who cares if he is an Israeli citizen? If your point is that all Israelis are good, then let me remind you that the dirtbag that assassinated Rabin was a Jew.

yep...still waiting for a response from my alma mater...

Jenin Jenin Film-Maker Admits Fraud
[Link: www.middleeastinfo.org...]

Later investigations by human rights NGOs revealed -- even to the UN's satisfaction -- that there had been no massacre or wanton destruction in Jenin and that the Palestinain claims were baseless.

That, however, did not stop Palestinian filmmaker Muhammad Bakri from recycling the same mendacious claims and similar ones in his Jenin, Jenin -- a propaganda film that so enraged Israeli soldiers who were involved in the fighting that five of them, who are shown in still footage in the film, are now suing Bakre for libel. A film by Pierre Rehov, The Road to Jenin, also challenges Bakri's allegations and has been cited in the lawsuit.

... WorldNetDaily.com.. now reports evidence that Bakri's film was not just distorted in the heat of ideological conviction, but apparently was deliberately concocted to deceive. The online magazine has acquired a deposition from las week in which Muhammad Bakri admits to "falsifying scenes, using incaccurate information and obtaining financing for the project from the Palestinian Authority."

* Whereas Jenin, Jenin charges IDF troops with randomly killing and bombing civilians including women, children, and the handicapped, mutilating bodies, and reducing the whole refugee camp to rubble, Bakri states in the deposition that he "believed" certain witnesses who made such claims but did not check the information they gave him.

*Whereas a scene in the film implies that Israeli soldiers ran over civilians, Bakri admits in the deposition to devising this footage as an act of "artistic choice".

*Whereas the core of the Palestinian accusations against Israel, including Bakri's, is that it killed indiscriminately in Jenin, when asked if he actually believed this was true, Bakri said "no."
