-RetweetStanford Will Show Turkish Blood Libel Film

Wed, Feb 14, 2007 at 11:36:05 am PST

The virulently anti-American and antisemitic Turkish film Valley of the Wolves is going to be screened at Stanford University: Stanford Continuing Studies Event: EVT 174. (Hat tip: ajf.)

And they’re promoting it like moonbat pornography.

The Action Movie You Were Not Meant to See:

Kurtlar Vadisi Irak (Valley of the Wolves: Iraq)

An elite Turkish commando squad infiltrates the Kurdish region of US-occupied Iraq. What they find is too shocking to contemplate: their supposed American allies engaged in murder, extortion, organ dealing, and more. Not in our name indeed.

This film was a spin off from a hugely popular Turkish TV series, and went on to be one of the biggest grossing films in all Turkish cinema history. It has also enjoyed great popularity in Europe and the Middle East. It was due for a limited American release in December 2006, but was quietly dropped at the last minute after a letter from the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Br’ith to the film’s US distributors objected to “the incendiary anti-Jewish and anti-American themes and characters in the film.”

As a service to the Stanford academic community at large, we offer you the chance to see this important film for yourself. Non-stop screen action, intellectual stimulation, and real political controversy in one program! This is an event not to be missed.

Screening at 1pm followed by a discussion after the film.

Cosponsored by: Middle East Collection of the Stanford University Libraries, The Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies, Stanford Continuing Studies
