It is unbelievable that at a Jewish Film Festival an anti-Israel documentary called "Carry" is shown... This is outrageous, moreso is the 'Jewish' response here in San Francisco... More Jews standing up to dishonor Israel and Jews around the world.
I hope I get out of this bay area before the area is destroyed by Hashem. I have lost hope that righteous people actually live in the bay area.... I must have deluded myself...
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/07/25/BAHE18UIR6.DTLThe San Francisco Jewish Film Festival has come under siege after deciding to show a documentary about Rachel Corrie, a Washington state 23-year-old killed in 2003 while trying to prevent an Israeli military bulldozer from demolishing a Palestinian's home.
Whether Corrie naively put herself in harm's way in support of terrorists or was intentionally killed by the Israeli military is the nexus of the controversy.
Compounding the issue, festival organizers invited Corrie's mother, Cindy, to speak after today's showing at the Castro Theatre of the film "Rachel." It is one of 71 films at this year's festival, which includes two films profiling kidnapped Israeli soldiers.
The reaction has been outrage. The festival board's president stepped down from her role, opening-night ceremonies were boycotted by some, and Israel Consul General Akiva Tor said it was a "big mistake to invite Mrs. Corrie."
At the core of the debate are questions about how broadly Jews can discuss Israel within their own community - and how Jews represent Israel to the broader world. It is also overlaid with accusations of the "new anti-Semitism," prejudice that is disguised as particular criticisms of Israel, the only Jewish state.

This is gross, just gross.... They should never show such arab propaganda at a Jewish film festival...
Corrie was not innocent... She deserved what happened to her...
