<DIV>Would anyone be interested in pursuing this? Perhaps we can get the Committee on Jewish Culture and Society to co-sponsor. It is, after all, an Israeli film. :)</DIV>

<DIV>To me, the key phrase here is this:<BR><BR>"Calling for non-violence when one is not standing by the non-violent"<BR><BR>Because precisely what I am calling for is "standing by the<BR>non-violent." That is why I am trying to get as many Americans as<BR>possible to see the movie "Budrus" - a small but feasible and<BR>important way of "standing by the non-violent" is to learn their<BR>stories, and someone has gone to the trouble of packaging a bunch of<BR>those stories in a particularly accessible form - a form that a<BR>Washington Post reporter called "riveting" and "a sure-fire<BR>crowd-pleaser," and former AIPAC staffer M.J.
