[Peace-discuss] Help the Palestinians. Go See This Movie

Tue Nov 9 14:56:28 CST 2010

No idea who's in charge of programs, films, etc -- my first time in the truly beautiful new Hillel bldg, got the heads up from a friend. Maybe just call the ph number and ask?

Great idea. Who is the contact? I wrote to the PJCS folks, no response yet.

Another idea for a venue would be Hillel, yes, seriously. I saw THE LEMON TREE, a very pro-Palestinian film, at Hillel a couple of weeks ago.

Herzl didn't like European Jews. He
 wanted them to learn to behave more like gentiles. But to do this he thought they needed their own country. Israel proves him right, while America proves him wrong.

 I'm not sure what to make of a fin de siecle cross between Freud and Hertzl, but Qumsiyeh posted an reference to an  intriguing video about the antisemitism of Hertzl (a self-hating Jew?).

What do you make of that?

No, Michael has retired and moved to Chicago. The currently vapid status seekers are Matti Bunzl and Bruce Rosenstock--the latter does a good job of affecting a kind of Viennese fin de siecle appearance, perhaps a cross between Freud and Herzl. It was actually more honest and refreshing (and more straightforwardly outrageous) when PJCS was being administered by someone who was honestly vile about his Zionism and his contempt for the Palestinians (and the truth). I think that this pair are smart enough to know that the jig is up, and are positioning themselves to survive intact. The fence that they are building in order to sit on is quite impressive.

Excellent. Who should I contact? Is it still Michael Shapiro?

Of course the JCS program will sponsor it. It doesn't actually require them to do anything to help the Palestinians, but they can pretend that they are on their side, hopefully without provoking an unpleasant response from the Jewish Community Relations Council.

Another approach would be to try to rent the Art for a single showing of Budrus. 

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. :)

Doubtful that The Art will show this, tho' AWARE Films might take it on (after we show STANDING ARMY, if ever). I might be up for Bob's suggestion if carpools form: 

"How about a Budrus road trip to Chicago? We could look for a showing on Saturday  afternoon the 20th, take a carload or two, go up and come back on the same day."

To me, the key phrase here is this:

"Calling for non-violence when one is not standing by the non-violent"

Because precisely what I am calling for is "standing by the

non-violent." That is why I am trying to get as many Americans as
possible to see the movie "Budrus" - a small but feasible and
important way of "standing by the non-violent" is to learn their

stories, and someone has gone to the trouble of packaging a bunch of
those stories in a particularly accessible form - a form that a
Washington Post reporter called "riveting" and "a sure-fire
crowd-pleaser," and former AIPAC staffer M.J. Rosenberg called a

"totally engaging" story of "regular people" who "take their fate into
their own hands." It seems to me that trying to take advantage of such
an opportunity is a minimum thing that one can do.

I had an exchange with the Art Theater guy. He is fairly skeptical
 but
promised he would consider it, probably not in the near term.

Meanwhile, the film is showing at Facets Multimedia in Chicago from
Nov 19 - Nov 27.

How about a Budrus road trip to Chicago? We could look for a showing

on Saturday  afternoon the 20th, take a carload or two, go up and come
back on the same day.
