Under The Marble Arch
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009

Philosopher's Corner

"With their memories of the sixties, when to be young was very heaven, they still believe that an oppositional stance in pursuit of perfection is virtuous in itself—indeed, is the prime or sole content of virtue. And it is this belief that renders them interesting to Hollander, for it makes genuine moral reflection about the nature of various governments and policies impossible. It transforms merely personal discontents into matters of supposedly great general importance."

-Theodore Dalrymple on Paul Hollander: The Only Superpower: Reflections on Strength, Weakness, and Anti-Americanism

Paradise Now

DateMonday, October 17, 2005 at 10:52AM

paradisenow.jpgParadise Now is a movie about Palestinian suicide bombers that I've seen advertised in trailers for several weeks running up to its release here in the US.  It's been released in Germany and our friends at David's Medienkritik have seen it and are appalled at the blatant anti-Semitism of the film.  What's interesting here is that the manipulation of the dubbing is subtle message that may not be conveyed  in the English version,  At the earliest opportunity Q3 and I will view the English language version and see how it plays on this side of the Atlantic. 

Not to prejudge or anything, but the trailers seemed to emphasize the humanity and desperation of people considering blowing up innocents and no car swarms were featured.  Nor any honor killings.  Nor any embezzlement of billions.  Nor any vote rigging.  Nor any children chanting hate songs to the Palestinian version of Mr. Rogers ("...won't you be my neighbor? Kaboom!").
