Boycott

"We do not protest the individual Israeli filmmakers included in City to City, nor do we in any way suggest that Israeli films should be unwelcome at TIFF." Oh, no. I do protest the individual Israeli filmmakers included in City to City, and I do suggest that Israeli films should be unwelcome at TIFF. By the way, I must confess that I was shocked that Jane Fonda signed this statement. But Fonda could be like some members of Congress (or Jimmy Carter) who discover the justice of the Palestinian cause in their late seventies and when they are no more politically relevant or effective, and after decades of damage that they do.
