Stars Boycott Toronto Film Festival Due To Israeli-Palestinian Conflict!
None are strangers to political controversy!
Jane Fonda, Eve Ensler and Danny Glover will boycott the Toronto International Film Festival due to a program honoring Tel Aviv's 100th anniversary, called City to City.
The program aims to spotlight 10 Israeli films, yet activists have signed their name to a letter aimed at festival officials claiming that Tel Aviv was built on violence, ignoring the "suffering of thousands of former residents and descendants" as countless Palestinian villages were sacrificed.
But, not everyone agrees with this stance!
Oscar-winning documentarian, Rabbi Marvin Hier believes this act is "an attack on the heart and soul of Israel."
He says:
"People who support letters like this are people who do not support a two-state solution. By calling into question the legitimacy of Tel Aviv, they are supporting a one-state solution, which means the destruction of the State of Israel. I applaud the organizers of the festival for celebrating on the 100th anniversary of Tel Aviv. If every city in the Middle East would be as culturally diverse, as open to freedom of expression as Tel Aviv is, then peace would long have come to the Middle East."
We smell backlash!

Re: mimiloe – EXCUSE ME? Who the hell are you to tell me that I don't know what i am talking about. I have many JEWISH ISRAELI family members who were forced to live in bomb shelters. I know people that have DIED from attacks on Israel. Attacks from who? From people that think Israel should be Palestine. People just as mindless and ridiculous as you are. You don't know shit about the words your saying. and did you really have the nerve to call me ignorant? CHECK A MAP HONEY, IT READS ISRAEL NOT PALESTINE.
Re: SpeakUp777 – …where do you live?
Maya8701, you display the greatest ignorance of Palestinian history, Tel Aviv was built where Arab villages once existed, what happened to the Palestinians, they were all expelled in one of the greatest acts of ethnic cleansing in 1948, it's not just I who says that but reputable Israeli historians like llan Pappe. This nonsense about it being a desert and so on reminds one of the awful lie of Golda Meir A land without a people for a people without a land, there was a flourishing agriculture in Palestine until the Zionists started evicting the Palestinians off their land just like now, they bulldoze down hundreds year old Olive Trees in the West Bank.
Dear Mario!
Mazel Tov to Jane Fonda for supporting a two-party state system, honoring the Good Palestinian People regarding the horrific acts comitted upon them by Israel.
Of course, KABBALAH KILLERS, ASHTON KUTCHER AND DEMI MOORE WILL BE AT THE TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL to again meet with Israelis to further conspire to destroy PALESTINE AND IRAN.
Let it be known — and just look at KUTCHER AND MOORE'S "history," THEY HATE ALL, . . . I REPEAT ALL MUSLIMS AND ARABS AND WANT THEM BEATEN, TORTURED, RAPED, AXED AND KILLED ON BEHALF OF ISRAEL.
Also, MADONNA, JERRY SEINFELD AND HIS "WIFEY," ARE ALSO DEVOUT TERRORISTS KABBALISTS THAT WANT ALL MUSLIMS AND ARABS DEAD
Continued success on your Fabulous Tour! Lorrie Celotto-Cellini (Dancinlor)
