Filmmakers weigh in on Toronto Israel flap
TORONTO -- Now it's getting personal. Canadian filmmaker John Greyson's decision to pull his short film from the Toronto International Film Festival has provoked a growing feud among Canadian filmmakers.NYT: US Rebukes Israel Over Settlement Plan
Veteran Canadian documentary maker Simcha Jacobovici, who was born in Israel, said Greyson should test his sympathy for the Palestinians by screening his short film about the 2008 Sarajevo Queer Festival in Tel Aviv and on the West Bank. "He will be invited to screen the film at the local (Tel Aviv) cinematheque. He can then walk around with the same sign down the streets of Palestinian Ramallah. He should document the experience on video and then enter it into next year's TIFF -- posthumously," Jacobovici said.
Veteran Canadian film producer Robert Lantos ("Sunshine," "Being Julia") was equally dismissive Thursday of Greyson's protest as he defended the Toronto festival's decision to spotlight Tel Aviv and Israeli filmmakers. "I have no doubt that both the festival and its patrons will survive John Greyson's boycott and will do just fine without seeing his short documentary, 'Covered,' " he said. Lantos argued that the Toronto festival has not known "political censorship" since Ontario film censors in 1978 attempted to cut scenes from his opening night film "In Praise of Older Women."
"Since then, the (Toronto) festival has been free from the pressure of those whose fascist agenda is to impose their views on others, stifle the voices they don't like and interfere with people's right to see whatever they wish and make up their own minds. Until now," he argued.
Lantos pointed to the irony of Greyson's gay-friendly film possibly being freely screened in Israel, a country the Canadian filmmaker condemned. "Then again, perhaps he (Greyson) is just an opportunist eagerly leaping on the 'Israel apartheid' bandwagon in order to garner more attention for his film than it would have ever received had it played at the festival," the veteran producer added.
Jacobovici added that he won't be able to attend the Toronto festival as he'll be in Israel, and invited Greyson to join him for a tour. "Of course Israel, like Canada, is not a perfect society. But the question is, why does my fellow Canadian documentarian choose to so publicly align himself with forces of apartheid, totalitarianism and intolerance against the only democracy in the area?" he questioned.

President al-Assad clarified that there was a strong desire in the countries and peoples of Latin America to President al-Assad clarified that there was a strong desire in the countries and peoples of Latin America to develop strong relations with the Arab world. On the peace process, the President said "I explained to President Chavez our stance regarding the peace process.. the stances of Venezuela and Latin America are generally not far from our stances.. all of us know President Chavez stances… every Arab citizen follows Venezuela stances regarding the Palestinian issue, the Golan, the Israeli aggression on Lebanon in 2006 and on Gaza last December.
The President underlined that the Syrian stance which is committed to peace means the full restoration of the land to the June 4th, 1967 line. "For us, all Israeli governments are similar...since 1991 untill today nothing serious has been achieved in the peace process, so the difference among them is in tactics and appeqarcne, but the essence is one....and the Israeli opinion polls assert that the Israelis in general are not ready yet for peace since they don't want to return the land completely" to thier owners, " President al-Assad said. his Excelelncy pointed out "in general, Israel is not prepared neither in the present time nor in the forseable future to achieve peace.'
President al-Assad said, "Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip is a genocide committed against all Palestinians with no exception. I discussed with President Chavez how to take a move on the international level to try to urge part of the world, at least, to lift this unjust siege imposed on the Palestinian people." President al-Assad added, "We did not talk about the international community because the term 'international community' today implies a limited number of big powers which want and seek to dominate the world and the international politics and economy. We rather talked about an international movement including the countries that may take a just attitude in this regard."
President al-Assad made clear "When we talk about the international community in the prevailing meaning, it implies domination on the international organizations. Syria and Venezuela call for reforming these organizations in order to move from the stage of international chaos to the international order stage." President al-Assad went on to say that he briefed President Chavez on last year's indirect negotiations between Syria and Israel, adding that Syria showed continued interest in the peace but Israel proved once again that it was not serious about the peace process.

A number of Palestinians and Lebanese Shi'ites have been forced to leave the United Arab Emirates in recent months, Palestinian and Lebanese officials said on Friday. Hussam Ahmed, head of the Refugee Affairs Department in the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by the Islamist group Hamas, said hundreds of Palestinians had been dismissed from their jobs in the UAE for security reasons. "(This is) an operation of mass displacement of Palestinians in the UAE, especially those of Gaza origins, without known reasons other than security pretexts," he said in a statement issued in Gaza on Thursday, citing the UAE town of al-Ain.Evolution of Global Islam
September 11 attack, a watershed in deciding the co-evolution of various civilizations, can be interpreted as the biggest plea by radical Muslims to eliminate liberals from Islam. The American reaction in the form of attack on al-Qaeda-Taliban combine in Afghanistan and Pakistan and later invasion of Iraq is just what hardliners wanted. The radicals, by creating stakes for the US, have created stakes for themselves. The radicals are directing Islam towards the Islam of early era, while the Americans are cashing it by creating space for themselves in not-yet inflated Islamic world.Persecution of Christians in Pakistan
The Radicalization is not an ex nihilo creation, coming out of nothing. It is conscious and intrinsic part of Islamic culture. It can not be termed as flaw of distribution, either. The on going fighting among the maximally un-equals in Afghanistan and Pakistan is imperative for the spread of radical Islam. The fact is that Pentagon and allied forces can not be defeated, but the purity of Islam would win. The hard line Islam wants a bigger space and will definitely come into equilibriums with the liberal ideologies. The radicalization of Islam is a natural adjustment towards the West dominated GATT and an inevitability, in the light of the beginning of the end of oil. The matter-of-fact is that it is Islam, the purest one, which would save the Muslims in not-so-welcome, post-oil era.

"Moderate" Iranian Ayatollah: "time to export the revolution"
Iran's late revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini coined the phrase "exporting the revolution." Khomeini, who died in 1989, remains a figure much revered by all political groups, but such language is rarely used by Iran's present-day leaders.Oil India, Partners May Invest $5 Billion in Iran Gas Block
"In our Islamic society, if we want to hurt people's prestige in our remarks ... then it would lead to a fire which hurts everyone," Kashani told Friday prayer worshippers in Tehran, in a clear reference to domestic political feuding. "It is now the time to export the revolution ... it is not the time to treat each other like this," he said in a sermon broadcast live on state radio. "Such remarks cause damage to the Islamic society and prevent the export of the revolution."
Kashani is seen as a moderate cleric who rarely makes politically controversial remarks.

Putin involved 1999 bombings, GQ bans article in Russia
Waiting for PutinIn the new September issue of GQ magazine, war journalist Scott Anderson exposes the truth that former President and current Prime Minister of Russia was involved in the 1999 apartment bombings.In September 1999, Chechan separatists committed heinous terrorist attacks against the Russian Federation. Hundreds of people were killed; terrorists took over a school in Beslan and more than 100 people died in a Moscow theater. Putin took over for Boris Yeltsin and immediately began a crackdown against the terrorists and a second war was started against Chechnya. Scott Anderson, and several others from before, claims that Vladimir Putin was involved in the attacks or had prior knowledge beforehand.
The aerodrome was so secretive that for years the U.S. intelligence community (usually viewing the facility from several miles up via satellite imagery) did not even know its real name. They referred to it as "Ramenskoye," the name of one of the villages that adjoin the mammoth site. The USSR is gone, but LII today is still surrounded by more barbed wire, minefields, and guard patrols than a World War II concentration camp. And this forbidding exterior was only the opening act this year in a heavily stage-managed play that left the air show attendees waiting for Putin--and simultaneously hoping he would leave MAKS as soon as possible so we could all get back to work.Russia, China, Brazil endorse India's stand on protectionism

He must not but he is and he will.
Reports in the Polish media strongly suggest that the Obama Administration is about to abandon its plans for "third site" missile defense installations in Poland and the Czech Republic. Abandoning the third site would represent a huge turnaround in American strategic thinking on a global missile defense system and a massive betrayal of two key U.S. allies in Eastern and Central Europe. Such a move would also significantly weaken America's ability to combat the growing threat posed by Iran's ballistic missile program and would hand a major propaganda victory to Moscow.US sees progress on nuclear arms deal with Russia

The Truth about Labor Day
The philosophical conflict embodied in Labor Day dates to the earliest days of the nation’s history. In 1625, just five years after the first Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, a rival settlement called Merry Mount was founded at the site of present-day Quincy. The inhabitants of Merry Mount shunned Puritanical injunctions and embraced the pleasures of the flesh. They drank great amounts of whiskey and beer and shamelessly fornicated.
At the beginning of each May they erected a maypole, a pagan invention that had become the symbol of fun in villages across England, and danced around it with libidinal abandon.Merry Mount’s population of hedonists grew faster than the godly brethren of the Puritan settlements, threatening to create a new land that looked less like the Puritans’ vision of a pure society and more like their version of hell. So in 1628 the elders in nearby Plymouth Colony sent Captain Myles Standish and a force of men armed with muskets and swords to wipe their competitors from the earth. The Puritan army quickly conquered Merry Mount, arrested its leaders, and chopped down the maypole.

"We've spent millions of taxpayer dollars to come up with this plan, and now we have a potential bridge and commercial development," he said.

EnergySolutions Inc. said Friday it is in settlement talks with Utah aimed at getting the state to drop its objections to importing foreign nuclear waste for disposal in the state. The company wants to import as much as 20,000 tons of low-level radioactive waste from Italy through the ports of Charleston, S.C., or New Orleans. After processing in Tennessee, about 1,600 tons would be disposed of in the desert about 70 miles west of Salt Lake City.Republican Rep Sez: Feds should support Tennessee uranium-enrichment project
If approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, it would be the largest amount of radioactive waste ever imported into the country. "We believe that it is in the best interest of the state, the citizens of Utah and EnergySolutions to settle this matter and we hope the state considers this proposal," EnergySolutions spokesman Mark Walker wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press."Since this issue is still before the court and in settlement discussions it would be inappropriate to comment further." he wrote.
