When people recently complained about Major League Baseball’s opening day landing, in some major cities, on Good Friday and Passover, I thought it was ridiculous. That’s part of the price of faith–sacrifice. Some things are going to be harder, other things you’ll have to miss out on, and their importance is usually minor. That’s what my parents taught me as a kid, in rearing me as a Sabbath-observant, religious Jew. If you miss opening day, your life will still go on.
In Detroit, liberal Rabbi David A. Nelson had the gall to complain about Detroit Tigers’ opening day falling on Passover. But this is the same rabbi who has no problem hanging out with extremist, anti-Semitic, pro-HAMAS/Hezbollah imam Hassan Qazwini–an imam whom all other Detroit Rabbis, no matter how liberal, have finally shunned–and going to his mosque banquet. Whine about Tigers’ opening day. Kiss ass to Hezbollah agent Qazwini, who’s here on behalf the Iranian government. Priorities.
But, in New York, the owner of the NFL’s Jets has a legitimate beef. Two Jets games were scheduled by the League on Yom Kippur and Rosh HaShanah, the two most important and most observed Jewish holidays of the year. Many Jets fans are Jewish and owner Woody Johnson is worried he’ll lose money, have low attendance, or both. That’s a likely outcome. Here is a funny video of one of the Jets players expressing his anger over this. “Bubbie” is Yiddish for grandmother. “Meshugah” means crazy.

Earlier today you read my review of “State of Play,” a propaganda-laden “thriller,” starring dough-boy Ben Affleck, which was a complete mess. Here are the reviews of most of the other new releases I didn’t get a chance to post reviews for earlier.
* “17 Again“: This movie is all the rage for tweens and teens because it stars their heartthrob, Zac Efron. The plot has been done before in reverse in “Big,” and done similarly in “13 Going on 30,” “Freaky Friday,” and a gazillion other movies.
Overall, though very predictable, it’s a positive movie and good for teens and would be great viewing for Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, and her ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston. In this movie, the pregnant teen and her baby daddy get married and make a life. And in the end, the father becomes a great dad and realizes the important things in life. Plus, there’s plenty of humor in it.
But I was troubled at some of the mature subject matter for a tween-appealing movie. Sex and condoms are discussed at length, and the issue of teen pregnancy is central. Some of the situations are suggestively incestual as a daughter comes on to the boy who is, unbeknownst to her, her father. Characters are shown in bed, coming on to each other, and high school kids call each other “douche” and “bitch” and told that they “have a small weiner.” Not that they don’t say those things in high school. I’m sure they say things far worse. But high schoolers are not the primary audience for this and not Zach Efron’s fan base. They’re far younger.
Matthew Perry plays a failed salesman in his late thirties, who wishes he could live his high school days over again. He blew a chance at a college basketball scholarship and never went to college, so that he could marry his pregnant girlfriend. And he regrets it. They’re in the middle of a divorce, and his kids aren’t close to him.
Soon, he finds himself 17 again and looks like Zach Efron. He discovers that his daughter is dating the school jock/bully and is planning to sleep with him and give up her college opportunity at Georgetown to be with him. His son, who he thinks is on the school basketball team, is actually not on the team but bullied by them and his daughter’s boyfriend. He goes to high school with them to be the parent to them that his kids won’t allow him to be as himself, but are very open to, when it’s in the form of a cool 17-year-old peer. While doing all of this Efron stays at the home of his very wealthy and very geeky computer programmer friend, whose house looks like a museum of outer space kitsch.
Like I said, not a bad movie and it has very positive messages (like waiting to have sex and a loving father who wants to lead his family but isn’t given the chance until he becomes a kid), but not as clean of a movie as I expected for an audience this young. TWO REAGANS
* “Observe & Report“: This is a low-class, obscene, dark, stupid rip-off of the charming, far superior “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” (read my review). If the F-word is funny to you, then you’ll love this because it’s every other word. And if you like watching extended, unfunny scenes of a fat naked guy running with his penis bobbing up and down, this is your flick. For everyone else, even the tiniest modicum of class and taste should keep you away from this.
Seth Rogen plays a fat, self-important but incompetent mall cop. He’s trying to find out who is stealing from the mall and stopping the mall flasher. The flasher thing and a no-talent cast is the only thing different from “Paul Blart.” When will the undue obsession with this talentless, unattractive hack, Rogen, end? Not soon enough. This movie is complete garbage. Skip it all all cost. Two hours of valuable life wasted I’ll never get back. FOUR MARXES
* “The Mysteries of Pittsburgh“: The son of a mobster spends a college summer working at a bookstore and having sex with his manager. Soon he falls in love with an attractive blonde (Sienna Miller) and her mob hitman boyfriend (Peter Sarsgard)–who is sent to assassinate him–and sleeps with both of them, literally. Then, the hitman commits suicide. The end. Who the heck greenlights this crap? Disgusting, stupid, pointless, and a complete waste of time. Extremely skipworthy, complete trash. FOUR MARXES

Just a follow-up to the story I broke about how Whole Foods sells products it knows are funding scholarships to HAMAS-controlled Terrorist U a/k/a An-Najah University and other such schools of hatred.
Readers are continuing to get the same BS response from Whole Foods, which stands by its decision to sell these products, citing openly anti-Israel groups which hosted Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in America, as its authority.
I used to be a frequent Whole Foods customer. But no more. I am finished with them over this. Until things change, I will shop for natural foods at my local “Plum” Market and “Papa Joe’s” Markets (which are much better than Whole Foods, anyway).
In the meantime, my friend, Shawarma Mayor–a highly recommended site, with great stuff (I read him frequently and so should you)–found this video of the An-Najah mocking the victims of the Sbarro Pizza homicide bombing in Jerusalem, where 15 innocent people were murdered and countless others seriously maimed. Watch how they step on the American flag to enter the “exhibit” and how they have pictures of their heroes, including Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, adorning their walls. When you shop at Whole Foods, you fund this:

[Note: Because of Passover, I did not see “17 Again” and “Sin Nombre,” but will try to post reviews of those and another film I did see, “Mysteries of Pittsburgh,” later today.]
“Congressman Ben Affleck.” It’s enough to make you sick. It’s also hard to see pictures of Affleck in military fatigues and talk of his military service in the First Gulf War. As if.
But in “State of Play,” the smug, pasty-faced, chubby-cheeked, one-time paramour of J-Lo plays exactly the kind of Congressman he’d be in real life: an extremely liberal, arrogant, moralizing hypocrite who cheats on his wife (Mrs. Jeff Spicoli a/k/a Robin Wright Penn) and is far worse than the Blackwater-like outfit he claims to be upset about. The only great part of “Congressman Ben Affleck” in this movie is when he starts crying on national TV and real men on the street notice with disdain. Affleck’s sensitive man tears sure beat his over melodramatic screaming and whining, which got so bad I thought I was watching a chick flick.
But don’t let my description of Congressman Affleck’s impersonation of an elected official/liberal hypocrite fool you. This movie is a hit-piece on Blackwater, blogs, and News Corp (which owns FOX News, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and assorted other media outlets around the globe). The propaganda and smug preaching and moralizing against these parties is so heavy in this movie, the film tumbles under its weight into a tangled mess. It’s a terribly substandard semi-ripoff of the far superior “Enemy of the State,” with a dash of “All of the President’s Men” thrown in the jumble.
Given that the U.S. government canceled its contracts with Blackwater, and that the liberal left is now in power in the corridors of Washington and failing miserably, this movies seems dated and a matter of piling on over an era that was better and is over. The movie’s attacks on blogs in favor of newsprint that will leave you with “smudged hands” is also passe, given that many newspapers have gone out of business and those that survived are mostly alive online.
This movie might have gone over better had it appeared in theaters a year or two ago, when its statements were still the weak arguments of the left. Now, it’s just yesterday’s trash and birdcage liner.
Plus, you know a movie is probably a stinker when media whores Chris Matthews and Lou Dobbs invade your escapism by their appearances on the big screen. They’ll do any movie. And any movie that asks them, ain’t all that.
Affleck is a Congressman holding hearings to investigation Pointcorp–this movie’s fictional name for Blackwater (now known as “Xe”), the private company with which our government had contracts to protect public officials in Iraq and to do other security duties not performed by and/or in conjunction with our soldiers. Blackwater, to its credit, never lost a single person it was protecting. It never failed in its security obligations. But it’s been unfairly vilified because how dare private enterprise–employing many retired military vets looking for extra money–actually shoot violent Iraqis out to kill them. And how dare Blackwater’s owner, Erik Prince (also lampooned in “State of Play”), actually make money and get compensated for his company’s success.
Affleck lectures us on “Pointcorp”/Blackwater’s alleged view of its military vet contractors:
Innocent civilians are disposable lives and collateral damage.
But did Blackwater hire women to sleep with Congressmen and spy on them? Did it possibly hire hitmen to snuff out its Congressional critics’ mistresses when they refuse to continue to be double agents?
Well, despite absolutely no evidence that it ever did either, Blackwater, er . . . “Pointcorp,” perpetrates at least the former and perhaps the latter in this movie.
Congressman Affleck is cheating on his wife with his chief researcher in his hearings against Blackwater/”Pointcorp.” At the beginning of the movie, she has a mysterious fatal accident on the Washington subway on her way to work. The night before a pizza delivery man and another guy are also shot, one of them fatally. Are the two murders connected?
It appears that they are. And it also appears that this is the work of the evil Pointcorp, attempting to frame and blackmail its main Congressional critic.
Soon we learn that Pointcorp wants to take over 1/3 of the federal government by providing a standing army and taking over and privatizing the Department of Homeland Security.
Not that Blackwater ever tried to do that, but being something of an expert and critic on that bloated, incompetent agency, I ask: And if Blackwater replaced the Department of Homeland Security, this would be a bad thing because . . . ? PUH-LEEZE. If Blackwater ran ICE, illegal aliens would be eradicated from America. If Blackwater took over terrorism investigations and border security, America would be batting 1,000. And the Islamic terrorists who were afraid of Blackwater in Iraq would be afraid here. Yup, what a “horrible” prospect. I guarantee Blackwater wouldn’t waste DHS money and resources putting out “White Papers” about the “threat of right wingers.”
All of this is fleshed out by grizzled newspaper journalist Russell Crowe. He works for a newspaper, The Washington Globe, which has just been bought by “Media Corp” (the movie’s obvious take on Rupert Murdoch’s “New Corp”). Media Corp isn’t interested in real, substantiated journalism, but sensational stories that sell papers. Crowe’s editor, a feisty Helen Mirren, is wasted on this film, which is simply beneath her. But there is a cute sign about her on someone’s desk: “Never Trust an Editor.”
Crowe, by coincidence, is the former college roommate of Congressman Affleck, and also by coincidence, he’s investigating the murders of the pizza delivery guy and the other shooting victim. But unlike the gossip columnist blogger at the Globe (Rachel McAdams), he actually takes a long time to get his facts straight, whereas she just posts things every hour.
Soon, they are teaming up to report the story on Congressman Affleck’s dead girlfriend, the evil PointCorp, etc. And eventually, McAdams learns to appreciate that print journalists are the “real” journalists. And blogs are just crap. When they finally get the big story, McAdams declines his offer to put it on her blog page at the paper.
A story this big, people should probably have newsprint on their hands, don’t ya think?
Awww. No biggie that newspapers aren’t the ones doing the real investigative journalism and digging these days. That’s why the Detroit Newsistan had to follow my lead when I broke the story about how your tax money was funding Muslim foot baths at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Or why I had to point out what the Detroit Free Press consistently suppressed–the Shi’ite Muslims names and Hezbollah terrorist connections of arrested food stamp defrauders and cigarette smugglers. The only thing I get from my local newspapers are the newsprint smudge and some good recipes in the food section. Accurate information and original news reporting–the journalism part–just ain’t there.
As they investigate PointCorp, they realize that it has 14 or more other corporations with different names all allied through a fake umbrella company called MoFI–the Medal of Freedom Institute. The makers of this film might as well call it “MoFO,” since they make it very clear in the script that’s what they think of Blackwater, blogs, and News Corp. When Crowe and McAdams go to MoFI’s offices they find an empty suite–a front for what is obviously a shell.
I don’t recall Blackwater doing this over the last several years, but I do recall several Muslim lobbying organizations having such an arrangement–with several names when it was all really the same thing, terrorist fundraising at 555 Grove Street in one of Virginia’s Washington, DC suburbs. I also remember how money-laundering Grover Norquist, his Indian-defrauding lobbyist buddy Jack Abramoff, and their Islamofascist lobbying partner Khaled Saffuri had a similar arrangement. Saffuri headed something called the Islamic Free Market Institute at Grover’s Americans for Tax Reform offices and the three were connected in several mysterious lobbying organizations, including something called “The Lexington Group,” which also had empty offices in one of Virginia’s Washington, DC suburbs.
But don’t worry about a Congressman Ben Affleck movie ever going after or moralizing against extremist Muslims in our midst with their shell corporations and mysteriously empty office suites. They have a much more “worthy” target, in their minds, in Blackwater. And we know their point of view when Congressman Affleck waxes on angrily about Blackwater/”Pointcorp”‘s sole source of income as “The Muslim Terror Goldrush.”
The movie is long–just over two hours, mostly predictable, too preachy, and slow-moving. I’d give it FOUR MARXES, but because there is one great, thrilling escape scene in which Russell Crowe tries to evade a scary killer, and it has a scant few other interesting parts and lines in it, there is a mild entertainment factor. None of this is enough, though, to overcome the heavy-handed propaganda in this movie.
And so, it gets . . . TWO-AND-A-HALF MARXES

While I was out for Passover, I realized it’s been a while since I’ve posted any Octomom news and videos. And we all have a hankering to hear more about this annoying Palestinian former stripper who soaked the taxpayers to raise 14 kids.
The latest news is that she’s trying to trademark the name “Octomom” and use it for a line of diapers. Something tells me a normal parent isn’t exactly going to go for a giant diaper with sixteen legholes. If you’re wondering about the domain name (and I know you aren’t, OctoMom.com is taken.
In the meantime, Nadya Suleman introduces us to her eight kids and gives us their names:

Well, I’m back from observing the last part of Passover. And, while I was away, new disclosures came out about National Security Agency wiretapping, from Obama officials opposed to it and who claimed it was “exceeded the law.”
But the interesting thing is that in the New York Times NSA wiretaps story, there’s this very interesting disclosure about an unnamed U.S. Congressman on a delegation trip to the Middle East who had contacts with an Islamic terrorist. Neither the Congressman nor the terrorist is identified, but I have my strong convictions as to the identity (see below). We’ll never know for sure, because the surveillance was tabled. Don’t you want to know who that Congressman is? Wasn’t that in the interest of our national security to know which elected Representative was consorting with an apparent Islamic terrorist and the content of their conversations? This is “against the law” to wiretap? One of These Three Congressmen Had Contact With an Islamic Terrorist . . .
Ray LaHood: Obama’s New Transportation Sec. Loves Hezbos, HAMAS & Other Terrorists
Darrell Issa a/k/a “Jihad Darrell” Moonlights as
Prez of the Bashar Assad Fan Club, American Auxiliary
Hezbollah Fan Nick Joe Rahall
[I]n one previously undisclosed episode, the N.S.A. tried to wiretap a member of Congress without a warrant, an intelligence official with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The agency believed that the congressman, whose identity could not be determined, was in contact – as part of a Congressional delegation to the Middle East in 2005 or 2006 – with an extremist who had possible terrorist ties and was already under surveillance, the official said. The agency then sought to eavesdrop on the congressman’s conversations, the official said.
The official said the plan was ultimately blocked because of concerns from some intelligence officials about using the N.S.A., without court oversight, to spy on a member of Congress.
So who is Congressman X? Here are my three finalists. And I believe with every bone in my body that it’s one of these:
* It could be Barack Hussein Obama’s new Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood, then a Republican Congressman from Illinois with a record of being soft on Hezbollah and other Islamic terrorist groups. LaHood, a liberal Republican of Lebanese descent, has a history of supporting pan-terrorist causes, like memorializing and honoring American flag-burning, pro-Palestinian activist Rachel Corrie. He was a member of several Mid-East Congressional delegations. (Read the full scoop on Ray LaHood, pan-Arabist extraordinaire.)
* It could be Republican Congressman Darrell Issa a/k/a “Jihad Darrell,” of California, also a member of many Congressional Delegations to the Mid-East. Issa repeatedly praised Hezbollah, met with Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, and even supped with and taste-tested for Yasser Arafat at the height of Palestinian homicide bombings after 9/11. He took money from the Saudi’s paid lobbyist and lobbied against sanctions on Syria.
Sources say he’s in cahoots with several Islamic terrorists and has had many phone and personal contacts with them pre- and post-9/11. Issa–of Lebanese descent–lied about his military record, and also apparently committed arson, insurance fraud, car theft, and holding a former employee up at gunpoint . . . all reasons Karl Rove made him drop out of the California Gubernatorial recall race in favor of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He also said that the 9/11 attacks were “simply a plane crash” and introduced legislation to stop the government from using classified evidence against Islamic terrorists (which he did at the behest of CAIR and convicted Islamic Jihad founder and frontman, Sami Al-Arian). My money’s on this dude, Jihad Darrell, as “Congressman X.” (Read the full scoop on him.)
* And it could be Democrat Nick Joe Rahall of West Virginia, also of Lebanese descent and also a member of several Congressional delegations to the Mid-East. Don’t let his “down home”-sounding name fool ya. He went on several network Sunday Morning news shows to defend Hezbollah against Israel during the Hezbollah-Israel war of 2006 and has one of the most anti-Israel voting records in Congress.
All three of this Congressional Axis of Evil went on Mid-East Congressional trips in 2005 and/or 2006, and in fact, went on at least one such trip together, too.
My bet is it’s one of these three, and like I say, if I had to put money on it, Jihad Darrell’s the guy.
One day, we may learn the true identity of Congressman X, the guy elected by Americans who consults Islamic terrorists.
But I think I already know who it is. And I own a domain name bearing his name.

Recently, I told you about the anti-Israel propaganda film “Waltz with Bashir” [“Vals Im Bashir“]. As I noted, that piece of high quality Bin Laden cinema was made not by HAMAS or Hezbollah’s Nasrallah or the Saudi Royal Film Commission, or even madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It was made by Israelis.
And as I noted then and many times on this site, the most anti-Israel, most pan-terrorist filmmakers are not in the depths of the Islamic world and the Arab street. They are in the heart of the discos of Tel Aviv and the beaches of Eilat. They make our America-hating Hollywood left look like red-blooded patriots. And unfortunately, they receive a ton of tax-funded money from the Israeli government and its film commission. Let’s see if new Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has the guts to put an end to that, but don’t hold your breath. It’s like our PBS. No-one will kill the monster, once and for all.
“Lemon Tree”: More High Quality Bin Laden Cinema @ a Theater Near You
As a movie critic, I recently received notice from Mark Cuban’s Landmark Theaters about upcoming movies, which they periodically send me. And in that latest e-mail missive, there was word that the following movie was coming to Detroit on May 15th, to be shown at the Landmark Maple in the heart of an area largely populated by secular Jews–you know, the 78% of my fellow co-religionists who voted for Obama and eat up this propaganda.
I would ask you to guess the religion and nationality of the director/co-writer of this celluloid propaganda fiction, the latest high quality Bin Laden cinema, but I think it’s too easy. The Muslims and the pan-Islamist Arabs are HAMAS-green with envy over this “cinematic splendor.” And all the better that it debuts in Detroit on Israel’s birthdate of May 15th. But it’s been making its way around U.S. arthouse theaters for the last couple of weeks.
May 15 LEMON TREE / MAPLE / 106 Mins / IFC
Hiam Abbass (The Visitor) won the Israeli Academy Award for Best Actress for this film. She plays Salma, a Palestinian widow who stands up against her new neighbor, the Israeli Defense Minister, when he moves into his new house opposite her lemon grove, on the green line border between Israel and the West Bank. The Israeli security forces are quick to declare that Salma’s trees pose a threat to the Minister’s safety and issue orders to uproot them. Together with Ziad (Ali Suliman), her young Palestinian lawyer, Salma goes all the way to the Israeli Supreme Court to try and save her trees. Her struggle raises the interest of Mira (Rona Lipaz-Michael), the Defense Minister’s wife, who is trapped in her new home and in an unhappy life. Despite their differences and the borders between them the two women develop an invisible bond, while forbidden ties grow stronger between Salma and Ziad. Salma’s legal and personal journey lead her deep into the complex, dark and sometimes funny chaos of the ongoing struggle in the Middle East, in which all players find themselves alone in their struggle to survive. Directed and co-written by Eran Riklis (The Syrian Bride, Cup Final). (Partially subtitled)
Let’s here it for Grrlpower! It’s like a bad episode (redundant phrase) of Oprah where the sistaz are doin’ it (America’s moral and cultural destruction from within) for themselves.
It gets worse. Watch the trailer, below, for “Lemon Tree” (“Etz Limon) and its “Israelis as the new Nazis” imagery–a common theme of HAMAS, Fatah, and other Islamic anti-Israel propaganda (and, of late, of Israeli film garbage like this and “Waltz with Bashir”). The evil Zionists erect concentration camp-style guard towers in the poor, disheveled, widowed Muslim Palestinian woman’s lemon tree grove. The Israeli Gestapo-like soldiers target innocent, old, poor Palestinian Muslim Arabs as they meekly walk through the lemon grove. The propaganda is so thick, you could cut it with an Islamic sword.
Do you think our government would hesitate to chop down a lemon grove if Defense Secretary Bill Gates’ next-door neighbor’s backyard was an entry point for Al-Qaeda terrorists out to assassinate him and kill more innocent Americans? Gimme a break. Just ask Susette Kelo, whose home wasn’t taken for the noble cause of protecting us from Islamic terrorists bent on our destruction, but for the greed of New London, Connecticut driven by a proposed condo and townhouse development.
“Lemon Tree” is very tangentially based on a true story. A Palestinian woman did take a fight all the way the Israeli Supreme Court to keep her tree grove that was, indeed, a pathway for terrorists to enter Israel and attack innocent civilians. But other than that skeletal set of facts, the rest of the movie is just conjecture and slanted propaganda. The movie very apparently doesn’t stress the important part: that a Palestinian Muslim woman could actually go all the way through the Israeli court system to protect her terrorist shielding backyard.
Do you think a Jew (or anyone else) could go to court in an Islamic country to protect his house, which wasn’t a strategic entry point for terrorists? Fuhgedaboutit. They wouldn’t live to see another day, and they’d be cut down along with the trees.
A million Jews were not only kicked out of Arab and Islamic countries, but their homes and property were seized by the governments and their Muslim countrymen, no questions asked. My friend Jeff’s family members’ homes in Libya and Iraq were seized from them. My friend Sherri’s mother’s home in Tunisia–taken, because the family were Jews. Newsflash: They didn’t get to go to court to get their homes and property back. They barely escaped with their lives. Where is the Israeli movie about that?
Don’t expect “Lemon Tree”‘s Israeli director/co-writer Eran Riklis to make a movie about that. He’s more concerned with portraying Arab Muslim terrorists and aggressors as victims and good people. Take his 1992 piece of ap-cray, “Cup Final” (“Gmar Gavi’a“) about a group of Israeli soldiers who are taken captive in Lebanon and connect with their captors over a shared love of world soccer.
Do you think the horribly tortured, mutilated, disfigured Israeli soldiers captured and murdered by Hezbollah in Lebanon were thinking about their “shared love of soccer” as their lives were snuffed out and their penises were cut off and inserted into their mouths? Some of the bodies of the Israelis captured by the mutually “soccer-loving” terrorists have never been found nor returned by these Lebanese “soccer lovers.” One of them, Ron Arad, is certainly dead, and his body has been missing for decades, “shared love of soccer” or not.
And it’s no coincidence that “Lemon Tree”‘s star, Muslim Arab Hiam Abbass, was also a star in “The Visitor” (read my brief commentary on this movie), which as I’ve noted on this site is a BS propaganda film about how bad we Americans are because Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents actually deport a Syrian Muslim illegal alien squatting in some guy’s New York apartment. The nerve.
Yup, Ms. Abbass, has made a career of making anti-Western, Muslim victimhood movies. It’s ironic (and hypocritical), since Abbass, who insists on identifying as Palestinian (she was born in Nazareth, ISRAEL), has the privilege of being an Israeli–where as a Muslim woman, she is treated far better than she (or any Jew, for that matter) would be in any Islamic country. She even won the Best Actress award from the Israeli Film Academy (Israel’s Oscars). She makes a better living from Israel than most Israelis–Jew or Arab–could ever hope to make.
It’s also no surprise that another anti-Israel Muslim Arab actor, Ali Suliman, stars in the film. He was one of the stars of “Paradise Now,” the pro-homicide bomber, anti-Israel movie also funded by Israel. He is also from Nazareth, Israel. Like I said, the Israelis have made these two actors wealthy beyond their wildest dreams, funded by Israel, attacking Israel from within.
The bottom line, apparently not shown in this movie, is that if Palestinians–with whom Ms. Abbass now identifies after years of saying she was an Israeli Arab–stopped supporting and committing terrorism and using their land to shield and harbor cold-blooded killers on their way to blow up pizza joints and kill toddlers and babies, there would have been no need to go after this woman’s lemon grove. But why dwell on that fact, when we can have critical thinking-free propaganda films against Israel?
Forget Hollywood’s anti-Israel viewpoint in films. Hollywood has nothing on Israel’s film industry. I await the day when I will actually see a pro-Israel–or even a balanced–film coming out of Israel.
But it’s pretty likely that I’ll be waiting forever. The Muslims don’t need to make anti-Israel–and frankly, anti-Semitic–films. They have the Israeli Jewish left and its film industry doing it for them.
Neither Bin Laden nor Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, Haniyeh, Abbas, Qaddafi, and the King Abdullahs need to open a studio. They already have several in Tel Aviv “Hollywood.”

On Monday, I told you that Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Hussein Obama Idi Amin Dada was scheduled to speak to Department of Homeland Security employees at a Town Hall meeting, Tuesday, bearing a “special message” from the President.
My friends at Homeland Security sent me the transcript of Ms. Thang’s speech, and I noticed something no-one else has, something very disturbing . . . and deliberate:
Incredibly, in her speech to ALL Homeland Security employees, Mrs. Obama thanked every major sub-agency of DHS, EXCEPT the BIGGEST one, ICE–Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In her BS-filled speech, she thanked agents from other agencies for everything from securing our borders and ports to checking luggage. Everything . . . except immigration enforcement (and customs, too). Ah, so that was the “special message” to DHS–that ICE and its thousands of dedicated agents and other employees are persona non grata.
This was by design. And my sources inside ICE tell me that ICE will basically shift away from enforcing immigration law and focus more on the main aspects of the “C” in ICE–Customs enforcement.
Without that, all the “keeping our borders and ports safe” and “checking luggage in thirteen minutes” stuff is meaningless. Pure crap. If invaders are allowed to remain here once they get in, the rest is just horse manure and meaningless. Putting a band-aid on cancer. And that cancer is growing within because Mrs. Obama’s hubby and his man in charge, Janet Napolitano a/k/a “The Lesbionic Woman,” a/k/a “J-No” is persecuting ICE agents for doing their jobs and won’t let them continue to enforce the law.
And while she could not bring herself to mention those “horrible, unAmerican” people who work for ICE, she did praise the Homeland Security Office of Pandering to Extremist Muslims a/k/a the “Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties” (whose previous chief, Daniel Sutherland, made monthly trips to Dearbornistan to fete FBI award revokee, marriage fraud perpetrator, and “former” PFLP terrorist Imad Hamad and Hezbollah agent Osama Siblani).
Below is the text of her speech, which was–minus the DIRECT SNUB OF OMITTING ICE–mostly nice boilerplate of an ignoramus informing people what they do every day in their jobs, along with a whole lotta Michelle Obama fertilizer. And, even without the snub to ICE, it’s just a tad hypocritical.
On the one hand, she’s applauding DHS agents and employees for keeping us safe and protecting our borders, while on the other hand her husband and his hand-picked DHS chief are releasing illegal aliens who were arrested in legitimate workplace enforcement raids, investigating the agents whom she thanks for protecting us, and making life miserable for them.
Oh, and she coined a new euphemism for anchor babies.
How do you spell “hypocrite” and “phony” at the same time? M-I-C-H-E-L-L-E O-B-A-M-A.
I doubt any DHS employees were fooled by this phony baloney “special message” from the First Ms. Thang:

REMARKS BY THE FIRST LADY TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, D.C.
11:12 A.M. EDT
MRS. OBAMA: Thank you so much. Thank you for coming out on this rainy, cold day. I know how D.C. people don’t like bad weather. (Laughter.) So I really appreciate it.
I want to thank Secretary Napolitano for her kind introduction and for the strong leadership that she’s bringing here to the Department of Homeland Security. We are thrilled to have her. I got to meet Janet on the campaign trail, and she was always one of my favorite people to see. She’s a fighter, she’s a hard worker, and she cares tremendously about each and every one of you, and doing a tremendous job here. So I want to give her a round of applause. (Applause.)
Well, one of the President’s greatest concerns and priorities is the safety and security of the American people
Hmmm . . . What’s she smoking? Who actually believes this crock?
and the more than 180,000 employees of this Department are at the heart of fulfilling that mission. He couldn’t do it without you.
Huh? He’s doing it? He’s the one keeping our nation secure, and DHS employees are like SantObama’s elves, helping wrap the gifts?
While the Department of Homeland Security may be one of the newest cabinet departments, its agencies have served the American people for generations. And some of you right here on this stage behind me have been doing a great job at that, as well, and we’re grateful for your work.
You all stand watch every day over our borders, and our skies, our ports and our transportation systems; you dedicate yourselves to preventing, preparing for and responding to our disasters all over this nation; and you ensure that the nation’s first responders are well-equipped and well-trained.
Many people don’t know what this Department does each year. They hear the initials, but they don’t know what happens here. And this year alone, DHS will award more than $3 billion in grants to states, urban areas and transportation authorities to better prepare our nation and protect our infrastructure. That’s just one of the many things that’s happening. And the budget for next year calls for additional funding in critical areas like border security and immigration services, transportation systems and research and development.
And for many of you, your work takes place behind the scenes. The truth is, is that if you do your jobs well, then few people will ever know about anything that you do. For others, the hope is that you never have to execute much of what you work so hard to prepare for.
But this shouldn’t mean that your services don’t go unappreciated, just because we don’t always know what you do.
Today, for example, the Transportation Security Administration will screen approximately 2 million passengers and their 1.8 million pieces of checked baggage – and the average customer will wait no more than 13 minutes to have that done. Now oftentimes we complain, but the truth is 13 minutes is pretty impressive.
Yeah, and riding on Air Force One you couldn’t give a crap.
Today the U.S. Customs and Border Protection will process more than 1.1 million passengers and pedestrians and inspect more than 70,000 truck, rail and sea containers.
Today the United States Coast Guard will save 14 lives, assist 98 people in distress and monitor the nation’s 15,000 miles of inland waterways.
And an additional 600 Coast Guard personnel are supporting the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan by patrolling the region, protecting Iraq’s oil platforms in the Persian Gulf and training Iraq forces.
Today the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will naturalize 3,000 new citizens, including 27 who are serving in our military, and then welcome 3,200 new baby citizens to our nation.
And including many new Muslim citizens from Middle Eastern countries who were screened for less than six minutes apiece.
New Euphemism #2 for Anchor Babies: “Baby Citizens.”
And when natural disasters strike, we’re going to rely on the men and women of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to respond and help us begin to repair our communities and put our lives back on track.
The President is committed to ensuring that FEMA has the leadership and resources needed to fulfill that very important mission. And the administration is also committed to helping New Orleans and the Gulf Coast finish the job of rebuilding and becoming stronger than ever in those regions.
Today the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties will assist the dedicated men and women of this Department in securing our country while preserving our freedoms and our way of life.
Yay! The Homeland Security Extremist Muslim Pandering Office remains open for biz!
And today I want to personally thank the men and women of the United States Secret Service. See, a lot of people don’t even know that they operate under DHS. But it is those men and women who are responsible for the safety and security of the President, the Vice President, me, and our families.
Every day I see how hard they work. Every day I see how much time they spend away from their own families to keep mine safe. And it has been an honor to get to know each and every one of them throughout the course of the campaign, and our day-to-day interactions. They represent the utmost of excellence, and we are so honored to have them serving alongside of us.
But I’m here not just to thank them but to thank all of you. That’s one of the things I’ve been doing over these first few months, is thanking you all for your service to this country, and to ensure that you, as true public servants, don’t get lost behind the numbers and the magnitude of the mission that you have to execute every day — because it’s the employees of this Department who help a family sift through the debris in search of a beloved doll or a teddy bear. It is the employees of this Department who put their lives on the line to protect our borders. It is the employees of this Department who educate our newest citizens. It’s all of you who risk your lives to rescue someone at sea, and who miss Easter or Passover or birthdays or anniversaries with their own families to spend time watching over mine.
So once again my job here is simple: Thank you. Thank you for your service to our country. Thank you for your dedication to keeping America strong. We’re going to need you working harder than ever each and every day in the coming years, and we are grateful for everything you’ve done.
So I’m going to stop now and come down and shake some hands. Thank you so much.
Minor points for the First Lady for not putting Ramadan or either of the Eids in there with Easter and Passover, like her husband would have (but only b/c those haven’t occured in the last few days prior to her speech). But no worries, when those holidays of greater barbaria come, she will overdo it in “correcting” and halal-ing that.
