Not surprising to anyone who sees them for the leftist, Israel hating, moslem apologist scumbags that they are, the New York Times, and their insufferable arabist film critic, Alan Riding, predictably gushed over the newly released, suicide bomber-friendly film, "Paradise Now", by Palestinian director, Hany Abu-Assad.
~
This is one of the mind-numbing excerpts from Riding's interview with Abu-Assad:
~
"While suicide bombers are often portrayed in the West as brainwashed automatons, Mr. Abu-Assad said his research in Palestine suggested that people acted mostly out of conviction. 'The daily humiliation is so big that people just agree to it,' he said. 'The biggest motivation is the feeling of impotence. You are captured in your own city; you can't do anything about it; you are nothing.'"
~
Of course! The terrorists are merely fighting for their freedom from brutal Jewish oppression. It's just the natural reaction of a desperate people, good folk like you and me, getting caught up in the noble struggle for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, right?
~
Yeah, right.
~
You know, I have to wonder why there are no movies being made about innocent Jews being blown up by islamic terrorists in the name of Allah. Always the Jewish civilians are virtually ignored while the islamic criminals are portrayed with great sympathy and compassion.
~
I also loved this gem:
~
"By attacking the enemy society," he went on, suicide bombers "go from losing to winning. Religion is just a ceremony. That is the research I did. And I'm not the only one saying it. All the talk about brainwashing and virgins and the other life - it's just ceremony."
~
Oh sure, the islamic factors are completely irrelevant, right? The koran has nothing to do with this beyond the ceremonial, huh? Well, naturally that makes for a more identifiable character.
~
Of course, anyone really believing that the moslems are not very interested in islam, or having the Jews thrown into the sea so that an islamic state can be created, probably needs to have a full frontal lobotomy.
~
Which explains the useful idiots at the European Film Festival, who lavished this abysmal, terrorist-loving movie with awards and accolades, in the same measure they embraced Michael Moore's putrid lie, Fahrenheit 9-11, last year.
~
Seems as if the NY Times has never seen a movie that praises moslems and hates America or Israel that they didn't like.

I lost respect for that rag sheet long ago...that said, the way they just sugar coat terrorism and islamic brutality with lovable reviews like this is disgusting.
Big Right,
Well said. I don't spend much time on liberal bias because it's so prevalent in the MSM why bother. However, when they start making overt kissy-face with the moslems who seek the destruction of Israel, and the murder of innocent Jews, I feel compelled to say something.
They crossed even their own liberal line with this flowery love-fest of suicide bombers.

By the way, MZ, I read your bio and didn't see "Rules of Engagement" listed as one of your favorite movies. Tell me it aint so! If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it. I've rented it several times since 911. It always makes me feel better.
Actually, JB, it is so...I've never seen this movie before. However, if you are this jacked up about it it must be impressive so I'll have to check it out.
