Hollywood: guerre à la guerre contre la terreur

Posted on Jeudi 25 octobre 2007

You can’t argue that Hollywood’s only motivation in bashing anti-terrorist efforts is money. « Babel » lost money and it’s clear « The Kingdom » will as well, while « Rendition » came out of the starting gate a full-fledged flop.Moreover, it’s hardly the case that Islamists don’t make believable villains, much less more believable and captivating than evil cyber-geniuses and neo-Nazis. Islamists have killed about three thousand American civilians on 9/11, killed almost 200 people in the Madrid Train Bombings, and 52 more in the London subway bombings.

A similar, if rather more qualified, spirit of optimism seems to have inspired 138 Muslim scholars—including grand muftis from most of the world’s Islamic nations—who this week wrote to Christian leaders, appealing for a sort of strategic dialogue.

« TWO months ago Heftsiba, an Israeli construction firm, went bust. One reason for its woes was a court order last year to freeze work on a big housing project on an Israeli settlement just inside the West Bank. The land, it turned out, had in effect been stolen from private owners in a neighbouring Palestinian village, Bilin. Yet after the bankruptcy, the same court ruled that the apartment blocks—and their prospective buyers, who had broken in and occupied them at the news of Heftsiba’s impending collapse—could stay.
