'Today's [Yesterday now. -S] New York Times carries a review of a film called "Hot House" that goes inside Israeli prisons and examines the lives of Palestinian prisoners. We're not recommending the film or the review. But we do want to share our feelings with you about the beaming female face that adorns the article. You can see it here.
The film is produced by HBO. So it's presumably HBO's publicity department that was responsible for creating and distributing a glamor-style photograph of a smiling, contented-looking young woman in her twenties to promote the movie.
That female is our child's murderer. She was sentenced to sixteen life sentences or 320 years which she is serving in an Israeli jail. Fifteen people were killed and more than a hundred maimed and injured by the actions of this attractive person and her associates. The background is here.'
The mainstream press's point of view on Israel has changed radically. From the days in the 60's when idealistic young Brits and Americans would head off to Israel to experience life on a Kibbutz and get a feel for what plucky little Israel has suffered in its brief existence; we have travelled far. Now young Brits and Americans are more likely to go to the Palestinian arab territories and scream obscenities at the the Israeli security barrier while burning their own flags. And weirdly enough, the big newspapers and TV networks in the US and Britain seem to be of the same mind. So a useful corrective to the deluge of 'heartrending' stories of Palestinian stupidity and suicidal cultural supremacism is the story of the people they kill.
A request to other bloggers- please pass this on.
