Esp. every time the world gets fed up with Israel. Noticed how all this tripe coincided with Israel's attack on everything and everyone in Gaza, even the animals? Hello! Hollywood clearly thinks only jewish suffering matters. There IS a glut of holocuast films. Esp. every time the world gets fed up with Israel.

There was a quote attributed to Spencer Tracy that I cannot find - but he said something to the effect that "acting is the easiest thing to do - just don't let them catch you doing it". I have heard that Dustin Hoffman is a PITA to work with on the set...

I was flipping through a catalog last night that is put out by a company that offers lectures by prominent college professors on various topics. In the catalog was a course on recent Middle Eastern Iranian history. With reference to the Hostage Crisis, here is verbatim what the professor wrote: "...Carter spends his final weeks as president working out a deal with Iran. In exchange for the hostages, the US turns over $8 billion in Iranian assets frozen in American banks and pledges not to interfere in Iran's internal affairs." NOT A WORD ABOUT RONALD REAGAN and that the hostages were RELEASED on the day Reagan took office! So far as Reagan goes, this same timeline reads: "In 1985, President Reagan's National Security Council agrees to sell arms to Iran in exchange for release of American hostages in Lebanon. Known as the Iran-Contra affair, the scandal causes public uproar when it comes to light in November of 1986 and tarnishes the president's reputation." PUBLIC UPROAR? Media uproar is more like it. The mainstream press did its damnedest to make a big deal out of it and not much came of it except Oliver North became to their chagrin a hero to many. If this stuff is what is being taught in our colleges, it is little wonder that the Holocaust is quickly being revised into the "never happened" category.
