    Default What is up with that?

    Seriously the Israelis and the Palestians in the East Coast seem numb to that - minus some Hassidums I've met(but several of even the the Hassidumu seem antiwar pro Palestiinian rights--- does that make any sense to you?). Like seriously Ive met Hassidum jews working for anti-occupation Palestinian rights? Hmmm.... What can I say?

    The documentary was ok? People around you seem pretty liberal, yeaH?
    I support our troops!

    I believe there are some ultra-orthodox sects that are anti-zionist.

    There's Matisyahu, so it makes a little sense, I guess!

    Solidly Democratic, for sure. But some Dems are vicious pro-Israel hawks and sometimes you get anti-Israel conservatives (I won't say that all of them are anti-Semites, but some of them do give that impression).

    Matisyahu is great. I'm not as into his newer stuff, but his first "Live from Stubb's" was awesome.

    I really want this film to have a wider release. My room-mate spotted the trailer a few months ago when I was reading A High Price, for US customers: http://www.amazon.com/High-Price-Tri.../dp/0195391829and immediately turned me onto it.

    If it delivers on half of what the trailer promises: I'll be buying it for sure.

    Debatable. It is unpopular to say, but I wouldn't necessarily say that anti-Zionism means anti-Semitism - though some certainly wish to frame it that way.
