		<description>Whoa, that is interesting. Completely gone and not even available in cached form.

The largest chunk of that article that I could find was on &lt;a href=&quot;http://blazingcatfur.blogspot.com/2010/02/york-film-professor-john-i-told-whopper.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;  rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this blog&lt;/a&gt;:

Globe &amp; Mail


&lt;blockquote&gt;
&quot;The faculty of York University’s film school has taken the unusual step of criticizing its own staff member, John Greyson, over his continuing campaign to promote a cultural boycott of Israel.


It was Greyson who precipitated last fall&#039;s controversy at the Toronto International Film Festival when he withdrew his own short documentary film from the lineup, in protest of the Festival&#039;s decision to spotlight a series of films about Tel Aviv. Now, Greyson, an associate professor of production, is spearheading a new drive to boycott the Tel Aviv University International Student Film Festival, scheduled for the spring, and it&#039;s this one that has irked his colleagues at York. Last month, in letters to 90 film schools soliciting support for his position, Greyson attached the names of director James Cameron (Avatar) and actress Jane Fonda implying that they supported the campaign.

However, neither Cameron nor Fonda had been asked to sign on to this open letter. &quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It might have been removed because the letter was never sent with the names of Cameron and Fonda attached. That was a &quot;draft letter&quot; sent, from what I understand, to potential signatories as examples of the types of people who would sign on. The final letter that was apparently sent to film schools did not mention Fonda or Cameron from what I&#039;ve read.

		<description>Speaking of universities and racism, what happened to the Feb. 11 story in the Globe and Mail, &quot;York film professor slammed over Israel boycott&quot;? It literally vanisted from the site, comments and all. Did someone at York disagree with the piece and threaten the Globe?

Hmmm... censorship in action?</description>

		<description>I just want to point out one factual error in this letter.  Gaza is not totally Judenfrei since the Israeli withdrawal.  There remains one Jew in Gaza; he is there against his will because the Palestinians want him there, not because he or the Israeli government want him to &quot;occupy&quot; Gaza.  His name is Gilad Schalit.</description>

		<description>Without Jews the world would die of boredom.  We are like the &quot;yeast that enters the flour&quot;..(not my quote)  We gave the world...God, the Ten Commandments, Jesus, and even Allah!  And what do we get a kick in Tuchas for it.  You guys (Jew haters) be &quot;chosen&quot; ..see how you like it!  And I got six million reasons to be pissed at every freeking anti_Semite that ever lived.  Most are dead, Thank God...but a few are still here (in this Post). Arabia is loaded with them!</description>

		<description>It seems like suggesting boycotting could be a lucrative position for Israeli-Jewish-Zionist events. We can sell the &quot;right to boycott&quot; a PR service to failing artists world over. 

I can see the campaign already:

&quot;
Artist!
Career failing? 
Face time dwindling?

You&#039;re not alone!
Join John Greyson, Roseanne Bar, Jane Fonda, Danny Glover and other has-beens celebrities and BOYCOTT US!

Go Pro!
Become an official [insert event name here]
OFFICIAL BOYCOTTER! 

Coverage in leading media outlets GUARANTEED!
(terms apply)
&quot;

Seeing as how most of these idiots aren&#039;t too bothered with details, and things like historical or geographical facts tend to elude them, I&#039;m pretty sure we&#039;ll make a killing.

Heck we can even promise to donate 10% of our proceeds back to the community (I&#039;ve always had a soft spot for the &quot;Land Rights for Gay Jewish Whales&quot; movement...)

		<description>Well, Llwalyn, you poor, poor man...next time get born in a different year. 

By the way, nothing changes. You didn&#039;t know this book was a forgery and yet here you are extolling its virtues. Either you&#039;re like a Nazi or you&#039;re a moron. Or you&#039;re both. My bet is on both. I mean, the book&#039;s not even that old, relatively speaking, and yet you not only believe it, you come into an unrelated discussion to sell it. 

Actually, maybe you&#039;re not a Nazi. You could just be one of the citizens of Gaza educated and influenced by their government, Hamas, which has the Protocols mentioned in their Charter. In that case, don&#039;t worry too much, you have a bunch of useful North American and European propagandists supporting you even as they ignore the same fundamentalist beliefs that cause you to hate them just as much as Israel and Jews. And queer film festivals in Sarajevo.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, Llwalyn, you poor, poor man&#8230;next time get born in a different year. </p>
<p>By the way, nothing changes. You didn&#8217;t know this book was a forgery and yet here you are extolling its virtues. Either you&#8217;re like a Nazi or you&#8217;re a moron. Or you&#8217;re both. My bet is on both. I mean, the book&#8217;s not even that old, relatively speaking, and yet you not only believe it, you come into an unrelated discussion to sell it. </p>
<p>Actually, maybe you&#8217;re not a Nazi. You could just be one of the citizens of Gaza educated and influenced by their government, Hamas, which has the Protocols mentioned in their Charter. In that case, don&#8217;t worry too much, you have a bunch of useful North American and European propagandists supporting you even as they ignore the same fundamentalist beliefs that cause you to hate them just as much as Israel and Jews. And queer film festivals in Sarajevo.</p>

		<description>Aw shucks, that&#039;s nice. If I hadn&#039;t been so busy today, I would have written about the letter Greyson and a bunch of other filmmakers published today attacking TIFF for their Tel Aviv section. They, of course, use the A word.</description>

		<description>People like Greyson go to bat for political principles that completely defy logic.  It&#039;s almost like one of those faulty syllogisms, e.g. &quot;Fish can swim/I can swim/therefore, I am a fish&quot;, except in this case it&#039;s &quot;I am gay and claim to take a stand on human rights issues/I support the Palestinian cause/therefore, if I support the Palestinian cause then the Palestinians must be like-thinking people who support everything I support, i.e. gay rights, freedom of expression, etc.&quot;

It&#039;s symptomatic of a more general problem with certain American and Canadian leftists: they falsely believe that their leftist/rightist politics is the whole world&#039;s leftist/rightist politics.  Since US Republicans are the traditionally pro-military party, and Israelis strongly support their military, then therefore Israelis must be opposed to universal health care, are anti-union, are anti-LGBT rights, etc.  It&#039;s a convenient assumption for guys like Greyson to make, no matter how wrong it is, because it fits his own political worldview so nicely without having to make any additional effort to really understand the issues at hand.  It&#039;s pretty easy to be so smug when you self-confine yourself to ignorance (and shouldn&#039;t Greyson know that, I mean, isn&#039;t public ignorance the main obstacle in the fight for LGBT rights?)</description>
