9/11 movie

This looks interesting.

A Jew awakens

I always catch NPR's Talk of the Nation at lunchtime, mostly listening to silly bloat-heads talking about silly bloated topics. Today was different. I heard someone named Thane Rosenbaum, a Jew and professor of law at Fordham Law School talk about Isreal in terms I'm not used to hearing from Jewish intelligentsia. Listening further, I got the fact he'd written an op-ed. My cup of tea! I found it and here is a sampler:

And I am not alone. Many Jews are in my position -- the children and grandchildren of labor leaders, socialists, pacifists, humanitarians, antiwar protestors -- instinctively leaning left, rejecting war, unwilling to demonize, and insisting that violence only breeds more violence. Most of all we share the profound belief that killing, humiliation and the infliction of unnecessary pain are not Jewish attributes.

However, the world as we know it today -- post-Holocaust,post-9/11, post-sanity -- is not cooperating.

Refreshing.
