GOLDEN GLOBE TO FILM SYMPATHETIC TO SUICIDE BOMBERS

Film on suicide bombers honored
A drama about Palestinian suicide bombers won the Golden Globe for best foreign-language film. “Paradise Now,” a Palestinian-Israeli coproduction, was honored at Monday night’s award ceremony in Los Angeles.

The Golden Globes are widely seen as a bellwether of results at the more prestigious Academy Awards. While “Paradise Now” has been taken to task for presenting two suicide bombers sympathetically, it has raised eyebrows among Palestinians for criticizing the terrorist group that sends them on their deadly mission. The film has had limited distribution in Israel.

THAT'S RIGHT; THE PALESTINIANS DON'T LIKE THE FILM EITHER....BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE THE BOMBERS SEEM BLOODTHIRSTY ENOUGH.

Palestinian Film Gets Thumbs Down at Home.
Although the film — which snared the Golden Globe in Los Angeles on Monday — has never been screened in Nablus, residents here said the clips they saw on satellite television portrayed the bombers as godless and less than heroic.

“This movie doesn’t help the Palestinian cause,” said an armed Palestinian militant who would not give his name because he’s on the run. “People who go to carry out bombings do not hesitate so much.”
