• What's this distinction between the government and the people? The government is there to serve and protect the people; to be there in our time of need and protect our rights. It is big business that is a that to the people.

• sanych, who said anything about a conspiracy? Another example of how using these buzz words- antisemite, conspiracy theory- is used to distract from the actual discussion of content. this quote is from the film's producer Raphael Shore on the Third Jihad's own website...http://www.thethirdjihad.com/nypd/response.php "We regret that the film has been taken out of the counterterrorism training program of the NYPD. The New York Times stories are proof positive that the Clarion Fund's high-quality and impactful documentaries touch very sensitive nerves." and this is from a website called stop radical islam.org http://www.radicalislam.org/content/about-clarion-fund "CLARION FUND, Inc. is an independently-funded non-profit organization that produces and distributes documentaries on the threats of Radical Islam. In 2006, Clarion released the award-winning documentary Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West. In 2008, Clarion released the well-received documentary, The Third Jihad: Radical Islam’s Vision for America. Clarion's newest film, Iranium, premiered February 8, 2011. Clarion Fund was founded by Raphael Shore in 2006. Shore is also the founder of Imagination Productions, a distributor of films relating to Jewish education; and JerusalemOnlineU.com, a portal for online education. Previously, Shore served in senior posts at Aish HaTorah."

• sanych, I completely agree. But in this case, the criticism is not unrelated as this film was produced by the Clarion Fund, a group linked to US and Israeli right-wing groups and a host of philanthropic organizations that share the agenda of protecting Israel's settlement project and squelching any political opposition to it.

• sanych- just because someone is critical of the Isreali government and it's policies, does not make them an antisemite. Many Jews and Isrealis are also critical of these policies. That label is all too often used to stifle any conversation on these issues.

• Brian, it's disappointing that you too are participating in the fear mongering. I expect more from independent public radio. I guess it's time to tune into WBAI.
