PBS Telecasts Israel's Sacrifice of Jewish Gaza - Tonight

"Storm of Emotions," a documentary showing Israel's sacrificing Jewish communities to receive peace from the Palestinians will air on PBS' "Independent Lens" tonight.

In 2005, Israeli police faced the most complicated assignment of their careers—to evacuate other Israelis from the Gaza Strip, perhaps the most contested piece of land in the world. Told from the perspective of the Israeli police force, STORM OF EMOTIONS explores how individuals try to balance their emotions, beliefs and conscience while attempting to maintain civil order.

STORM OF EMOTIONS premieres Tuesday, October 30 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.

Los Angeles Airtime: Thurs, Nov 1st, 9-10:30pm KCET-TV

Appeal for Local PBS Airings for Moderate Muslims' Expose of the Radicalizing of US Mosques

As awareness grows about the “parallel societies” Islamists are trying to insinuate into Western democracies for the purpose undermining and ultimately displacing them – the importance and timeliness of this film and its companion documentary, “Muslims Against Jihad,” become all the more apparent.

There is, arguably, no more important topic for American (and, we believe, foreign) audiences to understand about the post-9/11 world than the plight of moderate Muslims at the hands of their Islamist enemies – and ours.

CAMERA's campaign:

Thanks to all of you who have been calling/writing your local PBS station to encourage them to show the important film "Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center".

At least 31 stations are scheduled to run it. At the bottom of this alert is a list of those currently slated to show the film, along with the date and time. Note that nearly all dates are in August. Additional airings in September and later could be in the works.

We'd like to focus our efforts now on 10 large PBS stations that have not yet agreed to air the film. Working as a team, concentrating our letters and calls on these 10 stations, will hopefully accelerate the approval process.
For more info on the film, go to www.freethefilm.org

ACTION ITEMS:

* Please call or write the following PBS stations. Write to them one at a time, not as a group e-mail.

Let them know that "Islam vs. Islamists" is about moderate anti-Islamist Muslims in the U.S., Canada and Western Europe, and the social, financial and physical dangers they face by speaking out against Muslim extremism. Remind them the documentary is now available for individual PBS stations to air and urge them to broadcast the inspirational film.

* Let CAMERA know if you contacted a station and what its response was.
Please contact as many of these stations as you can to request the film be shown!

Banned by PBS: Fox News Airs "Muslims Against Jihad"

"Muslims Against Jihad," the companion documentary to Martyn Burke's banned "Islam vs Islamists" is rescheduled to air on Fox News Channel, Sunday, June 24 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 PT. May. Likely repeat: Midnight PT, 3 a.m. ET Sun June 25.

Oregon Public Broadcasting will air "Islam vs Islamists" in mid-August, optionally picked up afterwards by local PBS affiliates. Frank Gaffney appeared on Hannity and Colmes to explain.

Details:

The Struggle to Broadcast Moderate Muslims' Warning

Filmmaker Martyn Burke, subject Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, and producer Frank Gaffney appear at L.A. screening to discuss the conspiracy among their opponents at PBS & the far-left/Islamist alliance to squelch the message of American Islam being overtaken by political extremists.

Dr. Zuhdi Jasser of "Islam vs Islamists" inquires whether the far-left realizes how their supported Islamists treat women's and gay rights wherever they attain influence?

Dr. Jasser claims that American Muslims are being intentionally radicalized toward sedition and violence by a revolutionary movement in American mosques.

PBS Accused of Same Tactics Radical Muslims Use Against Moderates

"PBS is doing what the Islamists are doing," Santa Monica-based filmmaker, Martyn Burke charged. "They are silencing these people [Muslim moderates]."

Anti-Semitism in the 21st Century: the Resurgence on PBS Mon 8 Jan

Tom Tugend writes in L.A.'s Jewish Journal:

The PBS documentary, "Anti-Semitism in the 21st Century: The Resurgence," will discomfit viewers of all stripes. Airing Monday, Jan. 8 (check local listing- at 10 p.m. on KCET in L.A.), the film will annoy those who believe that rising anti-Semitism is a myth fueled by Jewish paranoia and self-serving Jewish defense agencies.Equally upset will be those who argue that anti-Semitism, particularly in the Islamic world, is just using the same old stick to beat up on a blameless Israel.In addition, fervent believers in a global Jewish conspiracy, if any tune in, will be enraged at seeing their worldview demolished and ridiculed. Within one hour, the documentary, narrated by veteran broadcast journalist Judy Woodruff, covers a lot of territory in a graphic and efficient manner. We are given a capsule history of Jew hatred both in the Christian West and Muslim East, accompanied throughout by horrifying cartoons across the centuries depicting the Jew as "Christ killer," blood sucker, ravisher of virgins and plotter of world domination.Numerous experts weigh in on the Middle East conflict and its impact on the resurgence of anti-Semitism. On the whole, the arguments balance each other out, with perhaps a slight edge to our side, thanks to Woodruff's narration. Considerable airtime is given to New York University professor Tony Judt, often denounced for his harsh criticism of Israeli policy and leadership. In this program, however, he limits himself mainly to exploring the growing Muslim immigration and influence in Europe.Israel's Natan Sharansky and the American Jewish Committee's David Harris effectively lay out the Jewish role in the fight against anti-Semitism. A telling analysis of the corrupting effect of anti-Semitism on the Arab masses is given, surprisingly, by Salameh Nematt, Washington bureau chief for Al Hayat, an independent Arab daily published in London.Princeton historian Bernard Lewis draws a useful distinction between Christian and Muslim anti-Semitism over the centuries.In the Islamic world, the Jew, though not equal, was tolerated and did not carry the satanic aura painted in medieval Europe, said Lewis, who "credited" British and other Christian theologians with introducing modern anti-Semitism into the Arab world.Perhaps the most surprising emphasis in the film is on the deep and persisting impact of "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" in shaping the prejudices of European anti-Semites and the convictions of Arab leaders and masses.The "Protocols," a Czarist forgery of the early 1900s, has proven particularly useful to Muslim presidents and clerics to rationalize how the "inferior" Jews of Israel could repeatedly outfight proud Arab nations.While the Arabs have never gotten over their defeat in the 1967 Six-Day War, their humiliation is lessened if they can believe that they were beaten by the cosmic evil power portrayed in the "Protocols."The one point of agreement among the experts is that anti-Semitism will not disappear, because "it serves so many purposes," notes professor Dina Porat of Tel Aviv University.Added Woodruff, "Israel is used as a coat hanger" by Arab leaders, who can attach all their problems on it and divert their people from their poverty and corrupt regimes.The PBS production was produced, written and directed by Andrew Goldberg, who recently documented "The Armenian Genocide," in association with Oregon Public Broadcasting.
