IMPORTANT UPDATE: TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL BEGINS THIS WEEK

September 8, 2009

We reported to you on Friday, "A New Front Against Israel has been Launched at the Toronto International Film Festival". Here are the latest developments in the more than 65 actors, writers and directors who have protested the Toronto International Film Festival's recognition of Tel Aviv's 100^th anniversary. The festival runs September 10^th - 19^th.

		Jane Fonda Joins Boycott of Toronto Film Festival over Homage to Israel
		Leftist filmmaker urges Israeli artists to boycott Toronto Fest
		Tiff over Tel Aviv films grows - Simon Wiesenthal Center defends Toronto fest's choice for program, lambastes protesting artists
		Rabbi slams celebs for festival boycott

The Toronto protest is just the latest front in the war to demonize and undermine the very legitimacy of the Jewish state by religious organizations like World Council of Churches, diplomatic maneuvers at the United Nations, regimes like Iran, and academics on both sides of the Atlantic.
