Threats and implementing boycotts do work. Loach has backers and advertisers. Sending a few thousand e-mails to the sponsors of this film festival and advertisers can bring about a change in policy very quickly. Loach should be ashamed of himself for his ignorance. He seems to have swallowed all the propaganda and lies that the Palestinians and other Arabs have been spreading in Europe, and like a good Pavlov dog, Loach has soaked it up and is repeating the same lines. Totally disgusting.
