Tel Aviv mayor dismisses Toronto Film Festival protest

Showing solidarity with minorities is far more than the Pals have done and certainly far more than the Arab world has done. Even if Tel Aviv, as a municipal entity, had done nothing else (as if this artifice does anything), that solidarity is far more & far better than those things done and not done by those Jew haters with whom you sympathize.

israeli films have been sold out. I love the boycotts---the more boycotts, the better for Israel ! "jaffa' was a great film. It was nice to see some good arab people

Actually I thought there might be 1 or 2 human beings living in between the sky-scrapers of Tel Aviv.... ....but who knows, maybe I was wrong..:) P.S. Showing solidarity when it comes to gays and other minorities is great, but it is not everything....

For Dino the intifada is over. Locked up placed in a part of his brain called "Done". What Dino can not even begin to understand is the residue left by such an event. I find it remarkable that in an age of psychological understanding and the effects of war, that a gentleman such as Dino is unaware how these events manifest themselves. Previous to the 'Al Aqsa" intifada, many Israelis, including myself to a degree, thought that an exchange of land was at the core of making peace. But we learned different. Dino should be thankful that the people of Tel Aviv did not burn down or destroy any mosques in Tel Aviv. Yes Dino Tel Aviv has mosques, which blaring speakers and green disco lighting. While the Moslem world was burning embassies because of some cartoons, the Jews of Tel Aviv kept cool, and did not take out their frustrations and anger against the local Moslem community. This should be praised and recognized, but the Left seems incapable of such morality.

It can't do anything for anything, it's not somebody who can act. However, it is a symbol of liberalism as even the rest of the Free World wouldn't accept and that I disapprove (for example, the integration of the homosexual community and such).

....to end the occupation...??? Or rather what has Tel Aviv done over the past 7 years...??? Yes, a few thousand activists on the (extreme) left of the political spectrum (Bet'selem, the "women in black" etc.), but what about the rest of the left-liberal Israelis...??? I mean, I would not have expected them to come out in the thousands during the height of the last Intifada, but where have they been over the past couple of years, when there clearly was a partner for peace with Abbas on the other side....??? Nothing to see from them on the streets of Tel Aviv.....
