(Huffington Post) David Harris - On March 11, the American Jewish Committee wrote to UN General Assembly President Joseph Deiss, asking him to reconsider hosting the premiere of a new film, "Miral," at UN headquarters on March 14. We noted, "The Israeli Mission to the UN was not even given the minimal courtesy of being consulted in advance about the wisdom of showing such a film that deals, after all, with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Now imagine that Deiss had opted to premiere a film that portrayed the Indian-Pakistani conflict over Kashmir through the eyes of one side only. Or the division of Cyprus through the lens of only the Greek or Turkish perspective. Or the dispute over the Falkland Islands, which led to an Argentine-British war, from one side, but not the other. But along came "Miral" and all the rules were broken. Because it involved Israel, and not nations with far more clout in the UN system, the protest fell on deaf ears. The show went on and, once again, Israel got the short end of the stick. The writer is executive director of the American Jewish Committee and a senior associate at St. Antony's College, Oxford University. 2011-03-18 00:00:00Full Article
