    American (and other) politicians know very well that if they do anything to displease Israel, they’re outta there.

    Very true. America has been created with Jewish money and they make sure they have control of their investment. I remember one of the presidents of Israel said something like "I don't care what American people think, I have the congress"

    but we both know that the suggestion above your post is probably the only peaceful solution.

    Yes, Israel would be getting lotsa cool points if they agreed to this. But highly unlikely. Their flag is a symbol that all the lands between two rivers is their land. I would be very surprised if they saddle anything less than this.

    Why can't we just make Jerusalem and open city (free state) move back to the 67 lines get some kind of corridor to join the 2 halves of the Palestinian lands

    Because Jews would never agree to this. I'm sure Palastinians would agree.

    Anyway the only solution is for Jerusalem to become a city state where both Jews and Palestinians can coexist in harmony like they err used to.

    Yes, and still are in most places. It's only the fanatics creating problem.

    Yes, because only a total ban would help the stocks recover.

    Another great work by Cove producers. You are our heroes. I hope they can charge all customers as well.

    Surely you can't be serious.

    Why not? Who would believe anything they say, if they shot the movie in another place? Like the Midnight Express. This is not fictional, it's showing exactely what's happening at which place. Surely it's not in film makers interest to lie about this. They don't have to lie, it is happening.

    Maybe the activist should be forking over the money from the movie and provide the Taiji with an education and new jobs.

    Ric has offered to pay them the same money they are making from dolphin hunt. Their response was, "it's not a matter of money, dolphins are pests and eating the fish we are after"

    Dolphins, in addition to being food, are also recognized in Taiji as crowd pleasers with their playful natures, leading to odd contrasts.

    They serve dolphin meat while people watch the dolphin show. They enjoy dolphins by watching them and eating them at the same time. Talking about the odd contrasts.

    do you know that USA forbidded Mexico to sell tuna meat because accidentally the fishermen kill dolphins?...

    That to me sounds like very heroic.

    bicultural,

    You know how I know that it's a lie? Because it's not in the interest of filmmakers to lie about something like that. Plus, the don't need to show somewhere else because this is mostly happening in Taiji. I've seen the movie, have you? Unless someone points out which scene is not filmed in Taiji, it's a lie, they are liers.

    I heard that they filmed some of the stuff outside of Taiji but made it seem as though the whole thing took place in Taiji.

    You heard wrong. No such thing has happened.

    fuss about the smallest town's matter?

    Dolphins don't belong to them or anyone. They are killing what's dear to most of the world. Dolphins pass bu all other nations, before they get slaughtered in Taiji.

    The Cove would have gotten a different reaction from the Japanese if the director was Japanese.

    If any J director tried to film it, he would have been assulted badly by the Taiji local yakuza and fisherman (actually the same thing). If he filmed it, showing that they defied warnings and went into the prohibited area, they'd be arrested, film would be confiscated and they'd serve jail sentence. Just like the greenpeace two, who tried to expose large embasselment with J-whaling program. Don't you know that already?

    While many of the scenes in the film are staged or misrepresented,

    Please give us an example of mispresentation in this movie. I don't believe there are any.

    Instead of slapping it in the majority of Japanese faces the activist should be educating the Japanese people about it in Japan before making a documentary.

    Activists wants to educate the J public by making this documentary. Do you know a better way how can a foreigner educate the J public? Would J listen anything coming from foreigners?

    Did the author do like Jay Leno and go out on the street and ask random people?

    Yes he did. If you have seen the movie, or at least the teaser, you'd know. I'm starting to think that you don't even know why you're against the moviemakers.
