University Lefties Censor Obsession, What a Shock!
Following on the heels of Newsweek’s outrageous smear piece on Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the New York Times takes out a hit on the film Obsession: Film’s View of Islam Stirs Anger on Campuses.
And they dig up a rabbi to do it:
Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller, director of U.C.L.A. Hillel, called the documentary propaganda and said it was “a way to transfer the Middle East conflict to the campus, to promote hostility.”
The rabbi that the New York Times dug up to co-sign their smear job is a far-left anti-Zionist Peace Now creep who recently settled out of court, for a physical attack on pro-Israel writer Rachel Neuwirth in 2003.
For the full story, click here to go to the tzaddikim at Little Green Footballs.
Meanwhile over at the invaluable blog Kesher, Yehudit covers the Obsession controversy over at NYU, where, get this, another, er, rabbi, enables the Muslim "activists."
Click here to order Obsession, the movie, and to see powerful clips. This is a great film.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Oich mir a rabbi.

we should support organizations like these that challenge universities' attempt to censor politically incorrect speeches

Thanks so much for the link. Has this organization done anything to support Obsession?

Thanks so much for the link. Seraphic Secret is well aware of Chaim Seidler-Feller's unprovoked physical assault on Rachel Neuwirth and the subsequent liberal conspiracy to blame the victim. Such is the mind-set of the "progressive peaceniks." We would expect nothing less from that fine crowd of terrorist enablers.
