Orwellian Press Release of the Day --- The Israeli Consulate and "Waltz with Bashir"

The Israeli Consul for Media and Public Affairs in New York, David Saranga, has just sent out via Twitter: "Israel's 'Waltz with Bashir' on 1982 Lebanon War, wins Golden Globe for best foreign film".

Here are some comments on Waltz with Bashir, which I am certain have no relevance at all to the current conflict in Gaza:

"The message of the futility of war has rarely been painted with such bold strokes"; "an extraordinary, harrowing, provocative picture"; "will leave its mark forever on the ethics of war films".
