Victims of Palestinian terror are trying to fight Hollywood:

A group of Israelis who lost children to Palestinian suicide bombings appealed on Wednesday to organisers of next week's Academy Awards to disqualify a film exploring the reasoning behind such attacks.

The bereaved parents said they had gathered more than 32,000 signatures on a petition against the nomination in the best foreign film category of "Paradise Now", a drama about two West Bank friends recruited to blow themselves up in Tel Aviv.

The controversial film was made by an Israeli Arab director and actors working with a Palestinian crew and locations. The producer was a Jewish Israeli and the funding was European.

Yossi Zur, whose teenage son Asaf was killed in a bus bombing, accused the film of sympathetically portraying a tactic hailed by many Palestinians waging a 5-year-old uprising.

"What they call 'Paradise Now' we call 'hell now', each and every day," Zur told reporters. "It is a mission of the free world not to give such movies a prize."

I believe that the appropriate response to Hollywood's rewarding the depiction of brutal, bloody crimes is to re-enact the brutal killing of every Hollywood star ever killed or murdered. Remind Hollywood that they too have been touched by death in a horribly unpleasant way, usually with the help of deranged stalkers or their own inner demons.

Start with a stabbing of Sal Mineo. Do it right there on the street in front of the ceremony. Wail away at the man with rubber knives and leave him spilling fake blood in the street like a slaughtered calf.

Then have someone dressed as James Dean wreck their car. Perhaps by smashing into a Jayne Mansfield impersonator who then tosses a fake severed head into the crowd.

Any Hollywood stars dead from prolonged, agonizing illnesses? Yeah, trot out people make up to look like the living, rotting husks going to what would be their last ceremony before finally getting warehoused in the Old Actor's Home, never to be seen alive again.

Maybe by reminding Hollywood that beauty is only skin deep but evil is pervasive that they'll look in the mirror and see beyond their makeup again.

(You know, if this had been a film glorifying the fight against Arab and Islamic terror, they'd just smash a plane into the Kodak Theater to stop the ceremony.)
