Written by

daviaki on

In April of 2007, David Akinin, Joel Wiznitzer and Alex Arabov, undertook the challenge of making their first Veteran-based documentary.

British Media Ramp Up the Jew-Baiting

Carol Gould, Pyjamas Media On December 4 I wrote an editorial for Pajamas Media about the scurrilous Channel Four television documentary presented by British conservative commentator Peter Oborne exposing the “power” of the Anglo-Jewish lobby. Now I would like to turn to some items following on that story. No sooner had the program aired than the Jew-avoidance champion [...]
