(Israel Project) Yossi Zur - This week the Hollywood Foreign Press Association awarded the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film to the Palestinian movie "Paradise Now." The film follows the path taken by two young Palestinians from their decision to become suicide bombers until the moment they board a Tel Aviv bus crowded with children. "Paradise Now" is a very professional production, created with great care for detail. It is also an extremely dangerous piece of work. My son Asaf was almost 17 years old when one day after school he boarded a bus later boarded by a suicide bomber. Of the 17 people killed, nine were schoolchildren aged 18 or younger. Asaf was killed on the spot. Awarding a movie such as "Paradise Now" only implicates the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in the evil chain of terror that attempts to justify these horrific acts.
