Subject: SUICIDE BOMBER: HEROIC ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG FRENCH READERS IN NEW BOOK

Just when you think the world could not be any crazier, this sort of thing
crosses your screen.

a colleague forwarded this to me from the Wiesenthal Center.

>SUICIDE BOMBER: HEROIC ROLE MODEL FOR YOUNG FRENCH READERS IN NEW BOOK
>
>A newly released best-selling novel for teens, Rever la Palestine (Dream
>of Palestine), sympathetically portrays a young Palestinian who becomes a
>suicide bomber. The fifteen-year-old Egyptian author, Randa Ghazi, who
>lives with her family in Italy, writes about Palestinian teenagers who
>fight 'bloodthirsty Jews, who assassinate children and old people,
>profane mosques, and rape Arab women.'
>
>Dream of Palestine is being touted as 'surprisingly mature' and 'a great
>text of suffering and hope.' One of the novel's heroes calls for Jihad
>against the Jews who are 'a doomed people' and to 'kill all Israelis.'
>The main character is encouraged 'to kill hundreds in his suicide
>bombing' and later does blow himself up along with five Israelis.
>
>Released to coincide with the Christmas season, and inexpensively priced,
>Dream of Palestine has quickly sold out in major bookstores in Paris. It
>has been released by Flammarion, the third largest publishing house in
>France, a subsidiary of the Italian media giant, Rizzoli Corriere della
>Sera, which includes among its holdings one of the largest Italian daily
>newspapers and Rizzoli bookstores in the United States.
>
>The Wiesenthal Center is urging Amazon France and other French online
>websites to stop selling the book which is full of libelous accusations
>and which clearly incites racist violence and validates terrorism. The
>themes in this book could serve as the basis for litigation.
>
>WE MUST ACT NOW to raise our voices in protest of this horrific book. The
>Jewish community of France has launched a protest, but more, much more
>needs to be done...
>
>Click here to join in our protest to the publishers in France and the
>parent company in Italy.

>Please support the work of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
