The Age: “Pulling some strings to discover the meaning of life”
Liza Power completely misrepresents Ken Loach, when she says he wanted Rosenthal banned from MIFF in “Pulling some strings to discover the meaning of life” (31/7). The world sat by for 22 days while 1400 were mercilessly killed by Israel’s “Operation Cast Lead” and [...]
