Paradise Now... boycotted??

I don't get it. For those of you who have not heard of this movie, Paradise Now is a Palestinian film that follows two young suicide bombers as they prepare for their "mission." The young men encounter a woman who opposes suicide bombing, and this among other things causes them to rethink what they are about to do.

This movie is great. It gives you a glimpse of the daily lives of the Palestinian people, why they feel the way they do, but also why suicide bombing is WRONG. This movie is clearly against terrorism of any kind. Despite this, there appears to be some right-wing opposition to the fact that this film has been nominated for an Oscar for best foreign film. I would question whether any of these people have actually SEEN the movie..

Anyhow, if you have seen the movie, and you agree that it should NOT be withdrawn as a nominee for the foreign language Oscar, here is a petition to keep it: http://www.petitiononline.com/para222/petition.html. (This was started because there is apparently a petition to have the movie withdrawn).
