...McGirk's piece on Israel: while it's true that certain Arab leaders (though not Palestinians) have spoken of "pushing the Israelis into the sea," I am at a loss to find even one instance of Israelis speaking of "driving the Arabs into the desert sands" [May 19].

We're meant to attend all 21 features in competition for the Palme d'Or, plus special screenings (like Sunday's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), and another 20 or so in the sidebar program called Un Certain Regard. But there are times when a Pied Piper stands outside our classroom, luring us to play hooky...
