(New York, NY – March 3, 2010) Tens of thousands are supporting Israel this week and standing up against the anti-Semitic rhetoric that has plagued North American campuses. This effort is being driven by an exclusive clip gone viral of Crossing the Line: The Intifada Comes to Campus which highlights the insidious environment where Jews are verbally and even physically attacked on campus.
The release of this film coincides with Israel Apartheid Week which this year has failed to successfully spew its heinous propaganda that conquered headlines in previous years.
“People are finally beginning to call Israel Apartheid Week what it is, pure and simple anti-Semitism,” explains Wayne Kopping, Director of Crossing the Line. “This film has opened the eyes of many, and thankfully as a result people are starting to understand that Israel has been falsely accused.”
Canada has recently been at the forefront of controversy, housing some of the most violent campaigns. However, this year, politicians are not only taking notice but they are standing up for Israel.
“I salute the Canadian and Ontario governments’ condemnation of Israel Apartheid Week and I strongly believe that other countries should follow in their footsteps,” stated Kopping. “Freedom of speech is one thing, but the demonization, delegitimization and double standard that Israel is held to have clearly crossed the line.”
For a limited time, a condensed version of the film is now available on the documentary’s official website: www.campusintifada.com, which has been visited by close to 100,000 people in just one week.
Wayne Kopping, Director of the film is now available for interviews.
