  • NORMAN MCLAREN RETROSPECTIVE at Moma
    The Museum of Modern Art 50th Anniversary NO. 7 no FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NORMAN MCLAREN RETROSPECTIVE AT MoMA As part of NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA: A RETROSPECTIVE, Norman McLaren, master animator and founder of the Board's an­ imation unit in 1941, will be honored with a retrospective of virtually all the films he made at NFBC. Part One of MoMA's NFBC Retrospective, ANIMATION, runs from January 22 through February 16, and presents a survey of 150 animated films. Five programs of the extraordinary and influential work of Norman McLaren will be presented from February 12 through 16. "Animation came to the National Film Board of Canada in 1941 with the person of Norman McLaren. In 1943, after having recruited George Dunning, Jim MacKay and Grant Munro, it was McLaren who was put in charge of the first animation workshop. The earliest films were craftsmanlike, having a more utilitarian than aesthetic character. After the war the time of the artist came about. The spirit and goals of the animation unit changed; the styles and techniques became more and more refined leading to today's sophisticated animation." —Louise Beaudet, Head of Animation Department, Cinematheque quebecoise, Montreal "Norman McLaren (Stirling, Scotland, 1914) completed his first abstract films in 1933 while a student at the Glasgow School of Art, Here he attracted the attention of John Grierson, who invited the young man upon graduation to make promotional films for the General Post Office in London. McLaren worked for the GPO from 1936 until 1939 when, at the onset of war, he moved to New York.

  • Combating Online Hate Speech and Anti-Semitism
    WORKING PAPER SERIES Oxford Digital Diplomacy Research Group Oxford Department of International Development University of Oxford Corneliu Bjola and Ilan Manor Combating Online Hate Speech and Anti-Semitism DigDiploROx Working Paper No 4 (Jan 2020) I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The spread of hate speech and anti-Semitic content has become endemic to social media. Faced with a torrent of violent and offensive content, nations in Europe have begun to take measures to remove such content from social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. However, these measures have failed to curtail the spread, and possible impact of anti-Semitic content. Notably, violence breeds violence and calls for action against Jewish minorities soon lead to calls for violence against other ethnic or racial minorities. Online anti-Semitism thus drives social tensions and harms social cohesion. Yet the spread of online anti-Semitism also has international ramifications as conspiracy theories and disinformation campaigns now often focus on WWII and the Holocaust. On Nov 29, 2019, the Oxford Digital Diplomacy Research Group (DigDiploROx) held a one-day symposium at the European Commission in Brussels. The symposium brought together diplomats, EU officials, academics and civil society organizations in order to search for new ways to combat the rise in online anti-Semitism. This policy brief offers an overview of the day’s discussions, the challenges identified and a set of solutions that may aid nations looking to stem the flow of anti- Semitic content online. Notably, these solutions, or recommendations, are not limited to the realm of anti-Semitism and can to help combat all forms of discrimination, hate and bigotry online.

  • Debunking 18 Claims Justifying the Gaza Massacre
    Debunking 18 Claims Justifying the Gaza Massacre By Riham Darwish Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, May 21, 2018 Theme: Crimes against Humanity, Law and Mondoweiss 17 May 2018 Justice, Media Disinformation, Police State & Civil Rights In-depth Report: PALESTINE After spending a great deal of time online, I read and watched endless virtual conversations about who’s at fault and who’s not in the wake of the over 60 casualties in Gaza on Monday. Discussions varied from whether Israel is exercising a righteous act of self-defense, or if Palestinians are legitimately organizing a peaceful protest; whether it is a conflict between two equals who are both guilty, or it is between an army of a state and an occupied territory packed with civilians? It’s mind-blowing how people have the energy to keep repeating the same claims over and over again for days and weeks, ignoring outside information. That is why I have decided to spare others the time, effort, and emotion, by writing out the most common claims I have seen regarding the events of the Great March of Return, followed by my responses. Those interested in fact-checking these common falsehoods, can find them in one place. The one claim that I will not deal with, one of the most popular, is that of: “The Bible say God give the land of Israel to the Jewish people?” Fundamentalists, regardless of faith, will never see beyond their own holy books. This list isn’t for them and I won’t bother trying to change their minds.
