Could Exodus Get To The Screen Today?
Torah Portion says that Stephen Spielberg is no friend of Israel:
For some time I’ve asked this question – would Leon Uris get “Exodus” to the screen in this climate? I keep coming up with the same answer. No! Things have changed and not only for movies but for books as well. Again, personal experience, as with my latest, “The Bathsheba Deadline,” that’s running as a serial on Amazon.com.

Trouble Commenting?
Me, too.
For some reason, the blacklist was not allowing anyone to comment, because it thought that they were commenting too many times in too short a period of time, even if it was only one comment.
I’ve bypassed that section of the code for now–I don’t have time to figure out why it was screwing up.
