Jennifer Hsu, big mouth (note the name of the pic file): 
Hsu, a "Boycott Israeler" spoke out of turn for her festival. A statement front and center on the festival's web site reads:
For the record, the San Diego Women Film Foundation and Festival is NOT boycotting Israeli films. We are hopeful that filmmakers from the Israeli community will continue to submit films. Actions regarding the Festival Director will be dealt with internally. Again, our deepest and most sincere apologies. If you have any comments or questions, please email us at comments@sdwff.org.
- San Diego Women Film Foundation Board of Directors
You really have to keep an eye on these fanatics, especially if you hire them to run something.

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

Good for the SDWFF, and extra kudos to it for the direct apology (not one of those mealy-mouthed, "I'm sorry if you were offended" non-apologies).

"feminist" and "Arabist" at the same time, eh? Someone send this moonbat off for a stint cooking and cave-keeping for the Taliban.
We all know that LEFTIST, PROGRESSIVE, SOCIALIST, QUEER CHICKS who support "PaleSWINE" and who get HYSTERICAL if you call them "honey", "baby", "toots", "mama", or stare at them or don't pay them as much as a man, I wonder how they will react if they fully immerse themselves in the "Islamic" World for an extended period where they have to cover their face, body, walk BEHIND a man, can't drive, can't work outside the home, be beaten or killed for insulting your families "honor", be subject to the whim of the Koran thumping "religious police".
Jennifer Hsu "baby", lets see you adopt the life of a woman in a country ruled by Mohammeds Sharia law.
Tell us which World is better for a woman. Tell us which country you would boycott over oppression of womens rights.
