De Son Vivont..
It’s not unusual to find non-professional actors breaking out at the Cannes Film Festival. But those who do, don’t often come with a medical degree.
In De Son Vivant (Peaceful), the new film from French director Emmanuelle Bercot, a man refuses to accept his terminal illness. The cancer specialist who handholds him through this torturous process is played by real-life oncologist Dr Gabriel Sara, a Lebanese-born medic who has lived in New York for the past 40 years.
Acting opposite established French stars Benoit Magimel, who plays Benjamin, “a failed actor” with incurable stage four pancreatic cancer, and Catherine Deneuve as his controlling mother Crystal, the good doctor more than holds his own, playing his role with humanity and honesty.
At the premiere on Saturday at the festival’s plush Lumiere theatre, the film's cast and crew received a standing ovation. “First of all, I didn’t feel it was for me,” Sara explains, modestly. “I felt all along that we were a family on this movie.”

Plan..
In August 2014, Moshe Feiglin, then-deputy speaker of the Israeli Knesset and member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party, called for the destruction of Palestinian life in Gaza and offered a detailed plan for shipping Palestinians living in Gaza across the world. Specifically, he envisioned a scenario where the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would find areas on the Sinai border to establish “tent encampments... until relevant emigration destinations are determined.” He further suggested that the IDF would then “exterminate nests of resistance, in the event that any should remain.”

The Cure..
Joe Biden gave Israel a clear green light to continue its military campaign in Gaza, and endorsed its claim that Hamas has been using the al-Shifa hospital as a command and control headquarters.
The raid on the al-Shifa hospital (Arabic word means the Cure) has not been seen in Israel and the American press as quite the slam-dunk moment.
The evidence produced so far, is at best ambiguous, and at worst underwhelming.
The Jerusalem Post analysis, broadly supported by New York Times investigations, asked how 2,000 Hamas fighters had evaporated. Another intelligence failure?
Comment:
After five weeks of the Israel bombing of Gaza and the massive death of civilians, are they winning the hearts of the Israelites, the Jewish people at large, the US, the Allies, the Islamic World the Arabic world and finally the Christian hearts.
Did the Cure become worse than the disease?
Welcome to the new values of Human Rights, Biden, Netanyahu's Combo.
Anti..
Gaza is becoming a "graveyard for children", U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on Monday, amplifying demands for a ceasefire in the enclave, where Palestinian health authorities said the death toll from Israeli strikes had exceeded 10,000.
America's Muslims are not happy with the killing in Gaza. The Muslim and Arabic world are not happy with the Bombing and killing of Palestinians in Gaza.
Christians in this country and around the world are not happy with the shutting down food, water and fuel on kids, women, elderly and civilians in Gaza.
Yet Biden and his administration's support to this action call it "A US National Security" is a beyond.......
Just a thought.
