Disneyland of War, short documentary

The U.S. government is manipulating children to think that war and violence is fun and glorious.
Please share this video and consider a donation here:

We made this film with no funds and need some help to be able to cover fees at film festivals and public events to be able to share this message.

Director Chris Smiley and Producer Mike Hanes, an Iraq War combat veteran, challenge the glorification of war and violence in our culture while exposing the propaganda of the Miramar military air show. This air show is one of many outlets where war and violence is given a warm, inviting, and exciting aura. The utter horror and brutality is never understood by so many. Promoting a positive image of war and violence to people, especially children, is extremely dangerous. There is absolutely nothing cool, exciting, or heroic about ripping limbs, burning flesh, or shredding the organs of another human being. We need the public to understand the horrific nature of war and violence to be able to stand firm and vigorously question calls for war.

As a veteran myself I can say this is pretty spot on. While I've been to the Miramar Air Show a couple times and enjoyed the aerobatics, I was always disturbed by site of kids checking some of these weapons out and wanting to grow up one day to actually use them. War may be a necessary reality some times but it should NEVER be glorified under any circumstances.

Sign at future San Diego Jewish center vandalized with threatening graffiti

Threatening graffiti was written on a sign announcing the future home of the University of California San Diego Hillel Jewish Center in the United States.

This is very sad, I lived in San Diego for 13 years and still consider it a second home. But, to be very honest, this doesn't surprise me at all. I experienced more (real) antisemitism during my time in San Diego than I had in my entire life previous to living there. It's just reality that outside of LA and New York it's just more common (although I have experienced it in LA too - particularly during my time at USC which has a history of looking the other way at bigotry when it's directed at Jews).
