9-3-2013 'Room 514': Israeli Film Looks at Gender, Justice, Sexuality & the Occupation - Mira Sucharov Open Zion

http://www.thedailybeast.com/openzion.html Thanks to Netflix, viewers outside of Israel can catch a glimpse of a compelling 2012 Israeli film that premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.

G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), the caucus chairman, described a phone call he had with Ron Dermer, the Israeli ambassador to Washington who organized the invitation with Boehner, and who agreed to Boehner's request to keep it secret from the president and congressional Democrats. "During that telephone conversation I pleaded with the ambassador to seek a postponement of the joint session, but he dismissed that idea," Butterfield said.
