Sony CEO on Middle East: Let Them All Kill Each Other (Except Israel)

[Nike]

Utterly shameful, he should be sacked, and anyone else involved should receive the same punishment. We can't have people like this be part of Sony Corp.

first he is talking as an individual or as a CEO of Company? and those E-mails, is only for internal publication within Sony entertainment itself or are for public records?

Second, i thing every person, every sane person must have their personal opinion about some issue or topics, although some will be twisted enough based on his own experience, knowledge, agenda and political biases. But it's not matter, it's all about freedom of expression. The matter here is why the so called internal records can be made public? what is objective of the so called whistleblower?

Third, there is nothing wrong about his opinion, indeed Middle East is a whole gigantic messy places to live on for any sane human. Without Israel there, most of Arabs country or tribal will kill each other just like before. The existence of Israel somehow made the Arabs realize there is possibility for them to cooperate each other about some issue.....

Hara Kiri !

Thats an overkill and besides the samurai are extinct !

No, its not. In fact, the Japanese Lead Engineer in Turkey killed himself a month ago after an issue with the bridge development. He took full responsibility of the failure, wrote an letter of apology to the Turkish Government, and an apology to his family. He then hung himself.

Suicide is not an over-kill for a mere mistake ?

The next time you make a mistake on your thesis....are you telling me that you'd perform Hara Kiri with a pair of chopsticks ?

Sane people 'resign' they don't 'hang' themselves; only those who are do something like that !

 

[fallstuff]

Arab world is probably a much bigger market than Israel, with all those guys dead, he will lose money !!!

If wishes were horses.............

Different strokes for different folks.

Very solid points, Maam. These emails were intended for internal consumption and were private emails. I'm assuming the whistle-blower is a disenfranchised individual, perhaps someone who was recently terminated.

man, I like Portman, why Natalie, why!!!!!????? She was my teenage crush. The world is a cruel place, this is why I never want to meet any celebrities.

Be a pretty face and that's it, leave the thinking to those that can.

You may disagree with him because of some reason but what he has said is a truth. This is already happening and unlikely to stop.

 

[Swaha]

Well that's what is happening...they're already killing each other every day.

No 'illegal spying' or 'misuse of power': Sony amends wording on Snowden biopic description – leaked e-mails
Published time: April 20, 2015 18:56

Internal Sony emails, released by Wikileaks, confirm that the company edited the press release announcing its Edward Snowden biopic to be less critical of the US government and NSA surveillance, following input from Sony’s VP for Government Affairs.

Sony announced it had obtained the film rights to Glenn Greenwald’s book “No place to hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the US Surveillance State” on May 14, 2014. According to emails acquired by Wikileaks, Keith Weaver, the company’s Executive Vice-President for Worldwide Government Affairs proposed edits to the release that would remove “illegal spying” and “misuse of power” from the original.

Responding to Sony’s senior VP for media relations, Jean Guerin, at 6:49 PM on May 13, Weaver wrote:

"I have a few concerns/edits:

2nd paragraph, 1st sentence: Instead of ‘U.S. government’s illegal spying operations,’ I’d propose ‘US government’s controversial intelligence gathering’

2nd paragraph, last sentence: I would replace ‘misuse of power’ with ‘actions.’

Best,

KW"

(source: Wikileaks)

The final press release dropped the word “controversial” as well:

"Greenwald's highly-anticipated book examines the journalist's personal involvement in working with Snowden to break numerous stories about the US government's intelligence gathering operations. The book is both a thrilling personal narrative of the events as they unfolded, and an important historical reflection on the broader implications of the NSA's activities."

The edits were first brought up in December last year by The Intercept. At the time, Greenwald said he was “not surprised, that an internal Sony lobbyist diluted the press release draft in order to avoid upsetting the government.”

By then, Oliver Stone had already secured the rights to the books from Snowden’s Russian lawyer and the Guardian reporter Luke Harding, and stated his intentions to film a rival biopic. Titled simply “Snowden,” the film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the title role, with Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto, Tom Wilkinson, Rhys Ifans, Joely Richardson and Timothy Olyphant rounding off the rest of the cast. The film is scheduled for release in December 2015.

“This will beat our Snowden project to market and therefore ours is unlikely to happen,” wrote Sony executive Doug Belgrad, according to The Intercept. The company has not officially abandoned its Snowden movie, but its fate remains unknown.

Jews are like that, their is a reason why they faced so many pogroms and genocides

Its nothing new

What they dont realise is that the muslim population is 1.7 billion and will grow to be the biggest faith over the coming decades

Its increasing in population by hundreds of millions each year

As horrendous as the wars in eg Syria are they are a necessity to wake up the region from the old order, the death toll isnt a patch on the overall population increase


Israel is now around 20% muslim/arab and growing quick, they already out number the jews across Gaza, Israel and the West Bank

Yes but Jews are united/advanced, while Muslims its true are many but divided and busy killing each other in the name of their own religion while the world looks on and shake their heads in disbelieve. So what he said is true its offensive, but it should indeed make Muslims in the middle east introspect what went wrong.

No numbers are isn't always everything. They count little in making people united/ advanced and developed/Forward looking. If numbers really counted as you said, then the U.S/west wouldn't be ruling the world in the first place, China,India would.

Bro, u always tell the truth here ... but just nobody really care it, might get u into the trouble.
My opinion, is just leave the Midde-East alone ... we do nothing.

 

[Donatello]

If it wasn't for Israel, there wouldn't be no mess.

True talk bro

Ahahahahah.... You are Spot on dude. But then again some people have their ow weird way of looking at life. So better to just end it all.

If it wasn't for Israel, there wouldn't be no mess.

Yes Israel is the root of all evil in this world. They are the ones who even made Lucifer the devil. All other human beings are saints/peaceful.
