Part of channel(s): Israeli director Yoav Shamir embarks on a provocative - and at times irreverent - quest to answer the question, "What is anti-Semitism today?"
Does it remain a dangerous and immediate threat?
Or is it a scare tactic used by right-wing Zionists to discredit their critics?
Speaking with an array of people from across the political spectrum (including the head of the Anti-Defamation League and its fiercest critic, author Norman Finkelstein) and traveling to places like Auschwitz (alongside Israeli school kids) and Brooklyn (to explore reports of violence against Jews), Shamir discovers the realities of anti-Semitism today.
His findings are shocking, enlightening and - surprisingly - often wryly funny.
Among those he interviews are Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League, who is adamant that anti-Semitism is rife and must be exposed; while Norman Finkelstein, author of "The Holocaust Industry: The Exploitation of Jewish Suffering," claims that anti-Semitism is being used for political gain.
Opinions differ and tempers flare but Shamir's directness and wry humour, as shown in his other films including "Checkpoint," "5 Days and Flipping Out," elevate the mood as he tackles extremely difficult questions.

@-AL- exactly... It just hasn't surfaced..
Which means people are paranoid and have social difficulties.
Am I speaking about the jews... of course i am. Is that anti semitic...? of course its not.
Its just like saying the irish eat too much salt.
Or priests say too many prayers.
but in the case of the Israeli people.. nobody other than other propaganda hats hate them.
and even then, the only line they have is a misquote from Akmadinajad to go on.
Sure thats almost as bad as the More..

I don't think anti-Semitism is all about hating Jews. I have lot's of Jewish friends. I think a lot of people blame Israel for all the troubles with the Arab countries, and because America aids them, they can do what ever they want in that part of the world.

An anti semite is literally anyone who disagrees with Israel even on the most innocuous of topics. I have about as much concern about being labelled an anti-semite as I do about being labelled an infidel by Muslims or a sinner/blasphemer/heretic by Christians. If anything I'm proud to bear such labels.

VERY GOOD DOCUMENTARY - THE CAMERA DOESNT LIE- IF ANYONE HAS WATCHED THIS, READ "THE HOLOCAUST INDUSTRY" BY NORMAN FINKELSTEIN WHOSE FAMILY WERE MURDERED IN AUSWITCH. THE MONEY THAT IS BEING MADE FROM THE LEGACY OF THE HOLOCAUST IS ASTOUNDING. THE ZIONISTS ARE RAKING IT IN, WHILE CAUSING A FURORE AROUND ANTI-SEMITISM WHICH RARELY EXISTS IN EUROPE OR AMERICA. IF ANYTHING THEY FAIL TO MENTION THAT ANTI-ISRAELI FEELING IS NOT ANTI-SEMITISM. PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP!

@HailToTheSkunk
wait a minute: arabs are semitic indeed, sefarad (jews who look like arabs) are semitic.
Ashkenaze are white jews originated from a nomad tribe: the khazar who converted to judaism, in the 7th century, then spread in europe, thus they are not semitic.
If tommorow you succeed to convert to judaism, you may claim that Palestine is your land.
To say the truth, the ancestors of the old jewish who lived in Palestine, are the sefarad, and the palestinians (!) who converted to Is More..

"Defamation" is neither enlightening, nor edifying, nor compelling. It distorts the prevalence and impact of anti-Semitism and cheapens the Holocaust. It is Shamir's perverse, personal, political perspective and a missed opportunity to document a serious and important issue.
Rather than document anti-Semites and their hatred of Jews and the Jewish State of Israel, the film belittles the issue!
His obvious leftist rhetoric is clearly displayed in the way he represents this documenta More..
