Defamation
An Israeli documentary on Anti-sematism made by an Israeli guy fascinated by it as it's something he always hears and reads about but has never experienced. It was quite interesting. Basically how there's a fictional belief and propagation of modern, new anti-sematism which isn't based on realities. Some use it for support of Israels right wing, others it's their whole cultural identity.
It had a conference on increasing anti-sematism is Israel, and in a 3 day conference where only one person brought up that it's not anti-sematism but the palestinian conflict people don't like and he was seen as being a lunatic. Criticism of Israels policies is just an excuse used by people who hate jews apparently.
School kids from Israel on a trip to Poland being warned it's a hostile country, and being frightened about neo-nazi gangs that'll get them. How they're broken down to feel the hatred and pain of the suffering of the holocoust, where when they get there they feel bad they don't feel the suffering. Just being brought up and made to feel they are hated every where. It is quite tragic really.
It was quite interesting, the main point was that all these movements are in the worst interest of Israel and basically the holocost should be used for learning and not exploited for such political agendas.
Obviously there is a side it's on, but it really wasn't all that political, it was just showing what's going on. Whether its Rabbi's saying it's BS, or letting American Jews and the Anti-Defamation League just show how ridiculous they are. It wasn't preaching or anything and didn't go into the conflict at all really, it was mentioned as people being made to think the worst thing ever in history has happened to them, makes them less receptive to the suffering of others.
It was on at the melbourne internation film festival.
