  • Summary: Intent on shaking up the ultimate ‘sacred cow’ for Jews, 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? (First Run Features) Expand

  1. This brave documentary takes on the topic of anti-Semitism in a relentlessly probing and original way.
  2. Like Moore's modus, Shamir's stroll is sloppy, but his willingness to tip sacred cows is truly courageous.
  3. The most affecting scenes, however, involve the class of Israeli teenagers visiting Auschwitz.

    What makes an important film-maker? someone who asks questions others dare not utter. in this sense this film explores questions that are on most peoples mind but dare not ask. Jews the world over are incredibly powerful, and more power to them, in which case it begs the question, where is the anti-semitism thats rife and out to create another holocaust? in the words of a contributor 'Jews have never had it so good'. they place too much importance and attention on themselves, always believing themselves to be the victims in every incident, to the detriment of everyone else.highly recommended, unless you're a Zionist, in which case this brief review makes me an anti-semite.
