I particularly liked the fact that this documentary was written by an Israeli Jew.
I think this commentary i found on the movie's official site describes quite well what are the questions this documentary tries to answer:
"Is anyone who expresses anti-Zionist opinions necessarily also anti-Semitic? Is anti-Semitism itself still an endemic and dangerous global problem? Has remembering the Holocaust become an unhealthy obsession, perhaps with a hidden agenda? Will readers regard a Jewish critic as a self-hating Jew just for considering Israeli helmer Yoav Shamir's personal, occasionally irreverent "Defamation" an ace slice of provocative, timely docu-making?"
Overall, i thought it was a little tendentious but not biased (if that makes any sense) :o).
If you have the chance to watch it (and are interested on the subject), do see it!
