Defamation

Today i watched a very interesting documentary on Anti-Semitism. In short, it tries to find the answer to the question: is there really an anti-semitic feeling "around the world"?






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!
