What is Antisemitism today, two generations after the Holocaust? In his continuing exploration of modern Israeli life, director Yoav Shamir travels the world in search of the most modern manifestations of the "oldest hatred", and comes up with some startling answers.
In this irreverent quest, he follows American Jewish leaders to the capitals of Europe, as they warn government officials of the growing threat of Antisemitism, and he tacks on to a class of Israeli high school students on a pilgrimage to Auschwitz.
On his way, Shamir meets controversial historian, Norman Finkelstein, who offers his views on the manner that Antisemitism is being used by the Jewish community and especially Israel for political gain. He also joins scholars, Stephen M. Walt and John J. Mearsheimer, while they give a lecture in Israel following the release of their book "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy", about the disproportional influence the Israel lobby in Washington enjoys.
Yoav visits Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem, the must stop for all world leaders on their visits to Israel. While in Jerusalem, he drops by the house of his grandmother that offers her insight on the issue and declares that she is the "real Jew".
Funny how they have a specialized word for someone who "hates" the Jews, but there's nothing of the sort for many other forms of hatred, discrimination or racism. It's like Jews belong to some special sort of category.

In 1956 there were four more massacres: 56 in Gaza City, 50 of Israel's Arab citizens at Kafr Kassem, 275 at Khan Yunis, and 111 at Rafah Refugee Camp."

"The Talmud claims that the Romans slew 4 billion Jews. The blood of the Jewish victims was so great that it became a tidal wave, carrying boulders out to sea, and staining the water for four miles out. The bodies of the Jews were used as fence-posts, and their blood as fertilizer for the Roman vineyards. The Jewish children were wrapped up in their Torah scrolls and burned alive-all 64 million of them"

Unless you can understand how Jews can dress up as Nazis in order to terrify their fellow Jews you know nothing of Judaism. They do so in order to keep the myth of a pure Jewish blood line alive. They do so to keep Jews and Gentiles from "mixing" and
"polluting the holy seed" - which is what the Nürnberg laws were really all about.
