DEFAMATION - Theatrical Trailer

http://firstrunfeatures.com/defamation_synopsis.html

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?

Speaking with an array of people from across the political spectrum (including the head of the Anti-Defamation League and its fiercest critic, author Norman Finkelstein) and traveling to places like Auschwitz (alongside
Israeli school kids) and Brooklyn (to explore reports of violence against Jews), Shamir discovers the realities of anti-Semitism today. His findings are shocking, enlightening and - surprisingly - often wryly funny.

I never heard any Jews complaining about the 3 million people who died in Somalia, or the 5 million people who died in Cambodia - both at the hands of genocidal maniacs. I love the Jewish people. But the Jewish "industry" has turned guilt over the holocaust into something that must be forced down the non-jewish populations' throats - and I'm sick of it.

As another commenter has pointed out, the ADL has recognized the Armenian genocide and other genocides.

Now that Turkey is distancing itself from Israel and is no longer a close ally, that may well change.

No they didn't and to this day they VERY actively making sure the resolution recognizing Armenian genocide doesn't pass in the Congress. The statement they made using G-word in 2007 under a whole lot of pressure after many towns disengaged with ADL programs following their position on Armenian Genocide, is a crafted PR trick nevertheless culminating with a very specific message that they will not support the resolution.

@Brandonduboff I think it's in reference to the Anti-Defamation League which is mostly involved in defending the rights of Jews and Israel.
