DEFAMATION - Theatrical Trailer

http://firstrunfeatures.com/defamatio...

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.

1:17 "We've always been victimized. When the black guy sees two people walking down the street; a black person and a Jewish person, his choice to attack someone will not be a black person."

Here we see a Jewish person claiming victim status while in the same breath making a racist statement about blacks. When will the stupidity end?

'THEY" destroyed Professor Finklesteins career simply because he told the truth about Israel and Apartheid.

You have any comment on how Zionism (Israeli Nationalism) and illegal settlements on land that was once habitated by poor Palestinian farmers?

Would you say that Zionism and Zionists have committed ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians since 1948?

Would you say that what they have done & are doing is against the values of the anti defamation league?

@hsd628 You're so wrong, as a Jew, active in the Jewish community on my campus and in my city, I can tell you that I have always heard from my parents, friends, religious leaders, etc. that when we say "Never Again", we say for all genocides. We have raised money, we have marched, we have protested, all against genocides. Jews have been the most reactive community when it comes to genocide (just look at the Simon Wiesenthal Centre), so do your homework before you slander MY PEOPLE!

No, it's because he's a supporter of Hezbollah and Hamas who want to wipe out Israel altogether. Last I checked, not wanting someone to exist is PRETTY DAMN GENOCIDAL! I think Palestinians, especially Muslims, need to grow up and quit pretending they're the victim when Israel fights back after being attacked.

@hsd628

It's pretty easy when you purposefully ignore any Jews that do and give them a deaf ear becase you're a fucking bigot.

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

[KarineDemurchian]

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.

[DavidL999]

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

Can't wait to see this!

Poor old Norman accused of hating himself because he's critical of jewish holocaust exploiters.
