I wonder if these sour-faced propagandists have any idea that they're slapping a kosher seal of validation on all the worst modern blood libels against Israel, warming the hearts of all the world's Jew haters and that they're putting a bull's eye on the back of every Jew on earth?
Or that they're sadly re-enacting one of the uglier aspects of Jewish history, where the heretic decides he can no longer stand with his people and decides to sell them out to Jew haters, as a way to both morally preen and to maintain social status? (Which rarely turns out well.)
Or is the approval of the West's cultural aristocrats and a stroll down the red carpet worth it?
I'm guessing that as with most of the lost souls of the modern West and children of the postmodern Academy, they know very little except their pure hearts and feelings, which are always infallible and always exist on a higher plane. And they also know that to be part of the cultural aristocracy in our age of conspicuous compassion means to be always performing your concern for the downtrodden and the wretched of the earth, which in 2026 means lining up to feel the pain of the newest sacred victim, the Palestinian.
Of course this also means that the more you love and center the Palestinian, the more you have to despise and denounce the Jew among nations, Israel, but I guess this is hard to see from the glare of your halo and the popping flash bulbs in your eyes.
Once again the Christian West has set up a worldview and system of morality that posits Jews as its anti-Christ and as the demon that must be vanquished to save the world, and once again a cohort of upscale Jews has fallen for it, hoping to sell their souls to save their skins.
Again clear example of another misguided attempt at Tikun Olam by Jews who have little understanding of the Torah and its teachings! It’s no different with Liberal Jews here in America like Jewish Michigan AG (Nessel) in her Queen Esther moment (NOT) who stated that Jews should vote for the antisemite democratic candidate, El-Sayed, b/c Jews should care more about saving humanity than their own safety!! You can’t make this stuff up -> total ignorance of Judaism!!
These are Erev Rav’s. We have been dealing with them ever since we left Egypt. Who started the blood libels against Jews in Medieval England? A Jewish convert. Who was responsible for the burning of the Talmud and worse? Jews who converted to Catholicism and became priests. On and on. We can’t call them Kapos because they really had no choice. These two free odious people have made faux documentaries, including this one why the hostages were suffering in Gaza in cahots with one of the most anti-Israel blood libelling newspapers in the world, the UK’s Guardian. They are traitors. Strip them of their citizenship and let them go live in Gaza or Europe. They don’t deserve to come back to Israel and pollute it with their poisonous venom.
Nailed it again, and again, and again, Joshua. All the most flawed, hypocritical and biased arguments are brought to bear on Israel and the willfully ignorant spectators applaud the Emperor’s new clothes.
An excellent essay, Joshua. I find it incredible that given that we are in the midst of the Yamim Noraim (a time when each Jew recalibrates or re-orients his/her internal compass or priorities) that you have these two (obviously liberal Israeli filmmakers) who decide on doing the polar opposite (trying to discredit both the IDF and the State of Israel) I hope that they will be investigated by the both the military and civilian judiciary. In view of the memories of all the brave IDF soldiers and hostages who lost their lives to these savages I find this so absolutely shameful and reckless!!
"The more emotionally explosive the comparison, the more rigorous the evidence required to sustain it." Real evidence exonerating Israel is NOT on the agenda of these Jew-haters. The key word is "emotionally" because that's what regressives do. They think that whining and crying bolster their attacks on the Jewish state. All I can say to Israelis and Jewish folks everywhere is hang tough.
Israel used to be the canary in the coal mine but now in light of woke fashion twitching into a pro Islamic pretzel, Israel in now the international punching bag in the naughty corner and government ministers (various so-called democracies) show their governments' loyalty and submission to Islamic cause on their social media accounts, generous grants to Islamic issues and using their old boys network to proclaim relentless stochastic violence against any Jews regardless of whether they are Zionists such as Adass and Chabad etc. And block inquiries.
I find the world is so uneducated about Israel and Arab nations! Moreover, so ignorant of history. Everyone should spend a month in Israel and another in any Arab led country before having an opinion. However I realize I am living in a wishful fantasy. We as humans are given so many useful tools, yet misuse them. Lies and propaganda become slogans for the lazy. Sometimes I wish I had the money for these twisted liberals to send them all a one way ticket to the Gaza they support, and a laptop and read their writing a month later. Joshua, I love all of your articles, especially this fact:
Jewish children were not killed because German officers believed militants were operating near their homes. They were killed because they were Jewish. There were no Jewish armies launching attacks from Warsaw neighborhoods, no Jewish battalions crossing into German towns and murdering civilians, and no Jewish government openly committed to destroying Germany.
Szor & Abraham - "Israeli film-makers" - more info please -are they young Israelis who have they served their nation & thus have personal experience to support their anonymous informants' film allegations - or are they professional propagandist shirkers?
When a society becomes corrupt and then pretends it’s being even handed I find it unbearable. It would be like listening to a list of accusations against a black teen delivering newspapers in the antebellum South. Surely some black teen did something wrong maybe even something grievous but on the whole the accusers were utterly compromised people. The hilarity the irony the satire is the left has for decades promoted the idea that a much evolved west is still SO OBSCENELY institutionally racist that the system has to be overturned racist practices put into place to remediate it and how many super bright people signed onto this and still do. But you claim that an ancient hatred that we know has historically over and over rotted brains and hearts is exploding again and no wait, it’s deserved so it’s not the same. Bc in the past NO ONE ARGUED JEWS DESERVE IT. I engage to sharpen my wits not to turn people bc they’re quite happy spinning in a wheel going nowhere mentally & foaming at the mouth. No desire to engage they just copy and paste without challenging that material (it’s only someone else’s copy and paste thats sus) they want to preach shallow ethos shout genocide at the top of their lungs while they wish it on Jews. I agree w the woke mob the whole system can be corrupt they just are poor at identifying which systems those are.
Wow. It’s remarkable that these 2 ISRAELIS feel so compelled to be “Good Jews” for the world and to allow all of those “artistic elite Euros”, you know, the ones who love to justify their Jew hatred being affirmed by JEWS! Israelis.
Yup, these 2 “documentarians” did a great job with anonymous sources, editing to the max, and generally offering the perfect excuse for the aforementioned.
The paradox is that Israel must be found guilty before the evidence is heard because a fair hearing of the evidence will ultimately exonerate them.

Jews are always judged and always guilty.
