What was your inspiration to take a documentary?

Started on October 7, 2023, while visiting my daughter in college – go to Wisconsin University – and we saw everything in Israel. We saw rocket attacks. We found that youth and nursery and children and children and children and children and children and children and children and children were killed and killed and killed in their Facebook pages and telegrams. And clearly, these images were terrible.

But really, for me, it was a reaction on October 7. These days, on October 8, in Times Square, Time Square, not as a terrorist, but freedom fighters. And then everything opens in college campuses. Frankly, the thing I have seen in the world, what I saw in London, I saw in Canada, I saw the rest of the hostility.

Where did the world speak? Silence of human rights organizations, silence of the entertainment industry in Hollywood, Silence in Capitol Hill. And for me, it felt like lost his mind.

I was working on the film by the end of October. In this global response, I saw what happened in the world not only in the global response. I was watching what happened in Canada. At a personal level, America was an emptying, like a Jew. I felt this on a mobile level. That generation trauma (was).

But I saw both hypocrisy, double standards. Where was everyone? When the girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram, there was a whole global movement to return our daughters. When the girls in Israel were abducted and young women were abducted, and grandmothers were abducted, where were everyone? There was no such action. There was silence. There was either silence, or there was hatred. Israel also protested against Israel before answering. Thus, such a fanatic hatred of Israel, the Pariah state blinded everyone in the massacre of massacre.

Was the events with October 7 wake up?

It was a label line for the original treatment of the film – on October 7, Hamas attacked Israel and woke up American Jews on October 8. I think this is a complete mood. I think North American Jews woke up. We’ve seen what happened in the last ten years. In particular, I think that America is behind England, behind Canada, only the explosion of anti-Semitism and where it is there.

Also, now it’s okay, I would argue, to be a more open anti-seemitic, in a polite society, where there must be a low level. And we saw politicians in the UK from the Labor Party, years ago. Occurs both on the left and right. I think it really is really important to admit. We see, especially in the states, I can say that this is definitely happening. After 2016 and Charlottesville, there is an increase in anti-Semitism and you see here.

What is the central message of documentary documents?

The central theme is not about the Jews and is not about the situation of Israel. This is leaving jihadism and extremism against democracy in the West. The subject is: Begins from the Jews; It doesn’t end with the Jews. Really about Islamic jihad and extremism. That’s what is going on the actual way and therefore the world should take care of.

What would you say to the followers who approached the movie?

I would say that we do not claim the war. The film is not political. This is not about land problems or settlements or bibi (Benjamin Netanyahu) government. This is a modern form of anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism morphis. It is a fanatic and obsessive hatred that Israel’s people expect the massacre of Israelites.

This is not a political film. You can catch two truths. This is not about to deny the Palestinians a right to their state; This is not this movie this movie. However, why is this about how to solve the right to the Israeli province.

There were many of the images of more than 150 hours and in many of these protests and the mobs at the University of Columbia sounded, not for peace, but for two states, but not for two states. It was very clear. If you listen to the messaging, we want to live peacefully and live side by side. This is: We’re all. It is up to the sea from the river and does not belong to this peace.

Did it clear the need to determine anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism in the last two years? Do you support the definition of anti-Semitism of the Memorial Alliance of the International Holocausta?

Absolutely. I feel that a really powerful Zionism is anti-Semiticism. Among people, there are many questions that even in the Jewish society, and call it. But I think it’s more clear than ever, it should be determined by this and how it is.

However, this does not mean that you cannot object to the Israeli government or have problems with government policy. Of course, you can do and can criticize any government, selected officials. This is not about it. This is not related to the criticism of the Israeli government; Israel is going to solve the right to be available. This is anti-Semiticism. When the Jews are the only ones who are not eligible to determine their destiny, it is anti-Semitism. The Bibi does not criticize the government, it is perfect and often exactly what people have to do.
