Movie Reviews of Frontline: The Longest Hatred: A Revealing History of Anti-Semitism

Movie Review: An interesting perspective
Summary: 4 Stars

This presentation was very interesting and informative from a Jewish perspective; especially for non-Jewish observers like me. For many years I have been interested in the history and lives of God's chosen people; to try to understand their culture and why the world has shown them such hatred toward them. This DVD has narratives which point to the Christian's persecution of the Jews - but, more accurately, the Jews were persecuted by the Catholic Church; not by Bible believing Christians.
This presentation should be filtered through a basic knowledge of the Catholic inquisitions in which ALL non-Catholics were martyred for not converting whether they be Jews, muslins or Christians.
Nevertheless, I can feel just some the pain of persecution which they have suffered over the centuries and only wish there was some end in site.

Summary of Frontline: The Longest Hatred: A Revealing History of Anti-Semitism

Why can't Jews, Arabs, and Palestinians coexist? The answers are deep-rooted, complex, and fully detailed in this stunning history of Jewish persecution.

''They are the other. They are not us.'' Throughout time, words such as these have been used to justify and vilify. The Longest Hatred takes an unsparing look at the ways such words have shaped the experience of Jewish people in this a revealing history of anti-Semitism, a hatred with roots long before the Holocaust and enduring intensity that continues to erupt in the violent conflicts of today.

Part One, From the Cross to the Swastika, traces an image that begins with the earliest writings of Christianity, which leveled the charge that Jews were responsible for Jesus' death. In this segment, historians show how demonizing dogma has affected Jews through the centuries-in Italy, Spain, England, and Germany-reaching its zenith with the development of Nazi ideology.

Part Two, Enemies of the People, shows how anti-Semitic sentiment has accompanied a growing nationalism in Europe in recent decades, causing a mass exodus of Jews from Russia and even resurfacing in Poland and Austria, where few Jews remain. In Germany, the remarkable collapse of the Berlin wall has been followed by the rise of neo-Nazism among German youth.

Part Three, Between Moses and Muhammed, takes a humanistic look at relations between Arabs and Israelis, once linked by pseudo-science under the degrading label ''Semite,'' and now enmeshed in one of the world's most violent conflicts. Experts on both sides tell how Arabs and Jews, who for centuries lived in relative peace, have been drastically alienated by political turmoil-and how the anti-Jewish propaganda now disseminated in the Arab world is so eerily like that seen in Europe before World War II.
