MOVIE REVIEW: POST-9/11 ANTI-SEMITISM

New Documentary Explores Post-9/11 Antisemitism - Talya Halkin (Jerusalem Post)
"Protocols of Zion," a new film by American director Marc Levin, explores the resurgence of anti-Semitism in the wake of September 11.  The idea for the film came to Levin shortly after 9/11, when an Egyptian taxi driver in New York talked to him about the attack on the World Trade Center as a Jewish conspiracy referred to in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the notorious forgery created 100 years ago.

In a series of conversations throughout the film, Levin speaks to, and sometimes confronts, various people, including Arab Americans, Black nationalists, Christian evangelists, white supremacists, Kabbalist rabbis, and Holocaust survivors.
