New to this tribe and topic.
I was born and raised in Israel to parents who were born and raised in Montreal before they made "Aliya".
I did my time in the army, three and a half years (an extra six months because I was gung ho). Now I live in BC.
That's some background as to where I am coming from.
Now for this topic. I have not yet watched the film, but I have to respond to some of the things posted:
While I am Ashkenazi, I have plenty of Mizrahi friends and have been in long term relationships with Mizrahi women. No way do 60% of Israelis speak Ladino. I doubt 10% do.
While it may be true that no one sheds tears when Jews burn, that is equally true in relation to Cambodians, Philipinos, Guatemalans, Africans of every nation, women, Indigenous people of every continent, drug addicts, prisoners, Iraqis, Afghanis, Kurds, Armenians, Tibetans, Chinese labourers, migrant workers, sex trade workers, sex slave victims, etc... As individuals we may have plenty of empathy for people in pain, but as political societies we only care about those who belong to "our group". And so Israel cares about Jews (and more about Ashkenazis than Mizrahis), and other countries care about the middle classes and upwards of the dominant majority in those countries.
As for being the most persecuted, I would say that the indiginous of the Americas are way ahead of us in the race for most oppressed and most exterminated, and whoever is unaware of that should go to their library. But I also think that it is a ridiculous argument.

Israel has for years positioned itself above criticism due to the holocaust. Israel has for years used the holocaust as a trump card. Israel has perpetrated plenty of human rights abuses in the territories and in Lebanon, as many Israeli soldiers attest to. There are very active anti occupation organizations in Israel. Look into the Seruv movement. Many of the reservists who have refused to go to the territories and have gone to jail for that refusal, knew why they were refusing. It wasn't out of fear. It was out of the knowledge that there is no such thing as an enlightened occupation. Occupation corrupts! Always! I have personal friends and family members who served in infantry in the territories and in Lebanon, and they have some bad stories to tell. If we were put through the shit that Israel puts Palestinians through every day, some of us would take up arms too.

When I served in the IDF (1993-1996) there were many months when the death toll was pretty bad on the Palestinian side, such as 10 times more than Israelis dead, and yet if the Palestinians killed an Israeli, it would be painted there (and in North American media) as the Palestinians escalating the violence. The blinders are certainly on for many in Israel and many Jews elsewhere. This issue is often too clouded in ideology for facts to seep through.

Holding up the Grand Mufti as the sign that all Arabs have sought to finish Hitlers job is a bit much. What about Saadat, what about King Hussein, what about Edward Said and so many other Arab scholars and secular leaders who have sought normalization and peace over the years. Holding up the Mufti as a representative of all Arabs of all times could be likened to holding up the rabbi Kahane as a representative of all Jews or Rehavam Zeevi (Ghandi), or Baruch Goldstein, or Baruch Marzel or any of the other Israelis who have called for the killing of Arabs or who have actually bloodied their hands with indiscriminant killing. These people do not represent all Israelis and Jews (thank god), and the Mufti did not represent all Arabs. In fact for many years Jews lived in peace and prospered in Arab countries. Pretty much until WWI at the earliest or 1948 at the latest, there were prosperous Jewish communities in Iran, Syria, Iraq, Morocco, Yemen, Egypt to name but a few. Many were rich merchants and lived peacefully with little to fear of their neighbours. My first girlfriend's dad was from Halab in Syria and his family were well off and did fine until WWI when shit started happening to Jews. That does not justify the shit that started happening then, but to paint a picture of Jews always being persecuted by Arabs as far back as the Christian Era is simply false.

I have a lot more to say about this, but I will stop now as I am sure some will take offense with what I have already written, and I do not wish to cause people offense. I do not wish bad things upon Israel. My parents still live there, as do my two sisters, my brother and his family and many other friends of mine. I go to Israel once a year to visit. But I do have criticism about Israel, and am happy to share it. I can back it all up with a bit of research time. For the most part this information comes from growing up in Israel and seeing through some of the propaganda and then serving in Military intelligence as a information analyst, I can certainly say that that was an illuminating experience since often I'd get to read intelligence reports and historical intelligence reviews that differed from what I was taught in the media or in the public education system. In that respect Israel is no different than the US or Canada: History is written by the victors.

Peace be with you all!
