The best documentary award has gone to one of the year's most controversial films.
Defamation is a polemic by Israeli filmmaker Yoav Shamir. In his expose of America's Anti-Defamation League (ADL), he claims anti-Semitism is being exaggerated for political purposes. He argues that American Jewish leaders travel around the world exploiting the memory of the Holocaust to silence criticism of Israel.

nice when your people allow free speech and dont issue death sentences for opposing views
-
I am glad somebody has stepped up to the plate. The truth hurts.
-
wow, talk about the obvious...but i second ladybuglady's sentiments. israel is literally a bully on the world stage. you give a religious cult their own country and look what happens...
-
Frankly I have been sick of this for some time, using a tragedy to hold the world hostage. Free Speech and Criticism are a necessary part of our evolution.
-
i agree with ALL 4 COMMENTS ABOVE ME...and i embrace the film maker for having the balls to tell it like it is, because in the long run it helps his country and people.

Great that people take heed and doesn't fear the political right of the Israeli goverment. Abusing Holocaust for political purposes is a shameful act which should be exposed.

This is not obvious to me, Jubal.
I always think of you as a compassionate voice.
I don't know anything much about the current situation in Palestine but I do know the pain my sweet and wonderful and gentle Jewish family has suffered from the Holocaust. This is not an exaggeration. How dare you say that.
My family and I have nothing to do with what is going on now.
The same way American families should not be blamed for what Bush did, as they are. I can not say if they are doing the right thing 100% of the time, nor is Palestine. Everyone is acting irrationally at times. Of course.Much of it is in terror, and not rational. It is for survival; the Palestinians blowing innocent people up and I am sure on the Israel side there are the same injustices. I am not close to the problem. I live in the US. not in Israel. I am just living my life like the rest of you. I don't attend world wide conspiracy movements to hurt people, as a few of you seem to think. Most of my family and friends are very nice people and a lot of us keep the fact we are Jewish quiet. I wonder why.
From what I hear, it is very bad but I have nothing to do with what goes on in strategy sessions...as you had nothing to do with Bush's nor Obama's
From what I hear from a perceptive, Progressive student now, there is pain on all sides.
No one is completely right or wrong.
From each side there is pain.
The solution is not in insulting a whole people like that.
That is Fox News mentality..they say to blame all the Muslims.
Look at the whole picture please...that hurt. -
I would like to know well I know it is going to sound strange but I see on the news that Jon Gosslin is becoming a jew well because his "soul mate" is jewish. Well how do you become Jewish? What you take a class with a rabbi or what can anybody get on the Jewish wagon and become jewish? Shit Madona turned jewish
and a few other stars I really don't understand. so I can go threw the classes turn jewish and I get a free trip to Israel. thats neet.-
