and of course, this program was preceded by a commercial for a popular video game, blatantly glorifying war - starring afamous jew. (FACT)

All Jewish people are not bad and so it is wrong to put all Jewish people in one category. Many Jews are anti-Zionist and do not agree with the radical Zionism that is practiced by leaders in Israel. I think it is wrong to attack Jewish people just because of the wrongs of a few in the Jewish community. I also think that radical Islam is wrong. They think everyone who is not Islamic is a sinner or an infidel. This is wrong. People should stop stereotyping one another. There are bad people in every group but there are also good people. A whole group cannot be blamed for the bad deeds of a few. Not all Muslims are radical. I have met many non-radical Muslims and they don't preach violence. Extremism in any group is the problem.

I agree with reviewers Ken Jackson, Ray Murray, and Jose. No matter what form, evil IS evil. Muslims, Jews, and every single nationality on earth has committed evil. No one, not one, is solely innocent and never ever will be. Since the beginning of time, Jews have played an integral part throughout all of history. It is prophesized, without stepping on other's toes here, that the Jews will have an integral part in the future, and thus they live and go on whether anyone likes it or not. I too stand by them, regardless they have committed their fair amount of atrocities, but I do know that God cares for them, like anyone else He cares about, but they will have a special meaning for the future. All the hate, fear, revenge, etc is not going to stop whatever God has planned for the Jews and Gentiles, and He is where I will put my full trust. Those who know, know what I am talking about. Those who don't know, need to find out.

I almost gave “Ever Again” 5 stars, for, on balance, it did a balanced job in looking at contemporary anti-Semitism. For example, it avoided reductionism by portraying the recent upsurge in anti-Semitism NOT as solely a matter of a surge in militant Islam. Nor did it forget that the extreme Left, not just the extreme Right, is fertile ground for anti-Semitism--a point surprisingly often overlooked. I say “surprisingly” because Nazism is, after all, National SOCIALISM and was never all that different from Communism (= INTERnational Socialism). Thus, while Hitler’s government didn’t control people’s lives as much as Stalin’s government did, he squashed free labor (e.g., the government heavily regulated prices and wages), free trade, free enterprise, free elections, a free press, etc. Not surprisingly, it’s on the formerly Communist soil of EAST Germany where Neo-Nazi activity is most rampant in Germany today--after all, the move from Nazism to Communism in 1945 (when the Soviets conquered eastern Germany) and back to Neo-Nazism in 1989 (after the Berlin Wall tumbled) wasn’t that big of a move. But I ultimately gave this documentary “only” 4 stars because of a number of modest shortcomings: (1) It’s too politically correct, or least naïve, in examining Islam. Thus, it wrongly blames “fanaticism” for the rise in anti-Semitism. WRONG! There are fanatic Amish, fanatic Mennonites, fanatic Quakers, etc. (who believe in some form of Creationism, traditional roles for women, etc.); but they don’t go around killing noncombatant men, women, and children. The sad truth is that Islamic Jihad and other “fanatic” Muslim groups can make a potent case that the Koran (and the Hadith, etc.) support their view of Islam--i.e., that Muhammad gave them license to kill infidels who are atheists, agnostics, polytheists, etc. (as well as anyone who abandons Islam) and authorized them essentially to enslave monotheistic “People of the Book” (= Christians and Jews). Read the Koran sometime, especially Sura 2 (Chapter 2) verses 178, 190-193, 216 or 3:141 or 4:47, 74, 89, 104 or 8:12-13, 39-40, 65-68 or 9:5, 29, 73-74, 123 or 47:4 or about 100 more similar verses. Or read “Sahih Bukhari,” Book 8, Volume 82, Numbers 805-815, 821, 842 and Book 9, Volume 84, Numbers 57-58, 64. Or read about the Bosnian Muslims who joined the SS in World War II--or the Grand Mufti and other Muslim leaders who sided with the Nazis in WW II (one of Saddam Hussein’s uncles joined the pro-Nazi revolt in Iraq in April 1941--the Baath Party had fascist connections). (2) This film is too rigid, not nuanced enough, in its consideration of anti-Zionism. Whether by Ultra-Orthodox Jews (some of whom view the modern state of Israel as a God-defying abomination) or left-wing Socialists, much of the opposition to the state of Israel, or at least its treatment of its Arab minority, really is NOT anti-Semitic. For example, it’s fine by many if Israel wants to annex the territories it conquered in 1967 but ONLY IF it then grants the conquered people rights of citizenship (including the right to VOTE). But Israel seems to want it both ways: i.e., it wants to claim possession of the land it conquered in 1967 but treat the conquered Arab people as foreigners with no rights of citizenship. It’s as if the US didn’t give the French, British, Spanish, etc., inhabitants of Louisiana, Texas, Colorado, etc., citizenship rights after purchasing, annexing, or conquering those territories (alas, American Indians didn’t get citizenship rights until the 1920’s!). Of course, one could condemn such criticisms of Israel as naïve--which they might well be--but idealism and naivete are NOT synonymous with anti-Semitism. And, sadly, many Socialists, pacifists, etc., ARE anti-Semitic and use idealism as a cloak. But not every pacifist, idealist, anti-Zionist, etc., is an anti-Semite. (3) Alan Dershowitz is a poor spokesman for the Israeli cause. He exudes arrogance. Thus, just because he hasn’t paid off his $1,000 to the people who’ve provided him proof that some Israeli apologists equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism doesn’t prove he’s right--it just proves he’s a savvy, even sleazy, lawyer who hides behind loopholes. (4) More generally, a little HUMILITY would go a long way toward improving this movie--i.e., specific, explicit admissions of real evils that the Israeli government has committed, not an ambiguous “Of course mistakes have been made, and the state of Israel welcomes criticism.” If that’s really the case, then why don’t Dershowitz or other defenders of Israel spend even a few seconds enumerating things Israel has done wrong? True, the wrongs that Israel’s enemies (its neighbors, the thugs in the UN’s General Assembly, etc.) have done it DWARF any evils Israel has committed, and this movie is in fact about anti-Semitism. Nonetheless, a humble and contrite spirit, as King David wrote (Psalm 51:17), would go a long way toward increasing the credibility of Dershowitz and other apologists for the state of Israel. Even better would be to delink almost entirely anti-Semitism from anti-Israelism, though only the naïve (or malevolent) would entirely delink the two. (5) Finally, this documentary is naïve about ideology--back to point 1 above about Islam. France’s leader Sarkozy is right that words and ideology aren’t SUFFICIENT to defeat anti-Semitism--whether from Islam, Socialism, or Neo-Nazism--but they are NECESSARY. True speech--not censorship--is the best weapon to fight false speech. Especially in the age of the Internet--which renders censorship ineffective and just creates bogus martyrs--facts and evidence, logic and reason, have a role to play. Postmodernism hasn’t entirely slain the need for these things.

I thought the movie was fantastic, and an accurate representation of what's going on in the world, especially in the European countries, although it's happening here (in the US) too.The one thing I didn't like was that the movie was actually misleading, or at least on here it was. I really wanted to watch a program about Simon Wiesenthal, but instead I got a movie about another period of rising hate. Obviously, I find that very interesting, because as a Jewish person I hate to see it, and I've seen it even in my own area. So, overall, very good and informative. But like I said, I was kind of hoping to see something on Simon Wiesenthal.
