The Zionist Story: A documentary by Berek Joselewicz?

Postby elfismiles » Fri Nov 20, 2009 2:21 pm

Howdy'all,

I know there is a wealth of informed opinion within these RI forums regarding the State of Israel and Zionism.

Has anyone here watched this documentary or know anything about it or its creator? I'm not sure if the director's name is correct or a pseudonym.

I've only just begun watching it.


"The Zionist Story" - A documentary that explores the ideology of Zionism and its impact on Israel and the Palestinians under occupation.

Please feel free to comment whatever your views on the issues from the docu may be; all constructive (and/or emotional) contributions to the discussion below are welcome, but no rude behaviour of any kind will be tolerated and abusive posts will be immediately removed. Thanks for watching.

I watched all 8 parts. It's good. At the end, you find out that the filmmaker is a former Israeli soldier. You see his picture, and the place where he grew up. I'm pretty sure it's his real name.

Thank you Alice.

I'm 5/8ths thru it. Seems like a solid historical overview. I've definitely learned some things.

I'm on part 6, would have liked to have seen more about the early formation of Zionism and its relationship to the other nationalistic movements in Europe pre WW2. Good flick so far and a good intro for those in the US and UK who don't have a clue.

thanks for bumping

These were on the same YouTube page. Gaza reminded me so much of Warsaw that I just had to put these up. I thought they rounded out the historical perspective.

Gee, thanks chump. Posting intensely racist world Jewish conspiracy crap is sure to help calm things down around here, and bring lots of thoughtful dialogue to the fore...

Wow, Rothschild was Hilter's grandfather? Fascinating, chump. I never knew that!

I got my eye on you, bub.

Chump is banned.

Anyone who has trouble seeing the line that was crossed should perhaps look behind them.
