Description:
Why can't Jews, Arabs, and Palestinians coexist? The answers are deep-rooted, complex, and fully detailed in this stunning history of Jewish persecution.
''They are the other. They are not us.'' Throughout time, words such as these have been used to justify and vilify. The Longest Hatred takes an unsparing look at the ways such words have shaped the experience of Jewish people in this a revealing history of anti-Semitism, a hatred with roots long before the Holocaust and enduring intensity that continues to erupt in the violent conflicts of today.
Part One, From the Cross to the Swastika, traces an image that begins with the earliest writings of Christianity, which leveled the charge that Jews were responsible for Jesus’ death. In this segment, historians show how demonizing dogma has affected Jews through the centuries–in Italy, Spain, England, and Germany–reaching its zenith with the development of Nazi ideology.
Part Two, Enemies of the People, shows how anti-Semitic sentiment has accompanied a growing nationalism in Europe in recent decades, causing a mass exodus of Jews from Russia and even resurfacing in Poland and Austria, where few Jews remain. In Germany, the remarkable collapse of the Berlin wall has been followed by the rise of neo-Nazism among German youth.
Part Three, Between Moses and Muhammed, takes a humanistic look at relations between Arabs and Israelis, once linked by pseudo-science under the degrading label ''Semite,'' and now enmeshed in one of the world’s most violent conflicts. Experts on both sides tell how Arabs and Jews, who for centuries lived in relative peace, have been drastically alienated by political turmoil–and how the anti-Jewish propaganda now disseminated in the Arab world is so eerily like that seen in Europe before World War II.

Rating: - Anti-Semitism
A very comprehensive documentary feature on anti-semitism, "The Longest Hatred" not only covers the fact that the hatred of the Jews is rampant, but examines the history of this hatred, as well as the possible causes.We are taken back in history, to Jesus Christ, Muhammad, and the horrors of the Final Solution.The hatred does not stop there, as the film shows.
I found the analysis of the Christian hatred towards Jews particularly intriguing.Christians are generally considered to ... Read More
Rating: - Well Done
This is a documentary that takes a look at anti-Semitism through the ages. It is very well done and well worth watching.
Rating: - Entertaining Education !
This is a copy of a PBS mini-series, marvelously filmed on location, filled with facts, interviews with "in your face" and "in your gut" scenes.It explains the Jewish/Arab conflict from the very beginning to date and permits the viewer to see the WHY from both sides. It is long for one viewing - but invite friends over, have refreshments, watch the DVD and follow it with HOURS of discussion.Our Bible Study group spent 8 hours and throughly enjoyed the education and enlightenment it provided to ...

Rating: - Factual View of a usually taboo subject.
One of the better documentaries about a subject Christians usually don't want to discuss as we would need to face up to the truth that we have either done nothing to stop it or contributed to make it worse. A timely reminder to face the hard facts in history that Christians have been the greatest persecutors of Jews and not the Muslims!
Rating: - Best Narration in a documentary!!!
This documentary explains in short, the history of the Jewish people and how Anti-Semietism first started..it is brilliantly done.The interviews portraid are opinionated from both sides, from the Catholic church to Jewish professors of history to Arab media spokespeople to Professors and teachers of English/History in Egypt.In short it is portraid slightly in favor of the Jewish, but still has a great view of opposition from Europeans and Arabs.What really makes the documentary is the Narrorator, ...
