France According to
Johann Chapoutot, the documentary is under average. "the general thesis has an intolerable intellectual and moral grossness: roughly, a first Holocaust was done by antisemitism intoxicatd Germans (...) and a second is preparing by Arabs/Muslims who have suckle the hate of Jews with maternal milk. and the authors "take the spectators for stupid". According to , the "current forms of antisemitism are serious topics, especially in Europe. This documentary pretends to present them to the public and to denounce them. But, between the intentions proclaimed in the title (...) and the result, the disparity creates the sensation of a big confused and biased gêchis. wrote in
Zeit: "The documentary of hatred against Jews in Europe confuses criticism of Israel with Antisemitism. Thereby it fails to show the real problem: the classical Antisemitism." The critique was published under the title "Antisemitism—the enemy is right-wing." Historian
Michael Wolffsohn described the documentary as "by far best, smartest and historically deepest documentary on this topic, while at the same time being very much up to date and true." praised the film as "great and overdue." Arno Frank, journalist by
Spiegel Online, emphasized that the film had major production flaws. Mirna Funk writing in Zeit described it as a
propaganda film and said it covers only very little of antisemitism in Europe, its main focus is labeling criticism towards Israel as antisemitism. Peter Ullrich from
Center for Research on Antisemitism claimed that the film had interesting details, but was poorly made and is misleading. Both
WDR and
Süddeutsche Zeitung journalist
Matthias Drobinski see great production flaws in the documentary. The SZ journalists furthermore claims that the film was produced out of the anger of the filmmakers, the film was less of a documentary but rather a statement or polemic. The viewer has to be on the side of the producers; if not, so the documentary indicates, the viewer will be on the side of
Hamas and
Julius Streicher. Matthias Drobinski concludes that a film about modern antisemitism is important, but that the lack of craftsmanship was sad.
Bild made the documentary public. On the same day, Arte responded with a press release stating that Arte had noted that Bild.de had put the documentation online on its own responsibility. "Even though this approach is strange, ARTE has no objection to the public's own opinion on the film." Furthermore:
International The Simon Wiesenthal Centre requested the European Parliament to screen the film in its chamber as a reaction of ARTE's initial refusal to broadcast the film. == Reactions ==
