‘October 8’ Review: Disturbing Documentary Surveys Surge in Antisemitism After Hamas Attacks

October 7, 2023, Marked The Largest Massacre of Jews to Take Place Since The Holocaust, with 251 Hostages Taken by Hamas As Well. Wendy Sachs’ Documentary Isn’t About that Horrific Event, AlhoUGH IT INCLUDES DISTURBING FOOTAGE FROM The INFAMOUS Day and Harrowing TESTIMONY by Survivors. Rater, ItCerns Whats Happened ImMediaTely Afterward, Namely The Precipitous Rise in Antisemitism that Manifted ITSELF IN DEMONSTRATIONS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES, ON STREETS. For Those Concerned About this Growing Problem – and Everyone Should Be – October 8 is Mandatory Viewing.

There Is Certainly a Strong Case to be Made Against Israel’s Longstanding Mistreatment of Palestinians, As Well As Against the Morality and Legality But There Was Something Truly Perverse About the Way in Way in Who-Anti-Israel Sentiment Came to A Fiever Pitch in the ImMediate Aftermath of the Massacre, and The Manner in White. Protests erupted on College Campuses Throughout the Country, with Jewish Students VerBally Attacked and, in Some Cases, Physically Assaulted. Dozens of University Student ORGANIZATIONS PUT OUTTEMENTS BLAMING ISRAEL FOR HAMAS ‘ACTIONS, AND EVEN SOME FACULY MEMBERS JOINED IN THE OUTCRY. One Cornell University Professor Went So Far As to Refer to the Hamas Attack as “Exhilarating” and “Energizing.”

The Film Includes Footage of the Congressional TESTIMONY OF SEVERAL UNIVERSITY Presidents WHO HAD TRUBLE EXPLAINING WHY they failed to succferently Protect Jewish Student From. – and whother calls for the genocide of Jews Violated their code of conduct.

“What does it mean that Future Leaders of the most Important Democracy in the World Are Chanting for Revolution and Intifada?” Asks Journalist Bari Weiss, Referring to The Students. “What is the Country Going to look like a decade from now?”

Several University Students Who Did Attempt to Counter The Anti-Israel Hatred Are Profiled, Including The Student Body President of University and Received a barrage of Hate Messages and Threats As A Result.

October 8 Seeks bot to explain the reasons behind the rise in hatred and condemn the right Lack of Organized Response to It. IT Points to the SJP, or Students for Justice in Palestine, A Controversial Group Estimated to have 200 Branches Across The Country.

Another Problem Is That Young People Largely Get Their News Not from Traditional Media Outletts But Racher From Suchal Media Sites as Tiktok, Where Bad Actors Like Like IRAN IRAN Easily ABLE TO FOMENT DISINFORMATION.

The Film ALSO DECRESS The RELATIVE LACKS HARAM IN NIGERIA. Hollywood Figures Have Been Largely Silent, with ConspicUSUSPIONS INCLUDING ACTORS DEBRA MESSING (an Ep on this Film) and Michael Rapaport, Both Feat.

“I FELT COMPLETELY BETRAYED by Hollywood,” Says Messing About the Lack of Support, While Rapaport Offers An Earthier Comment. “I KNEW WHERE I AM ON THE PECKING ORDER,“ HE SAYS. “The fact that I was the big Hollywood name of than the Great Debra Messing is Some Real Fucking Disappinning Shit.”

Among theater Talking Heads Passionately Expressing its Deep Concern About the Rising Tide of Antisemitism Are Congressman Ritchie Torres (Who Has Emerged As An Ardent Defenderer Scott Galloway, Douglas Murray, Sheryl Sandberg, and Historian Deborah Lipstadt. We Also Hear from Mosab Yosef, The Son of A Hamas Co-Funder and An Ex-Palestinian Militant Who have Has Since Become An Outspoken Critic of Hamas and The Pro-Palestinian MOVEMENT.

Like Many Advocal Documentaries, October 8 Does Some Cherry-PICKING OF FAKSS AND Draws Some Questionable Conclusions. But There’s No Denying the Importance of It Message and the Need for Corrective Action by Political, Academic, Religious and Civil Leaders.
