I read this review of Toronto filmmaker Jamie Kastner's new movie "Kikes like Me" and--though I haven't yet seen the movie--I experienced the same dis-ease I felt when I heard of/saw the HBO movie Elders of Zion. Though I, of course, reserve judgment until I see the film, it does seem to be another meditation on how the Jew is seen though the eyes of the gentile rather than an engagement with Jews, Jewishness, Jewish history, Jewish culture or (chas v'chalila!) HaShem.
If not to allay my fears, then at least to amuse me, I read this post about the movie, by Phoebe Maltz (on the fabulously titled blog "What Would Phoebe Do - the best Francophilic Zionism in the Blogosphere").
