Review:

In the end that saying antisemitism was not a problem without researching whether people still held 
antisemitic attitudes was just expressing a prejudice (ie jews exaggerate and use antisemitism for 
their own benefit) without bothering to check the basis for his conclusion. This could be based on a 
prejudiced view of Jews (it's quite a common assertion, blaming vicitims of racism for stoking it up) 
or simply faulty reasoning. Either way his film presented no evidence whatsovever that antisemitism 
had decreased or no longer exisited, and didnt even bother to check this assertion.
