Unhappy Russian immigrant Jews in Israel

This is a very ILLUMINATING film document on Russia born Jews in Israel . How can educated Jews ( always leaning toward some form of SOCIALISM ) see ZIONIST APARTHEID Israel as " Jew Heaven " ? I suspect they would be happier in more cosmopolitan New York City which in the past produced many radical Jews leading the organized labor movement of the 1930s . Read socialist writer Irving Howe's " World Of Our Fathers " . Sad to think this film is so old ! All the Russian immigrant Jews interviewed here seem like very decent , sympathetic individuals. J. Edgar Hoover also thought that communism ( and socialism ) are inherently anti-Semitic ! Yet , TRUTH is also at the core of the Juseo-Christian tradition. And there is much Truth in Karl Marx's DAS KAPITAL. Likewise there is much spiritual TRUTH in the Bible in the language of mythology at the dawn of human civilization : [ “Karl Marx described Judaism as “anti-social” and an expression of Jewish “egoism.” Marx, better than any other communist leader, illustrates the gulf between Jewish tradition and communism. He could not be loyal to both, so in accepting the communist ideal, he was not content to reject Jewish tradition; he had to malign it and seek to destroy it with such bitterness as: “Money is the jealous God of Israel, by the side of which no other god may exist. . . . Exchange is the Jew’s real God.” ― J. Edgar Hoover, Masters Of Deceit: The Story Of Communism In America And How To Fight It ]
