Journalist David Aaronovitch travels to Israel and Gaza to ask why hatred of Jews runs so deep across the Middle East, and where it comes from. He sits with Palestinians who repeat claims that Jews orchestrated the 9/11 attacks, and reviews clips from Palestinian television that traffic in accusations of ritual murder and plots for world domination, the same material that circulated in early twentieth-century Europe. The film follows the trail beyond Gaza into Egypt, where he finds respected newspapers and broadcasters printing and airing the same content without apparent controversy. Aaronovitch does not treat the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a simple morality tale; he acknowledges grievances on both sides while trying to separate legitimate political anger at Israeli policy from something older and more corrosive. His interviews are conducted plainly, letting subjects state their views without much interruption, so the viewer hears the conspiracy theories in the words of the people who believe them rather than paraphrased secondhand.
