Zionists enraged by new film
Ariel Toaff is a Jewish professor of Medieval and Renaissance History at Bar Ilan University, and the former chief rabbi of Rome
In February 2007 he published "Passovers of blood: The Jews of Europe and Ritual Murders."
The book dealt with Jewish blood libel-- the ritual murder of Christian children by Ashkenazi Jews, who believed the blood of children had special curative powers.
Members of the Israeli Knesset demanded that Toaff be prosecuted.
Toaff suspend distribution of his book, and announced that all profits from the 3,000 copies already sold would go to the Anti-Defecation League.

Now Jews are enraged by a new movie Hotel Meina, filmed in Northern Italy. It tells the story of 16 Italian Jews who took refuge from the Nazis in a hotel, owned by Jews, in the Italian town of Meina.
The Jews were executed in September, 1943, and their bodies thrown into the lake.
Zionists are furious. They say the film makes Nazis seem human.
Becky Behar Ottolenghi, daughter of the owners of the hotel, was 13 years old at the time of the event. She is determined to fight the film's creators and screenwriter Pasquale Squitieri.
"I will go to court," she said in an interview with Haaretz. "Since I read the script, I haven't been able to sleep, and my stomach turns. I have been traveling throughout Italy for 12 years to tell schoolchildren the story of the massacre of Jews at Meina. What kind of credibility will I have now? The film implies that Jews were free to move around the area. It portrays a Nazi woman as a hero who wanted to save everybody.”
Director Carlo Lizzani says the film is his personal contribution to the battle against anti-Semitism.
"The story of Hotel Meina must be viewed in a metaphorical light, even if the cost is a certain betrayal of a few aspects. It is possible that there was no presence of a 'positive,' German character at Meina, but that does not interest me. I feel an obligation to derive a universal meaning from the affair.”

... Ariel Toaff is the son of Rome's former chief Rabbi, Elio Toaff, and the author of the widthdrawn book 'Pasque di Sangue'. Elio is said to have broken off with his son Ariel, a history professor at Bar-Ilan University in KhazarStan, after the publication of the book (soonafter withdrawn).
Notice also that the jewish italian name Ottolenghi is an italianisation of the great polish magnate family's name Ottolinski. The polish magnates were covertly of mongol descendency.
Sorry, a few historical precisations were in order.
When the same gargoyles make "300" and make millions, they (and their apologists) giggle around that: Oh, it's just a movie, it's entertainment, you should chill out. But when somebody else makes a movie about what they (might) have done, they go to court to stop it.
