Jewish identity in London - Freitagnacht Jews | DW Documentary

Host Daniel Donskoy travels to different cities to meet exciting Jewish guests. Together they discuss and philosophize about the meaning of being Jewish. What is life like for Jews in London, Buenos Aires, Tel Aviv, and Istanbul?
In the evening, before hosting his guests, Daniel Donskoy explores the cities he visits: covered in oil from head to toe for a Turkish oil wrestling match in Istanbul, visiting Pride in Tel Aviv, or as the "Leader” on a double-decker bus in London. It is all about Jewish identities and stories, where you often don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Always playful and charming, Donskoy provides his various guests for the late-night show with home-cooked food and engaging questions. From an author, comedian, all the way to a rabbi, they talk about the reality of their Jewish lives. With such an intimate atmosphere, they open up right away in front of the camera.
In the first episode, Daniel Donskoy is in London to meet British comedian David Baddiel and Dana Margolin, singer of "Porridge Radio".
A production by Turbokultur Berlin on behalf of WDR.

Ur right. It's messed up.

[@BoseBish]

It's called UN-style or Lector style dub. Yes, it's annoying.

[@Ddub1083]

They do that in the places where it makes sense to hear the original language.... like when he was imitating hitler's speech style but claiming germany to be a multicultural country. the parts that are left to hear the german is on purpose because hearin the german is part of the message at that time.

[@poegidea2245]

I am an immigrant from a tropical island in the Indian ocean who now lives in London(26 Years) and I like integrated Jewish people(not a fan of orthodox Jews. Not a fan of any orthodox kind for that matter). Some of my favorite physicists(Feynman, Einstein, Bohr, Pauli, Weinberg, Neumann) have Jewish heritage. I sometime wear a t-shirt which says Shalom to support of Jewish people in England and Europe. Live long and prosper lovely Jewish folks!

[@shardanette1]

@Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez They are showing allyship with Jews. That is important to Jews during this saga. As they state, other black folks are defending Kanye, which is just disgusting to see. There is no defense of hate.

[@ADUAquascaping]

@@shardanette1 Calling out hypocrisy isn't actually hate. You're exaggerating because you're indoctrinated. So let's consider Ye's point: the media proclaims that all white people, no matter actual ethnicity, are all the same and all have "whiteness". They're all oppressors. The media proclaims that all black people are the same even when they're from different ethnicities and backgrounds. They're all oppressed. This is a typical Hegelian dialectic. See, communism is synonymous with Zionism. This isn't a stretch. You're all just indoctrinated. Trotsky was a self proclaimed Zionist and international communist. And so wasn't Marx. His family only converted to Christianity to blend in with the German people. Their ideas are still rooted in their culture however. They hold no loyalty to any culture within Europe. Zionism is a form of supremacy. I mean, Palestine wasn't occupied after WW1 or anything.... And Jacob Schiff and the Rothschilds didn't fund WW1 and the communist revolution or anything.... So when you attack white people as a monolithic group it's somehow justified and not racist. And this rhetoric is seen daily in the mainstream media. Same goes for all black people being portrayed as perpetual victims. But when you talk about Jews in a negative way, as one entire group, you're anti-semitic. They then become separate individuals not a colluding group. But when they are celebrating each other, and talked about in a positive way, they become one unified group and praise Zionism and their accomplishments. If you don't think this culture war has been going on for thousands of years, then you're definitely not paying attention. Debt slavery and fiat currency aren't positive aspects of society. It was illegal in Christianity to mint gold coins and lend them out as debt. They even indebted the kings. How do you think they became so wealthy. Jews aren't innocent of anything. Just hypocrites. People actually can criticize negative aspects of Zionism just as they call out negative aspects of white supremacy. And the founders of the communist revolution in Russia, who were disproportionately Jewish, killed millions of Russian Christians. You're just indoctrinated. Believing that they don't control the majority of the media is also false. They do infact control the vast majority of the mainstream media. It's a fact. And the Rothschilds control over 50% of the US Federal Reserve gold too. These aren't conspiracy theories. You're just uneducated like most people. Why do you think the mainstream media runs so far left and advocates for communism, globalism, and open borders. Because they're communist, Zionists and hypocrites. Israel has let in 0.06% of the middle eastern and African refugees while Europe has let in over 90%. More than even Saudi Arabia. I guess Norwegians and Swedish people owe the world something just for the mere fact that they have white skin. Ervin Kohn, the director of the Jewish community center in Norway, said that Norway is "too white". Oh, so native Norwegians are too white for Norway. And that's not anti-white rhetoric or anything.... Nothing but delusional hypocrites. You actually conflate karma with resentment. And you deny anti-white rhetoric and propaganda and black infantilism in the media on a daily basis. And you deny who does own the media. The media teaches that white people are dangerous and bad within their own heritage based culture. I can assure you that the people writing this propaganda aren't so called "white people". They're Zionists. Oh yes, the white man is the most dangerous and evil human, the mainstream media proclaims, while he is living in his own heritage based culture. And no, people with light skin don't owe anyone anything just because of their skin tone. That's not how karma works. People are just conflating karma with their resentment, which is an unjustified mode of perception.

For a Church of England Englishman (ie. I only go to church at Xmas because the wife likes to dress up and belt out ‘Bread of Heaven’), I thought this was enlightening, entertaining and rather joyous. If only Martin Luther had had a Jewish agent we’d all have been better off and had more laughs. Still, the world gets better in younger hands…as we meanderingly progress. Good work mein freund 🙂.

The funniest shtick in this documentary is when he rants about the virtues of multiculturalism in the manner of Hitler at one of his rallies -on top of a double decker bus! Fantastic absurdist humor - like a Monty Python routine!

Though the topic is interesting, the host Daniel Donskoy is simply horrible and talentless. Couldn't bear to watch all of it.

[@AfroRU6246]

Felt the same and thought maybe I am missing the point of the documentary.....its horrible really

[@Commievn]

I agree. Personally i think Dana or David should be the host. I am more leaning-toward Dana progressive stand (maybe becuz she is also a millennial like me) but i do want to hear more about David. He lives in a different time and i fully understand why he has such strong conviction about Jewishness.

Note: it would (probably) be better, if NO slang/abuses were used...(!?) ONE very good and important issue "in Britain NO Jews has faced descrimination" in my opinion it makes Britain proud despite their colonizing the whole world (almost) What would happen without British rule, if it'd be good or bad is a separate topic altogether. The gentleman (at the dining table) is in my opinion, a bit biased, f----k the Jews surely doesn't represent a British mentality, it should have been said by SOME arrogant person who ARE ignorant as well. In Britain or anywhere in this earth hatred towards anybody is simply the sign of arrogance and ignorance...!
