Blacks vs Jews Movie Blog

There appears to be two extreme sides presented in the movie. The Jews have done wrong because a Jewish man ran over a small boy or the Blacks have done wrong because they attacked and killed a Jewish scholar. From the Black's perspective, it's the Jews who have started this whole feud in the first place. It was the Jewish man who was driving the car's fault. Them killing the Jewish scholar was just a retaliation to what happened. It was in a sense to send the Jews a message that if they mess with them, they aren't afraid to fight back. They probably also thought that killing one of their kind would be the only way to get the Jew's attention. If the Jews didn't pay attention to them while they were begging for help from the Jewish ambulance, then maybe violence is the path they need to take. And what better way than to get someone's attention than to kill one of their innocents?
The Jewish perspective is that it was just one guy who was probably drunk who made a mistake. The scholar had nothing to do with what happened, and it was completely uncalled for. Their ambulance was only supposed to be used for Jews due to the strict medical procedures they followed. Their argument seems like it's saying, "Hey man, why are you attacking us? We as a whole didn't do anything wrong." While the blacks argument seems like. "YOU started it, it's YOUR fault." Personally, I think my stand is leaning a little bit over to the Jewish side, and I think that both sides just need to drop it. Gandhi once said, "An eye for and eye makes the world blind." If the blacks call for an act of revenge then the Jews will call for a retorting act and the blacks will call for another act of revenge and so on. Instead of fighting over and over and over about who's fault this is they should settle their differences and just get on with their lives. This is very difficult yes, but just fighting over it for years and years isn't exactly the way to go.
