Darlene Casella - American Thinker
Evil actions such as rape, torture, mutilation, hostage-taking, and murder of Jews with vows to continue are met with shrugs and resignation rather than outrage and condemnation.
"Atlas Shrugged, the novel by Ayn Rand, warned us about the controlling “mind of society,” a place where talented free thinkers disappear.
Marvin Minsky, about 50 years ago, wrote about a society of one mind, where a multitude of small thinking entities fundamentally control the minds of civilization.
A Collective Descent into Evil, a documentary film produced by Gloria Greenfield, deserves to be in the same class with conceptual thinkers Rand and Minsky.
Scholars and historians such as journalist Melanie Phillips, Ruth Wisse (Harvard University), Eric Cohen (Tikvah Fund), Alan Dershowitz, Jonathan Schanzer (Foundation for Defense of Democracies), Itamar Marcus (Palestinian Media Watch), Jonathan Tobin (Jewish News Syndicate), Mark Tapson (David Horowitz Freedom Center), Daniel Pipes (Middle East Forum), historian Victor Davis Hanson, and others give testament in the film to the premise that in our time, Jew-hatred is upheld and not eradicated.
Evil actions such as rape, torture, mutilation, hostage-taking, and murder of Jews with vows to continue are met with shrugs and resignation rather than outrage and condemnation.
Greenfield leaves nothing unturned in displaying society’s graphic descent into evil. Important and interesting archival photography is intertwined with the dialogue of scholars, adding depth of visual understanding to the film’s premise about evil and hatred in culture, in society, and in politics." . . .More...
