Het Israël van Heertje en Bromet plot

Raoul Heertje is best known as a comedian and few know that he is Jewish. Frans Bromet is a well-known program maker and also Jewish. Together they travel to Israel. The country they know well and with which they both feel inextricably linked because of their Jewish background. But also the country that raises questions, irritation and sometimes anger in them because of the social, political and religious developments.

If you will it, Dude, it's no dream.

ep. 7 is very interesting. Heertje gets (again) sincerely emotional when he meets two fathers (one Palestinian, the other Israeli) who both lost a daughter to the conflict, but still fight peacefully together for a solution. However, he (Heertje) turns out not to be a real journalist, which works both for - because of his emotions that affect me - and against him - when he talks elsewhere in the episode with people who try to defend certain politics and actions of Israel and he doesn't offer enough rebuttal (something he did enough until this episode, or else Bromet did).

There is no solution to the conflict, I can see that now, because Israel will never give the land back to the Palestinians and that is essentially what most Palestinians really want...^ What Israel can do is the Gaza Strip and leave the West Bank to the Palestinians, let human rights prevail and if necessary(!) defend itself against terror. It's really not all that difficult. But hey, who am I...?

Very good series, haven't seen much better in recent years. Tribute to Heertje and Bromet!


^ That is, as long as the UN and America are world powers of significance.

An excellent ego documentary about how Raoul Heertje and Frans Bromet look at how their own 'Jewish identity' relates to the state of Israel. What does being Jewish mean in a state where this ethnic/religious group is the dominant factor? For Heertje, this is a tough confrontation with people with whom he shares a history and who sometimes have a radically different view of the hot topics than himself. Bromet is more of a recording observer whose characteristic humming voice is sometimes unbelievably sharp. In the distance, this series has some common ground with 'Natascha's Promised Land' (2018) by Natascha van Weezel, but the Heertje/Bromet duo are somewhat more decisive and seek out more politically charged subjects themselves. It is also wonderfully uncomfortable, exciting television to see these 'angry old men' go head-to-head with state propaganda and falsification of history. Heertje, in particular, is a master at putting his hospitable-looking interviewees on the spot with his Dutch bluntness and forcing them to take a position. Although I must also say that the series gradually loses its power, because Heertje's ambiguous relationship with Israel from his youth becomes an unnecessary repetition of moves. For example, I would have expected at least one episode about dealing with ethnic minorities (such as Ethiopian Jews) who fall outside his circle of friends.
