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.

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.
