Judenrat means Jew-rat

Judenrat is German for "Jewish Council" the Nazi-appointed "Ghetto Elders" who were in charge of making sure that everybody stayed calm and cooperative.

So, Hollywood is the modern-day Judenrat or is it democrats, in general?

And lost in the persecution of Matar is her larger point: the Jews who collaborated with the Germans had a gun pointed to their heads. What's Bassi's excuse for expelling Jews from their homes and rendering the Land Of Israel Judenrein? Back then it could be said Jews who aided the Nazi enemy had no choice. No such dilemma confronts Jews in Israel who are bent on appeasing Israel's enemies with the lives and existence of their own nation.
