No, it's not. That lunatic Debbie Schlussel thinks it is, but those of us back on planet Earth realize that it's sort of hard for a movie set in 1941 to be in any way prejudicial towards a nation that wasn't established until 1948.

Her point is not that Defiance is anti-Israel, she gives it a favorable review, its that she believes that Zwick will not make a movie that is pro-Israel - based upon her interview with him.
