description: Catch the Jew! recounts the adventures of gonzo journalist Tuvia Tenenbom who wanders around Israel and the Palestinian Authority for seven months in search of the untold truths in today's Holy Land. With holy chutzpah Tenenbom boldly goes where no Jew has gone before at times risking his life as he assumes the identities of Tobi the German and even Abu Ali in order to probe into the many stories in this strange land and poke holes in all of them. From the self-hating leftists in Tel Aviv to the self-promoting PLO execs in Ramallah from the black-clad Haredim of Bet Shemesh to the glowing foreign human rights activists in Beit Hanina from Jewish settlers and the Christians who come from abroad to toil with them to ardent Jerusalem monks and Bedouins in surprisingly glorious shacks Tenenbom takes on the people of the land getting to know them and disarming them as he breaks bread and mingles with anyone and everyone.
