Jonathan’s Recommendations

Jewish Filmmakers Ask Hard Questions about Palestine

The documentary “Israelism” chronicles what happened when two young Jews started asking hard questions about Palestine that their community could not answer; and the knots of indoctrination started to come undone. The filmmakers bring you testimonies from deradicalized IDF soldiers and the stories of other young Jewish people standing up to the propaganda they received from the earliest days of Hebrew school. Most notably, the film centers Jewish perspectives, making a point to understand and articulate why Zionism is attractive especially given the historical trauma Jews have faced. This documentary is a must-see to understand the current violence in Palestine.
