Israelism explores changing American Jewish attitudes toward Israel, informed by Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.
The film aims to show a growing divide with many American Jews aligning themselves against the occupation and with the Palestinian cause. We show the film respectful of the suffering endured by Israelis in the Hamas attacks as well as the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Shelley Cohen Fudge, Founder of the DC Metro Chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace, and Jamal Najjab, a former Palestinian-American journalist, will lead the discussion following the film.
