Israelism Film Screening – Perth
Join @jewsforpalestinewa and @fopwa on Tuesday 1st October 2024 for a screening of @israelismfilm
Join us for a screening of Israelism, a film exploring how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically, with massive consequences for the region and Judaism itself.
The film follows two young American Jews who are challenging the dominant narrative that being Jewish means support for Israel.
“Israelism gives us an extraordinary insight into the efforts that go into shaping young Jews as
uncritical supporters of the state of Israel – as the embodiment of Jewish self-actualisation and
freedom.
The good news is that an increasing number of young Jews in the US are questioning and rejecting
this shibboleth. There is an increasing recognition that Israel – both in its formation in 1948 and
ongoing – has created an ethno-nationalist, apartheid state that ignores international law and the
very basic tenets of human rights.
Israelism helps dismantle the Zionist narrative and is a must-see documentary for both those fighting
for an end to Israel’s occupation of Palestine, but also for those supporters of Israel who feel some
discomfort with the genocidal war being waged on the Palestinian peoples.
That key lesson of the Holocaust: “Never Again” must mean never again for anyone, anywhere.”
– Janet Parker, Jews for Palestine WA
