Movie - Israelism
Apr 8, 2024
Join us on Friday, April 12 in the Lopez Library Meeting Room for Israelism, the 2023 American documentary about the portrayal of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in American Jewish institutions.
Two young American Jews - Simone Zimmerman and Eitan - are raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs. Eitan joins the Israeli military. Simone supports Israel on 'the other battlefield:' America's college campuses. When they witness Israel's mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes, they are horrified and heartbroken - the Jewish institutions that raised them not only lied, but built their Jewish identity around that lie.
Movie at 7:00
Doors open at 6:45
Discussion afterwards
