Understanding (some/most) Jewish people
The Jewish film “Israelism” shows how Jewish children in the US are educated to see Israel as the enemy. They are given talking points to answer criticisms of Israel but no history to give them understanding. This film shows some young Jewish people who, after visiting Israel, sometimes serving in the IDF, began to unravel when what they learned didn’t match the reality they saw and experienced. Some referred to it as “being lied to”. They now support Palestinians.
Highly recommended for all non-Jewish people, especially those who support Palestine, to enhance understanding of the Jewish mind-set when it comes to Israel - it is emotive, facts don’t matter much.
