Israelism

I loved this film. It wonderfully displayed the realization of events and helped me understand the perspective that one may have that differs from my own. No one was highlighted in a bad light it only showed true colors and I didn't come out disgusted by anyone if anything I'm more hopeful of how to advocate for change in a flaw system that the film so clearly explains. I also feel this film is the complete opposite of antisemitism and in fact shows the real threat that's out there that I didn't know is so clearly still at large. It highlights the beauty in inter faith inter culture relationships and encourages hope in humanity. Great film!

This film is SO enlightening. As a Jew who grew up thinking Israel was salvation -- a paradise -- and a safe haven, you realize the adage "too good to be true" is a more of an acute reality of its existence.

Yes, Jews have persecuted for ages, but what right do we have to transfer that trauma to another population? We don't.

What's happening in Gaza is heart wrenching - knowing this film was made beforehand is also interesting.

If you're a Jew, please watch this film. You need to see what it's like "on the other side" of the fence. Especially because there's nothing left of it.

Israel has a dark history that it's trying to cover up and forget and it's giving all Jews a bad name.

If you've seen the documentary Jesus Camp, Israelism is almost its Jewish counterpart. If you are or were among the Hebrew school-going, youth group, Jewish summer camp and Birthright crowd, please, I implore you to watch this with an open mind.

I'm giving it 8 stars instead of 10 because I wish it added in a timeline of the history of what happened so viewers can digest it better. And it never addresses the development and plight of Hamas which I think is a huge miss.

Even still, incredibly important and extremely well done. Thank you for making this.

Since October 7, we've been on a very fast track of getting up to date on over 75 years of history. It's possible most things in this documentary are less new than when it came out nine months ago. However, I watched it with my mom which was perfect for her. I recommend highly for you or those you know that need some of the basics. Others, have mentioned it being anti-s*metic. I see no evidence of this. It's typically referred to this way by zionist.

If you look at the reviews based on country, its quite revealing.

Those giving the documentary "1" star are primarily US and Israel. Clearly biased reviews.

Seeing Israel through the eyes of the disillusioned Jewish community was very insightful. I am guessing that the poor reviews are from the "pro-Israel" crowd. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn more about the heartbreaking history. I enjoyed hearing first-hand account from former IDF soldiers and Israelis on their birthright. I really felt sorry for these young Jewish people who felt indoctrinated and betrayed; they really look tortured as they learned the history of the occupation and creation of Israel. The scenes from the AIPAC conference were also quite shocking. The film flies by quickly, and I imagine it could have been much longer.

A very important film for particularly Jewish people, by Jewish people, but also for anyone supporting human rights, particularly the liberation of the Palestinian people.

It confronts the indoctrination for the support of Israel and any cost, and right now, the unquestioning support for Israel, is very dangerous for Jewish people.

I've seen this film twice and hope it becomes available globally. I feel it has supported the self-education I've been seeking to understand how and why Israel is bombarding Gaza and the West Bank and committing war crimes with the backing of the U. S. and the U. K.

Kudos to the film makers for their bravery in making this film, too. I wish they could do Q&A after every showing.
