Many younger Jews are increasingly critical of Israel and less supportive of Zionism.
Simone Zimmerman, one of the protagonists of the film and a co-founder of the group IfNotNowMovement.org, says she grew up being told that supporting Israel was central to her Jewish identity.
But that collapsed once she visited the illegally Occupied Palestinian Territories [where Jews steal land in the name of Israel with the protection of armed Jewish militants of the IDF] and saw the system of racist apartheid and systematic state oppression under which millions of Palestinians live.
“It’s so deeply contrary to our values as Jewish people to support this disgusting oppression and denial of freedom,” she says.
Democracy Now! is also joined by Erin Axelman, co-director and one of the producers of Israelism, who says Zimmerman’s journey mirrors their own and those of many other young Jews who realize they “must fight for the freedom and equality of Palestinians while also fighting antisemitism.”
The film is on a 40-city screening tour in Canada and the United States after previous efforts to ban the screenings on several campuses.

palestinedeepdive.com. Let's go live on YouTube with legendary rock musician, songwriter, and founder of Pink Floyd Roger Waters.
He revolutionized progressive rock music as the founder-member and the creative force behind Pink Floyd who today continues to sell out the biggest venues across the world.
Read the Balfour Declaration: It protects the indigenous Palestinian Arabs, Bedouins, and others present in the land of Palestine (future state of Israel)
His arena tour of the U.S., "This Is Not A Drill," kicked off in July of 2022. It is described by Waters as “a groundbreaking new rock 'n roll/cinematic extravaganza...” which is a "stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to love, protect, and share our precious and precarious planet home."
It is also no exaggeration to describe Wasters as a human rights warrior, who continues to champion the rights of marginalized peoples across the world, from Palestine to Ecuador.
Mark Seddon is in conversation with Waters, discussing Israel's ongoing assault on innocent Palestinian children [who are guilty of being Arab and existing], as well as the latest news from the region.
They also explore what is being done to challenge Israel's apartheid and settler colonialism around the world today, looking towards the growing Free Palestine student movement, the UK Labour Party conference hall, the ongoing occupation of Israeli weapons factories, and towards the stands and players of elite football bearing the Palestinian flag.
Writer-director Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) brings his signature style of humor and pathos to his latest film, JoJo Rabbit, a Nazi Era World War II satire.
The story follows a lonely German Nazi Youth boy, "JoJo" (Roman Griffin Davis), whose Nazi world-view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in the attic.
Aided only by his loveable imaginary friend, German Reich Führer and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi), Jojo must confront his blind, super-patriotic, white nationalism.
(Cinema Blend) When Disney acquired Fox earlier this year, reports also surfaced that Jojo Rabbit’s new parent company [Disney] was worried about the movie fitting in with their [Disney] branding. Scarlett Johansson recently shot down the reports, explaining how “excited” Disney execs are about the dark comedy at a dinner she attended following the acquisition. Jojo Rabbit may have controversial roots, but it’s perhaps part of the reason why the movie is getting so much buzz ahead of Oscar season. The movie is one of Toronto International Film Festival’s most anticipated films. Stay tuned for reactions following its premiere this Sunday, September 8.More
In theaters Oct. 18, 2019. Directed by Hitler (Taika Waititi), screenplay by Taika Waititi, based on the book Caging Skies by Christine Leunens. Produced by Carthew Neal, p.g.a., Taika Waititi, p.g.a., Chelsea Winstanley.

Are there Jews who are against Zionism? First of all, what is "Zionism"?
It is the movement of European Jews, the Ashkenazi and Sephardi, to "uninhabited" (as if) territory in North Africa (the make believe "Middle East," as whites renamed it because they couldn't bring themselves to say anything nice about the black motherland, Africa).
Here Rabbi Dovid Feldman educates us about the what real or "orthodox" Judaism has to say about Zionism.
Tell Trump we're ready to deal for cash.
Many Muslims are vehemently opposed to Zionism, but let us not fall into the trap of equating the crimes of Israel with the actual teachings of the Jewish religion.
How can we be against our fellow members of an Abrahamic faith in the Jewish tradition?
Boycott Israel until siege of Gaza ends.
Just as the Islamic World was taken over by several secular states that spread chaos, disorder, and corruption in Muslim lands, the same thing has happened to the Jewish community. We must all unite forces in order to oppose the crimes of the "state" of Israel.

"It is an absurd contradiction to speak of peace, to negotiate peace, and at the same time promote or permit the global arms trade.
"Is this war or that war really a war to solve problems? Or is it a commercial war for selling weapons in illegal trade and so that the merchants of death can get rich?”— Pope Francis
We have a revolution?
CODEPINK, Wisdom Quarterly, Bernie Sanders, and partnersare taking on the war machine. #DivestFromWar!
Who cares about guns in the hands of a few when we are putting weapons of war in the hands of the many? We pay taxes for it, vote for it, and suffer for it.
How can we stop? We must divest our society from weapons manufacturers in the U.S. and Israel.
Divesting or pulling out of the business of war, rejecting the "war machine," means no longer investing our money in companies that make a killing on killing.
Some corporations purposely profit from military interventions and expansions. They are "war profiteers" in government and industry. Divest from War campaign will:
Empower individuals, institutions, and communities to change their investments and support peace and sustainability
Instead of war, death, and destruction we want life, health, and sustainability
Highlight how the war machine is in our streets and in our communities impacting us all
Expose how the war machine is taking precious resources away from good programs
Industries that support us, from education to housing to the environment, that are being deprived
Amplify the cost of war at home and abroad.
Making peace makes more sense than war.
Let's re-prioritize human need over military spending. The war machine has resulted in a system that expands violence and waste.
It results in death, maiming, PTSD, moral injury, poverty, and environmental destruction.
Our U.S. is constantly preparing for war and scaring us to do it. That is the money-making "job" of the mainstream media.
Killing by Remote Control
It is draining resources from programs that support human, animal, and plant life on our planet. Let's invest in diplomacy and life.
Let's divest ourselves of war money. This is a call to radically re-evaluate our/US priorities.
Let's stand up to military men, corporations, and bankers who are holding us hostage.
They are destroying our ability to invest in education, sustainable development, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and resolving the inequalities in our society.
We can and we must build a "permanent peace economy." This means we must withdraw power from those invested in war. More
Pink Floyd co-founder, singer, bass player Roger Waters (the British musician who wrote "The Wall" and now lives in the US) has in recent years become one of the most prominent musicians supporting the BDS Movement:Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israel.
BDS targets Israel because of its genocide and daily mistreatment of Palestinians. Waters is scheduled to play this weekend in Long Island, New York, despite attempts by Nassau County officials to shut down the concerts citing a local Anti-BDS bill.
Roger Waters epic speech against Israeli occupation of Palestine
Despite this, Roger Waters has continued to speak out. Last week, he wrote a piece in The New York Times titled "Congress Shouldn’t Silence Human Rights Advocates." In the op-ed, he criticized a bill being considered in the Senate to silence supporters of BDS (bdsmovement.net). More
Now I get it, Bibi. You were groomed by our CIA. You work for US. - You got it. Send Jared.
Today Scott Horton had on a guest who explained how Israel continues to commit crimes and atrocities against Palestinians without Americans much noticing or caring. Horton pointed out that most Jews in the U.S. oppose Israel's mistreatment and oppression of non-Jews in Palestine/Israel.
Scott Horton is host of Antiwar Radio for Pacifica, KPFK.org (90.7 FM, Sundays 8:30 am) in Los Angeles and KUCR
88.3 FM in Riverside, managing director of The Libertarian Institute, podcasts the "Scott Horton Show" from scotthorton.org, and is opinion editor of AntiWar.com. Horton has
conducted more than 4,000 interviews since 2003. He is a fan of but has no
relation to the lawyer from Harper’s. He lives in Austin, Texas, with
his wife, investigative reporter Larisa Alexandrovna.
Ruebner explains how the act would criminalize U.S. corporations and
individuals for supporting or furthering the impact of a boycott-divest-sanction (BDS) movement against
Israel.
Despite obvious major free speech restrictions the bill has
support from both Democrats and Republicans, many of whom are already
backing off their commitment to the bill.
What’s really disturbing about
the bill according to Ruebner is that companies could be criminalized
even if their business decisions had the effect, but not intent, of
furthering a boycott of Israel. Beyond that, if the bill became law,
Attorney General Sessions would have the power to jail someone ostensibly for their political beliefs.
Ruebner explains how the
bill has already created blowback against AIPAC and Israel: Constituents
are pressing members of Congress on this issue for the first time and
the progressive wing of the Democratic party is feeling more emboldened
to speak out in support of the Palestinians, making it clear that the
base of democratic voters no longer on board with Israeli policy of the
past.
Finally, Ruebner discusses the necessary conditions for a
political solution between Israel and Palestine and how the BDS movement
has successfully convinced companies to divest from Israel.
