How a former Zionist saw through Israel’s propaganda

(Katie Halper) The show talks to Jewish American filmmakers Erin Axelman and Sam Eilertsen and Jewish American activist Simone Zimmerman.

Young Jews hate Bibi "Babykiller" Netanyahu

They discuss their controversial and frequently banned documentary Israelism about the way young Jews are rejecting Zionism.

In this clip they share how they went from Zionists to critics of Israel. Erin Axelman, co-director and producer of Israelism, is a queer Jewish filmmaker (with this directorial debut) based in Massachusetts.

Sam Eilertsen is the co-director and director of photography of Israelism, co-founder of Tikkun Olam Productions, and the director of the upcoming projects Generation Green New Deal and Vs Goliath.

Simone Zimmerman is a progressive Jewish activist originally from Los Angeles, a co-founder of IfNotNow, the former head of B'tselem US, who currently works with Diaspora Alliance on issues of antisemitism and Palestinian rights.
