'Israelism': How deep do indoctrination and Israeli army glorification go? | Talk to Al Jazeera

The documentary Israelism examines the rift among Jews regarding Palestine, highlighting young people's increasing criticism of Israel and Zionism.

This divide is driven by firsthand accounts of Israel's actions in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

As the film faces opposition from groups trying to cancel its screenings, its main protagonist, Simone Zimmerman, and its co-director and producer, Erin Axelman, talk to Al Jazeera.

This isn't about being traitors to your own people, the people who say that are traitors to humanity and are trying to divide, conquer and manipulate in the cause of fascism.
I love you people, thank you so much for your courage

[fadius]

Incredible human beings. As an American of Palestinian descent, thank you so much to you both. Your voice is so important right now.

[suitcasesal]

These courageous young people really have it right. The future is in their hands. With more young people like them in this world peace is truly possible.

“The biggest insult to the memory of the Holocaust is not denying it, but using it to commit genocide against the Palestinian people.” - Norman Finkelstein

"In a time of deceit telling the TRUTH is a revolutionary act." George Orville. Loads of respect to these young filmmakers & the Jewish people around the World who have stood with the Palestinians.

I am from arabe country, and I love you both so deeply, with all my heart, because you give me hope in humanity. You are the light of hope for all those belief in fraternity between peoples.

[jo-annerichardson]

Well done. Kudos to these two wonderful and enlightened young people. ✌❤

[ZiadHilou]

As a Palestinian I Admire the two people and they have all my support and respect ✊

[HolySpiritGuidedIndividual]

As an Orthodox Christian who was never taught to hate anyone, especially not for a firm belief in God, I applaud these young Jewish people for their courage. A real pleasure listening to you. It is hard to watch the Zio n ists in each religion go against Gods fundamental laws. Evangelicals today are the biggest of hypocrites and do not follow Noah, Moses or Jesus Christ. Thankyou for your strength of character. ❤

The lowest point in human history, a Palestinian 6 year old girl in a devastated car and dead relatives ... calls for help on the phone
BAm BAM Bam !!!!
Can't get it out of my mind

[princemahadi]

In this regard AJ English plays a vital role ❤

[ArzuAytac]

We must understand well and not be superficial. 🇮🇱 and 🇺🇸 do not want to liberate the kidnapped people, neither through negotiations nor militarily, because that is the only way to continue the aggression. If they are restored, the whole world will turn against them and tell them that they have been liberated and must end.

[Hesham_]

When I see this younger generation I actually for the first time believe that the Palestinian liberation has a chance.

[acobbongcarawan]

Very grateful to the 2 guests who have at least the hearts that feels and eyes that see and and who love peace & equality of justice to all mankind. May God bless & guides to the real path.

[cromana]

Thank you so much.❤ As you said, having no accountability IS terrifying. With out justice what is our society? Much respect.

[sybilwarner]

The truth shall set them free. Big up Simone & Erin.

[McCraeMotto]

It is so refreshing just to hear truth being spoken from some wonderful young Jewish people. For too long I have heard lies lies and more lies.
