Raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs: Eitan joins the Israeli military, while Simone supports Israel on ‘the other battlefield’, America’s college campuses. But when they witness Israel’s mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes, they are horrified and heartbroken. Israelism questions the relationship between American Jewish identity and support for the state of Israel. Featuring interviews with prominent thinkers like Jeremy Ben Ami, Noam Chomsky, and Cornel West, this timely political documentary investigates a generational divide impacting this community. Older, established Jewish-American political leaders often equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Traditional Jewish - North American education is grounded in Zionism with the establishment of the state of Israel as a haven for Jewish refugees globally after the Holocaust. Inspired by this narrative, many North Americans have immigrated to Israel and have even served in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). At the same time, a group of young American Jews, including IDF veterans and rabbis, grapple with Palestinian displacement, ongoing violence, and the Israeli military’s treatment of the Palestinian people. They team up with Palestinian activists and protest political propaganda taught to dehumanize Palestinians. As a result, their Jewish identity is called into question by other Jewish Americans because they do not support the Israeli government. As antisemitic violence escalates in the US, a major rift within the Jewish-American political landscape appears.  Jewish Film Institute

Avec Naomie évoque un problème social en Haïti : le placement de jeunes enfants pauvres des campagnes dans des familles aisées de la capitale pour effectuer diverses tâches domestiques. Naomie, mon personnage principal, n’est pas une inconnue. C’est ma cousine. Originaire de Côtes-de-Fer, elle a quitté ses parents à l’âge de 7 ans pour travailler chez mes parents. Quand j’ai réalisé récemment qu’elle était placée chez nous pour effectuer des tâches domestiques, j’ai voulu raconter son histoire ou plutôt qu’elle me raconte son histoire.

Naomie is my cousin, talking to her brings me back to my childhood in Port-au-Prince, and her family in the country whom she left when she turned seven. It’s only today that I discovered who she really is and, thanks to her, the sense and use of « mutual aid » even in my own family.
