The public is invited to a showing of the film "Israelism" Sunday April 14 at 3:00pm at the Greensboro United Church of Christ. Ellora Stone from Jewish Voice for Peace will give an introduction to the film and provide context for it in the current situation in Gaza and Israel.
After the film there will be a Q&A and discussion.
The following is a summary of the film.
"Israelism" traces the journey of two young American Jews as they become aware of the Occupation and Israel's dehumanization of Palestinians and begin to question whether support for Israel should define their Jewish identity. The film features a range of American Jewish thinkers, community leaders and activists, and asks how Israel became the cornerstone of American Judaism, what the consequences have been, and what will happen as divisions continue to grow.
