The Awakening of Young American Jews
Revealing a deepening generational divide over modern Jewish identity
Our weekly documentary curated by the editorial team at 21WIRE.
Episode One: when two young American Jews raised to support Israel – unconditionally witness the way Israel treats Palestinians – it changes their lives forever. Soon after, they would join a movement of young American Jews campaigning to redefine Judaism’s relationship with Israel, and reveal a deepening generational divide over modern Jewish identity.
Israelism has sparked huge debate on American campuses even before the events of October 7th. It follows Simone Zimmerman, who visited Israel as a teenager, and Eitan who joined the Israeli army after graduating from high school, as they discover the reality for Palestinians and radically revise their views.
The film reveals how free indoctrination trips to Israel are organised, and how heavy propagandising is crucial in preserving the Zionist narrative. .
It includes interviews with academics and political activists, including Noam Chomsky, Cornel West, Lara Friedman and a former director of the Anti-Defamation League, Abe Foxman

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
