Israelism is a 2023 American documentary about the portrayal of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in American Jewish institutions. Directed by Erin Axelman and Sam Eilertsen, it has screened at various film festivals in the United States and won a Brooklyn Film Festival Spirit Award. The film is critical of Israel's treatment of Palestinians, and of the American Jewish community's education on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. It follows two American Jews as they learn about the conflict and come to revise their views. The film also includes interviews with academics and political activists. Some late 2023 screenings of the film at universities and other venues in the U.S. and Canada were canceled, following an online campaign accusing the film of antisemitism, with screenings reinstated following criticism from academic and civil liberties organizations.
