🎞️ About the Movie:
How Israel Won the West explores how Israel came to hold a privileged place in the Western world. Tracing the Jewish journey from ancient origins through persecution, Zionism, and the creation of Israel, the film reveals the transformation of Jewish identity within the West and the deliberate alignment of Zionism against Arabs and Muslims. It exposes the settler-colonial foundations of Israel’s occupation, the marginalization of Arab Jews, and the crucial “special relationship” with the United States. Amid ongoing violence and the devastating war on Gaza, the film challenges the Western narrative that justifies Israel’s actions as a defense of civilization, revealing a brutal reality of occupation and suffering.
