History is now being written all over the Middle East, when progressive activists manage to change the political deadlock through non-violent protests, actions and demonstrations.
The documentary Israel vs Israel is a film about Jewish peace activists standing up against more than 40 years of occupation and illegal settlements. One grandmother, one rabbi, one anarchist and one ex-soldier – four Israelis trying to put an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories.
This is a film about the desperate struggle to somehow change the current situation and improve life for the Palestinians. In return, these activists face scepticism and hatred from fellow Israeli countrymen.
Israel vs Israel reveals both sensitive family discussions as well as secret testimonies from former combat soldiers. These Israelis are often portrayed as naïve, unreliable and dangerous for the Jewish state. They are often ridiculed and demonised for their honest commitment.
