White Supremacist Propaganda Remained at Historic Levels in 2021
In recent years, American public life has been increasingly marked by the rise of extremism and the erosion of democratic norms. A torrent of white supremacist activity and the growing prevalence of conspiracy theories have spurred some individuals and groups to commit acts of violence. American society has been further compromised by rampant misinformation, resulting in a deeply divided and polarized electorate. Concomitantly, antisemitism has been at a historic high and animates a large swath of extremist rhetoric and action.


Amidst these distressing developments, a steady stream of antisemitism among the left persists, often related to Israel. Of course, some criticism of Israel is part of a healthy political ecosystem. However, a segment of the left sometimes espouses ideas that go beyond legitimate critique and into antisemitic tropes. Others engage in rhetoric that is not antisemitic but which can have the effect of making many Jews feel ostracized or excluded.


Some candidates in the 2022 election cycle who hail from the political left have embraced themes related to Israel that range from incendiary, to dangerous and antisemitic.

ABOUT THE FILM
Cinema Sabaya


In this ode to the unifying power of art, nine women register for a filmmaking workshop with young director Rona. As the strangers, both Arab and Jewish, share the raw footage they shoot each week with their classmates, they are confronted not only by the vast differences in their circumstances but also by striking points of connection.
