Israel’s detractors often paint the security barrier, and the checkpoints that accompany it, as tools Israel uses to oppress the Palestinians. This documentary investigate the real story behind the checkpoints and their existence, and examines the rational behind the checkpoints and the effects it has on Israelis. It’s clear the checkpoints have stopped suicide bombers and saved Israeli lives. While they are not ideal, until there is peace, does Israel have any other choice?

So many times I see posts like these on social media sites where people so far removed from the problem think the two sides should just “stop fighting” and “get along already”. One thing people seem to be overlooking, in order for true peace to be attained, you need to have a partner for peace. As this video reveals, unfortunately, Israel doesn’t have a partner.

“As Bay Area high school students, we encounter people who hold many preconceived notions of Israel. Some of our teachers openly condemn Israel for being an apartheid state and engaging in other monstrosities; fellow students speak of Israelis as murderers; and many peers refuse even to acknowledge Israel’s legitimacy as a state.
Therefore, my WOFI team chose to make our documentary about Israel’s public image and about how it is being demonized by falsified media in “Pallywood,” a widespread effort to present the Palestinians as hapless victims of Israeli aggression. While filming, we met people who gave us a great deal of insight into the topic and opened our minds to the dangers.
Today, most people trust the media to always tell the truth, even when it lies. Anti-Israel forces use the international media as a powerful channel to spread disinformation. By exposing the lies of Pallywood we want to put a spotlight on their malicious efforts. Our goal is to reveal the damage that’s been done to Israel’s image by Pallywood and show Israel in a brighter light–because we feel that we must do our part to protect the only real democracy in the Middle East.”
Israel is a diverse country, with Jews from all over the world and from all different backgrounds, traditions, and beliefs. Like the nation it defends, the Israel Defense Force is a unique blend of soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Our documentary shows why soldiers who do not have to serve, do so anyways.
What is the miracle of Hanukkah really about? One days’ worth of olive oil lasting for 8 days, was indeed, miraculous…. but there is so much more to this holiday than meets the eye. Hanukkah is the miraculous story of the Jewish People, and as you will see, the story never ended. It lives today in our times, through the miracle of the State of Israel, and the modern-day Maccabees who answer to the call “Mi LeHashem Elai” – “Who is with Hashem is with me!”
Israel may be a small country, but it is packed full with breathtaking nature, an abundance of plant & animal species, thousands of years of fascinating history, and a rainbow of cultures and traditions
Jerusalem, a mosaic of different peoples, faiths, and nationalities. Nevertheless, despite this diversity, under the sovereignty of Israel, Jerusalem is a city that works. But has it always been this way?
This feature documentary takes the audience on a disturbing journey deep into a culture that few can comprehend — that of suicide bombers. Filmmaker Pierre Rehov examines the phenomenon of suicide bombers through rare and never-before-seen interviews with actual family members of terrorists the prisoners whose bombing attempts have been thwarted and exclusive footage of a terror bomber as he prepares for mission. One important fact this documentary uncovers is that suicide bombing and the killing of innocent people has more to do with twisted religious doctrines than Israeli occupation.
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, many in the West swore that never
again would we allow such an atrocity to occur. And now the West is
actually pitching in on Israel’s destruction.
