On 30 April, LDFP hosted a webinar with BAFTA award-winning Jewish filmmaker Gillian Mosely, exploring the themes of her powerful new documentary, Planet Israel. Drawing on the findings, Gillian examined why 73% of Jewish Israelis were polled as supporting Israel’s conduct in Gaza, situating this within a broader “culture of conflict” shaped by intergenerational trauma, biased media reporting, and the indoctrination of young people through the military and education system. 

The discussion also considered the implications of these findings for the Jewish diaspora, particularly for those grappling with critical perspectives on Israel, and explored what role countries like the UK can play in compelling Israel to change course. 

Ahead of the film’s release in selected local cinemas this summer, confirmed screenings can be viewed here.
