American Premiere | Palestinians Are Jews explores the complex and often hidden connections between Palestinians and Jews, challenging the perceived divide between the two communities. Filmmaker Tal Sarid traces his own family history—from his father’s family in Iran, who assimilated in Israel, to relatives who remained in Iran and converted to Islam—to reveal how historical, social, and religious forces shaped identity over centuries. The documentary presents the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from an unusual and sometimes uncomfortable perspective, portraying it as a “brotherly war” and highlighting the shared roots and intertwined histories of the people who live there. Through personal stories of courage and resistance, the film invites viewers to reconsider long-held assumptions and gain a deeper understanding of a conflict that continues to shape both the region and the world.
