The award-winning documentary film ISRAELISM will be shown on Saturday evening, March 16 at 7:15 at Tacoma Community College (Auditorium in Building 2, off South 12th Street).
Following the film, there will be a discussion and Q&A with Erin Axelman, the film’s director, and Simone Zimmerman, one of the two people featured in the documentary. Zimmerman is also a co-founder of If Not Now.
Israelism is about two young American Jews who were raised to unconditionally support Israel and then while visiting there, they witness the way Israel treats Palestinians. Initially devastated, they end up joining a movement of young American Jews who are battling the old guard to redefine Judaism’s relationship with Israel.
The film won a number of film-festival awards last year, including the Audience Award for documentaries at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, Best Documentary at the Arizona International Film Festival, and the Official Selection at the Brooklyn Film Festival.
“This is a Jewish AND an American story,” says Barb Stuebing of Spokane, “of coming to terms with some hard realities that are contrary to everything we’ve believed. Some of us had a Rodney King moment of realization, while others discovered it with George Floyd, or during the civil rights movement or the Vietnam War. Most of us at some point in our lives swam in some kind of ‘kool-aid’ and then had a reckoning. These two young Jews bring us along on their journey of understanding the moral challenges of Zionism.”
This event is sponsored by Jewish Voice for Peace/Tacoma. Co-sponsors include the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace & Justice, Tacoma Democratic Socialists of America, and Veterans for Peace of Tacoma (134).
This event is free and open to the public. Find it on Facebook HERE. An RSVP is appreciated but not required (email address below).

The 13th Annual Pierce County Bike Swap is a FREE family-friendly community event put on by Ride Together Pierce, where anyone can sell or buy used bicycles and bicycle parts. We encourage you to bring a helmet if you plan on test-riding bikes.
At the Bike Swap, Ride Together Pierce is planning on providing:
- BIKE CORRAL: Buy a bike or sell a bike at our Bike Corral. If you have 1-2 bikes to sell, this is the recommended route. There are no listing or selling fees. You do not need to sell a bike to buy, or trade. Come find your new-to-you ride!
- BIKE SAFETY CHECKS: Make sure your future bike is safe to test ride by taking it through a quick safety check first by a professional bicycle mechanic.
- LOW-COST HELMETS: Provided by Downtown on the Go, bicyclists can purchase affordable helmets and get a proper helmet fitting.
- BIKE MAP MASTERS: Discuss best biking routes with seasoned local riders at the Bike Map Masters station.
- BIKE SKILLS PRACTICE AREA: Folks of all ages and abilities can practice safe riding skills such as balancing, scanning, stopping, turning, and more.
- VENDORS: We will be inviting local bike shops and bike-related organizations to show off their products and share the latest information with you on bicycling in Pierce County. If you have several bicycles or bike parts to sell, we recommend you register as a vendor. There are no vendor fees.
