Pourquoi Israël (sans point d'interrogation) n'a pas de synopsis classique, ne raconte pas d'histoire, mais tente d’appréhender l'histoire d'Israël, vingt-cinq ans après la création de son État, au travers d'une succession d'images du pays et d'interviews de ses habitants. Tourné en 1972, le film, qui dure trois heures vingt, est présenté au 11e Film Festival de New York le 7 octobre 1973, soit le lendemain du déclenchement de la Guerre du Kippour.

Centré sur un entretien où Claude Lanzmann revient sur sa vie et sur la réalisation de Shoah - les choix initiaux, les embûches, les dangers, la recherche de moyens pour mener à bien cette entreprise, l’épuisement…, Adam Benzine donne aussi à voir des fragments des rushes de Shoah.
