The Shakshuka System (Hebrew: שיטת השקשוקה‎) is a 2008 Israeli documentary film created by the Israeli investigative journalist Mickey Rosenthal and the Israeli director Ilan Abudi. The film focuses on the connection between private capital and government in Israel and suggests that a system exists whereby the State of Israel sells its limited resources, cheaply, to a handful of wealthy families. The film shows this by specifically focusing on the business relationship between the political leadership in Israel and one of the wealthiest families in the Israeli economy – the Ofer family.

The film won the Ophir Award for Best Documentary film in 2009.

While the film was being produced, the Ofer Brothers Group filed a lawsuit against the creators of the film and no Israeli TV channel would show it. Initially the film was screened in Cinematheques, different events, and in the Knesset. A year after the premiere, it was broadcast on Channel 1, followed by a film produced by the Ofer Brothers in response. In February 2010 the lawsuit was dismissed.

Au lendemain du 11 septembre 2001, des voix se sont faites entendre, partout dans le monde, pour accuser les Juifs d’avoir commandité les attentats de New York et Washington… Une telle mystification n’est pas sans rappeler celle des tristement célèbres “Protocoles des Sages de Sion“, prêtant aux Juifs depuis plus d’un siècle l’intention de prendre le contrôle de la planète. Frappé par le regain d’antisémitisme qui sévit dans son pays, Marc Levin part à la rencontre de tous ceux qui persistent à croire que les Juifs ont orchestré le 11 Septembre – et qui contribuent à faire “des Protocoles des Sages de Sion“ un best-seller. Son périple au cœur de la haine et de l’intolérance commence.

The film focuses on two young rap artists, Subliminal, an Israeli Jew, and Tamer Nafar, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, and focuses on their music, friendship, and their politicization as public figures. The film traces the relationship between Tamer and Subliminal, as the events of the Second Intifada unfold, and lets the viewer draw conclusions from the souring relations between the two as an individual representation of the polarization process which took place during these years of bloody conflict. In this aspect, the film succeeds in delivering the atmosphere of the loss of hopes for peace after the failure of the Camp David summit between Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat and the renewed intensity of the conflict since. The film was featured in the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival.
