Israel is treating the new documentary “NAZA,” by the Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, less like bad publicity than a national security crisis.
Eyal Zamir, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, pledged to use “every tool at our disposal” against the documentary, which features anonymous interviews with 24 intelligence officers and soldiers, most involved in remote strikes in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for legislation that would let the state strip Abraham and Szor of their citizenship. Israel’s culture minister has asked the Interior Ministry to investigate them for treason. Activists and staff members from the far-right party of Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir protested outside Szor’s parents’ house, where a speaker called for Abraham and Szor to be executed and their families’ homes demolished, as often happens to the homes of Palestinians.
The official calls for persecution of Abraham and Szor, who previously made the Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land” with two Palestinian filmmakers, seem strategically unwise, since they’re spurring heightened interest in “NAZA.” A press screening I went to on Wednesday, at New York’s 268-seat Walter Reade Theater, was at capacity, and I was told to arrive a half-hour early to get a seat. This is, in my experience, very unusual for documentaries of any sort, even those that, like “NAZA,” win the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
After seeing it, I can understand why Israel finds it so threatening. Its subjects described factory-scale targeting, enabled by artificial intelligence, in which little effort was made to avoid enormous numbers of civilian casualties. “The goal was quantity, not quality,” said one of the speakers. According to the sources in the film, the military chose to target...

That you are anti-sematic? Yes I did.
Hopefully most will be moving to Israel and take their wealth with them.
Actually, Bibi’s plan is to burn Israel to the ground and head off to Argentina to keep profiting off the “poor oppressed Jews” con. Bibi doesn’t care about “the Jews.” Bibi cares about Bibi.
Eli,
Just to make sure you understand the origin of that disparaging name: one of the original civil rights “leaders” (Jessie Jackson I think)called New York that because of its large Jewish population. You may know all of that already.
Having said that, 100% agree Israel has been restrained in responding to threats and attacks like October 7th, to avoid civilian casualties even at the cost of their own soldiers by using that restraint. That is amazing given what they have endured as a people. God Bless Israel.
Hopefully most will be moving to Israel and take their wealth with them.
I see you’re a fan of the idiot Candace Owens and the fool Tucker Carlson.
I see you spout deranged nonsense that has no relationship to reality.
My old Granny always used to tell me ‘Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are’.
Post a link to ‘The Bibi Files’, so the people here can actually see what you’re promoting. (And make it one that we don’t have to PAY to watch. If the creators really believe that Netanyahu is such a horrible man and danger, they should want the world to be able to see their documentary for free.)
Hamas has manufactured civilian death counts as their underground tunnels led to hospitals and schools. When a relief truck brought in food, Hamas would be stealing supplies for their underground army. They made sure their every move put the Hamas population in jeopardy.They are milking their strategy for all its worth.
Every approving commentary I have seen on this documentary has been from a leftist and/or anti-Israel source.
Promoting it doesn’t speak well for you. My own President has been subjected to the same type of effort at character destruction. Vicious players in politics are always editing, removing context, doing everything they can do to destroy an opponent.
I don’t find you any better than Carlson and Owens.
The opinion of airheaded war-groupies is of on consequence.
I see.
I haven’t paid a lot of attention to you, but may I assume you are anti-Trump and against his action in Iran?
You mean the WAR Bibi tricked him into?
NY Slimes BS.
It’s sad to see someone so consumed with hate. What would you do if every Jew suddenly vanished from the earth? You would have to find some new vitriol, some new hatred to fulfill you. Sad.
Thank the Jews for giving you a purpose in life.
I mean the war we should have undertaken decades ago. Trump’s the only one who has had the balls to do it.
What a dumb ass statement. It shows your utter ignorance. Israel is divided almost along the lines of the US in its politics. I don’t know where the hell you reside, nor do I care, but it tires me when people spout off nonsense that they pulled out of their nether regions. If you have something to say, fine. But don’t project your crap on everyone else. If you were in Israel, (which I suspect you are not), you would firmly have Haaretz up your butt.
I apologize. You are correct. Israel first. America... who cares?
