The article examines the fierce and hysterical reaction inside the Israeli entity following the screening of the Israeli documentary “NAZA”, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, which won the Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

Key points highlighted in the article:

Shock from Within Israel:

The film has been described as a “second earthquake” exposing and dismantling the official Israeli narrative following the shock of 7 October 2023. It includes firsthand testimonies from 24 officers and soldiers from Unit 8200 and Israeli intelligence, who acknowledge practices involving genocide, the targeting of civilians, and a policy of direct assassinations in Gaza.

Political and Military Disarray:

The film triggered a state of emergency and widespread confusion. The Israeli military, under Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, announced investigations in response to the “global storm,” while the Israeli Culture Minister attacked the filmmakers, accusing them of treason and seeking to strip them of their citizenship.

The Film’s Reverse Publicity:

The article argues that official attempts to demonize the film and suppress its directors may provide it with the best possible free publicity. The testimonies come from prominent, internationally award-winning Israeli filmmakers as well as military personnel who themselves participated in the war, exposing the official narrative before both Israeli and international public opinion.
