Devastating expose of Israel's targeted mass killings of Gazan citizens directed by two Israelis:

I was there. And in a sense, I have been inside both films.
The first is “NAZA,” an Israeli movie that won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival and received an astonishing 25-minute standing ovation on Saturday.
Do not be deceived by the applause.
The creators are themselves Jews and Israelis. That creates a double deception: The film can be presented to international audiences not merely as an accusation against Israel, but as an accusation seemingly validated from within Israeli society itself.
Yet they employ against the Jews one of the oldest weapons in the arsenal of antisemitism: a blood libel.
I investigated the Israel Defense Forces’ war on the ground, including the deaths of civilians that “NAZA” depicts as the consequence of a deliberate policy of cruelty and extermination.
The truth is the opposite.
Then there is the second screen: Netflix, where millions of viewers around the world are watching the TV series “Fauda.” It is a magnificent series, and in its latest season, it confronts an international audience with something many people have never truly understood: the horror of Oct. 7, 2023.
In the aftermath of the Hamas massacre, I visited the burned-out kibbutzim. I walked through the homes of murdered young people and saw blood in kindergartens. I saw the dead piled up. I listened to parents and children and heard testimony about rape and other atrocities.
These are the two screens now before us: the lie and the truth.
...
Indeed, the more I have investigated Israel’s conduct of this war, the more convinced I have become of something extraordinary: Never in the history of warfare has an army done so much to try to protect the civilian population of its enemy. Never.

The documentary NAZA does not identify the people interviewed. Directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor granted complete anonymity to the 24 Israeli military and intelligence whistleblowers featured in the film. To protect their identities from legal and military repercussions, the participants' voices and appearances were digitally altered, and many were filmed only in silhouette on rooftops at night.

Nope..meticulously documented and testified to by IDF themselves in the making of this film. You can't justify genocide anymore under the sham accusation of antisemitism. The directors are themselves Jews.

That's standard practice for whistleblowers, particularly ones working for a government intent on punishing anyone who questions their genocidal campaign. You can't hide the truth forever. The world will know the facts now.

It automatically rules out antisemitism as a motive for this documentary. And loyalty is a non-issue when your own govt is committing blatant war crimes and genocide.
When a Jewish person expresses anti-Jewish ideas, is that antisemitism? It might sound odd, but yes. From the Middle Ages until the present day, there are plenty of examples of Jewish people perpetuating antisemitism, despite being Jews themselves. Sometimes it is what scholars call “internalized racism,” which is something that many minorities, including Jews, have experienced. Other times, Jews attempt to separate themselves from other Jews as a defense mechanism. But whatever the reason behind it, antisemitism from Jewish people is no more acceptable than antisemitism from non-Jewish people.

Firsthand experiences of the IDF's practices by their own soldiers is verification and confirms other independent reports of civilian carnage by Palestinians. The documentary is a powerful indictment of Israel's genocidal campaign and its use of AI technologies to intentionally target Gazan civilians.

"Other reports"? Oh, you mean from people taking the word of Hamas... again, without verification

No they aren't. They are not prejudiced against Jews and don't hate themselves as Jews. They are against the policies of the current regime of their govt, which has nothing to do with being Jewish and everything to do with their treatment of Gazans since Oct. 7. It's a very clear and specific cause based on what they have uncovered in making this film. Slandering them as antisemitic only exposes your inability to refute any of their claims.
Understanding the Term Jewish antisemitism
Internalized Prejudice: Historians and sociologists note that some Jews absorb and project the negative stereotypes, slanders, or basic assumptions of external antisemites onto other Jews or Jewish culture itself.
Targeting "Other" Jews: Scholars like Bernard Wasserstein argue that these individuals are often not literally hating their own physical identity, but rather expressing hostility or shame toward "other" Jews or mainstream community norms.
Historical Context: Throughout history, some figures have adopted antisemitic rhetoric to gain favor with oppressive rulers or dominant host cultures (historically dubbed "court Jews") or to distance themselves from persecution. You can read more about the historical background on the Self-hating Jew Wikipedia Page.

No dumbass..Reports by the Gazan govt agencies, the UN, and about a hundred other organizations tracking the causalities of this massacre.
This article is about the institution run by Hamas. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Health_Ministry
The United Nations continues to use casualty data supplied by the Hamas-run authorities in Gaza. Specifically, the UN relies on the Gaza Ministry of Health (MOH) as its primary counterpart for tracking fatalities.
Quote:I've already educated you on all this. I'm not repeating it just so you can play conspiracy theorist again.You're citing Hamas terrorists.
"As of September 2026, the total death toll reported by the Gaza Health Ministry has risen to over 72,290 Palestinians killed since the conflict began on October 7, 2023.
