It’s hard to describe all of the feelings provoked by watching a film like Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor’s NAZA. Outrage for sure. Indignity as well. Most certainly disgust, on a profound level, for the current Israeli regime and its prime minister, Bibi Netanyahu.
Yet this sober and thoroughly documented bombshell of an exposé, in which two dozen IDF intelligence officers detail the systematic targeting and murdering of civilians in Gaza since October 7th — how it was carried out deliberately and with state-of-the-art precision — also leaves one with a deadening feeling, as if humanity may have lost all hope.
The Bottom Line
A crucial act of bearing witness.
