Naza: when a film is the news - Sponsored Content
Can a provocative film transform into an unshakeable weapon in the global battle over Israel’s moral legitimacy?
In this episode, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi dissect the intense cultural and political fallout surrounding “Naza,” the award-winning Venice Film Festival documentary that accuses Israel of systematically embracing disproportionate civilian deaths in Gaza. From the surreal spectacle of the film’s record-breaking 25-minute standing ovation in Europe to sweeping indictments and unverifiable soldier testimony, they confront how the film alienates Israeli society rather than fosters genuine moral self-reflection during the High Holiday season of teshuvah. In the process, they discuss how the total erasure of Hamas’s battlefield presence distorts Western understanding of asymmetric urban warfare.
