This is something a strong nation that is secure in its moral identity would do
They are a free nation. Free to deport or murder anyone they want to.
The only democracy in the middle east apparently!
*Democracy with Israeli characteristics
Mmmm why don’t I believe you
Idk prolly antisemitism 🤷♀️
Ok now I believe you
I just want to point out how to many people, the crimes against the Palestinians aren’t legitimate until the story is told by an Israeli. The way Israeli voices are viewed as credible while Palestinian voices are suspicious is one of the most pervasive consequences of the colonial project.
I don’t mean to criticize these filmmakers for their identities or imply their project is bad. I’m saying that all of the coverage of this leans heavily on their identities as a mark and sign of authenticity and repute. Compare to the Arab journalists who literally died to bring you this same story.
Reminder of the irony of the term:
NAZA is a military acronym derived from the Hebrew term nezek agavi,[4] and is used by the Israeli Defense Force to indicate the number of civilians expected to be killed in an airstrike as collateral damage, also known as Non-combatant casualty value
Ironic that the Israeli government uses a term that many people will confuse with “NAZI”.
The Israeli Supreme Court ruled in 2022 that the government can revoke an Israeli person’s nationality if they fail to show “loyalty,” including through acts that are found to be treasonous. The interior minister must submit a revocation request to the justice minister and judges must also validate the revocation.
Just apartheid state things.
Pledging allegiance to the flag springs to mind, from two historical examples.
Isn’t Israel supposed to be a bastion of freedom and democracy in the Middle East?
no
It never was
The entire co concept of Zionist state is based on genocide. Not sure what these people expect when they realize this system for what it is. Every human coming from another country should pack their stuff and leave before it is too late.
They literally want to go Old Testament on people, and we should kind of be above that by now.
so NAZA filmmakers are israelis? lol
There are a lot of progressive Israelis that are fully on board with what us in the West are saying about the genocide.
You don’t get to hear them much but there is definitely resistance. Thank god.
Must be painful when Israeli Jews* point out and unveil the atrocities perpetrated by Israel.
Of course they call it treason.
Can’t wait to see the film. Classic Streisand effect!
* going by their names
PS: I thought NAZA is a portmanteau of Nazi and Gaza, created by the film makers. Israeli intelligence itself coming up with that name is a self-own imo.
PS
Yes, the name is very unfortunately hilarious. You know 75% of the people seeing the term (like me before I understood what it actually meant) will associated it with “nazi”, especially considering the current state of Israeli politics. It’s almost too on the nose.
Israel are the Nazis of the 2020s I hate you Israel as much as I hate Nazi Germany and almost as much as I hate child predators…
Just the 2020s? You should hear some interviews with early IDF members when they were ethnically cleansing Palestine in the 40s and 50s.
These old farts on camera just chuckling to themselves as they retell gunning down civilians that were on their knees.
I mean, the IDF are essentially child predators at this point so…
I choose to believe that 10 years from now, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor will be leaders of a free Israel-Palestine, and the people who called for their denaturalization will be dead or living out life sentences for perpetrating atrocities.
I hope Abraham and Szor are careful, though. That future does assume that they survive long enough to reach it.
Either way, there can be no doubt that history will view their journalism and activism with great admiration.
