Haaretz editorial: Israelis Must Finally Confront What Israel Has Done in Gaza

The creators of ‘NAZA’ are trying to force Israelis to confront what they already know: that Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza has left a black stain.

Haaretz Editorial

September 14, 2026
For three years, since the war broke out, Yuval Abraham, a director and documentary filmmaker, has been publishing investigations on the Local Call and +972 news sites regarding how the Israel Defense Forces chooses targets in Gaza. The target bank is built using extensive AI systems that generate tens of thousands of targets that are almost never subject to human review. This leads to widespread harm to civilians, defined as “collateral damage.”

Abraham isn’t the only one. Haaretz has also published important investigations on this subject. Were Israelis shocked? Was there an outcry? Did the military authorities announce they would re-examine their methods? No. The Israeli consensus largely maintains that Palestinians started the war on October 7 and therefore deserve it; that there are no innocents in Gaza, and therefore no such thing as collateral damage; and that in war, innocents die, and that’s just how it is.

But when Abraham and director Rachel Szor dared to show their film “NAZA” at the Venice Film Festival, there was an outcry from all sides. The film presents first-person testimonies from soldiers and officers involved in this system who describe how it works. Israelis have no problem saying “there are no innocents in Gaza,” but when a film is screened in Venice revealing that the IDF fights as if there are no innocents in Gaza, they somehow consider this supporting the enemy.

The shock that Szor and Abraham dare “slander Israel Defense Forces soldiers,” or “air dirty laundry in public,” or “provide ammunition for antisemitism” – or a host of other objections voiced with varying degrees of aggression – reflects an astonishingly inconsistent local consciousness. They tried to air the dirty laundry at home, but met with indifference. And anyone who thought the world needed Szor and Abraham to know that the rampant killing in Gaza is unnecessary and immoral is also deluding themselves. Israel’s problem is not public relations, but reality.

By screening their film at the Venice Film Festival, Abraham and Szor are trying to force Israelis to confront what they already know: that there’s a black stain on the way Israel is conducting war in Gaza, to put it mildly.

This is a discussion that must take place in Israel. However, most Israeli citizens prefer not to have it, and to entrench themselves in one way or another behind the idea that victimhood grants Israel moral immunity.

The filmmakers are not a rubber stamp or a pro-Israel propaganda committee. They are loyal to their conscience and their chosen profession, and bravely go against the murky current of complicity and self-censorship. Instead of threatening their lives and slandering them, the Israeli public should watch the film and finally start discussing what we have done in Gaza.

      Niño puts it aptly: MAGA means
      Miriam Adelson Governs America.

      “Carl Carlton,” born on Hitler’s birth-
      day, on the other hand, sang 7 years
      ago that “the monkeys rule the zoo.”

      Since he doesn’t claim to be one of
      them, he must therefore be just ano-
      ther one of his fellow “zoo inmates.”

    I’m still checking daily for local showtimes for “NAZA” I want to see this movie become as popular as possible. Almost all human beings have a certain underlying instinct about the Jews that they barely dare to realize is there, in themselves, but it’s an instinct, a protective one, against a known parasite. This movie will help bring it out into the open and motivate people to defend themselves against the parasite.

    The dysgenically deteriorated Chinese Han gene pool has no understanding of the evolutionary significance of AGI. And, a purely Genetically Sociopathic King Xi has criminalized Chinese evolutionary advancement, since an evolutionarily augmented Chinese population would be a threat to King Xi’s power and wealth.

    The purpose of AGI is to bring forth the next step in Ashkenazi evolutionary advancement. Organic matter is weak: https://web.archive.org/web/20051126013214/http://www.transtopia.org/intro.html

    The next step in Ashkenazi evolutionary progress is to become inorganically super-intelligent and super-physically robust androids. China has never seen the android Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The actor who played Data is Brent Spiner, who is Ashkenazi. The entire future Ashkenazi population will consist solely of Lieutenant Commander Datas, while China dysgenically de-evolves back into monkeys.

    The creators of ‘NAZA’ are trying to force Israelis to confront what they already know: that Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza has left a black stain.

    The timing of this “confrontation” ought to have tipped readers off that the fuss over this film is a typical Jewish charade, one whose primary purpose is self-justification and whose intended side-effect is distracting the goyim. They seem to be succeeding on both counts.

    As for black stains, the Jews long ago figured out how to cope with them. Yesterday, September 21, was Yom Kippur, the day when Jews around the world wave a chicken over their head three times in a ritualistic transfer of their sinfulness—to the very limited extent that they even acknowledge such a thing—to the soon-to-be-decapitated bird. Of course, both the filmmakers and their audience (Jew and Gentile alike) are too sophisticated to resort to overt chicken-waving, but the film serves precisely the same ceremonial purpose as the chicken: it unburdens the Jews of the consequences of their criminal conduct without requiring their repentance, contrition, or most important of all, firm purpose of amendment. In short, the Jews get to dispose of any black stains and begin the new cultic year with a clean slate. The next Gazan or other non-Jew they murder will count as the first one ever. What a sweet moral deal!

    I shall believe that Jews are genuinely facing up to Israelis’ evil conduct when they start reacting to the killing of Gazans or West Bank Arabs by in turn executing the men or women responsible, not merely by making a movie about it.

      The Jews have been diligent in erasing bad information about their race in history. This movie is new material which gives the world a chance to view the evil they have done to the Gazians or the Palestinians.

        In the past decade alone, “the world” has had several dozen opportunities to make itself aware of the evil Jews do. To the extent that the world has even availed itself of those opportunities, what impact have they had upon Israeli or, more generally, Jewish power and policy? To ask the question is to answer it.

        In short, harping on one film with extremely limited distribution is an exercise in futility. Haaretz is having a lovers’ quarrel with its Israeli compatriots. By next week, they will all have kissed and made up.
