We are fighting global antisemitic incitement and when it comes from within us it is intolerable,\u201d Netanyahu said in a video posted on Telegram. \u201cAnd now two Israeli directors portraying the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) as war criminals receive applause at the Venice festival.\u201d\u00a0NAZA left this year&#8217;s Venice Film Festival with the Special Jury Prize and received a record-breaking 25-minute standing ovation at the festival.\u00a0It shows \u201cin detail the systems behind Israel\u2019s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza,\u201d according to its official synopsis.\u00a0Netanyahu&#8217;s\u00a0comments follow those of Israeli Culture Minister\u00a0Miki Zohar, who\u00a0directly equated criticism of Israel&#8217;s actions to antisemitism\u00a0and\u00a0announced that he would \u201cact immediately to revoke the Israeli citizenship\u201d of the Israeli directing duo\u00a0Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor.Zohar called NAZA \u201cvile\u201d and the Venice Film Festival honour \u201cshocking,\u201d adding: \u201cThe self-loathing that burns in the creators, who are willing to harm their homeland just to get applause from antisemites around the world, is inconceivable and constitutes a betrayal of the state.\u201dNational Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also\u00a0described\u00a0Abraham and Szor\u00a0as a \u201cdisgrace and an embarrassment\u201d and told them to leave the country.\u00a0\u201cI am certain that your friends, that is to say our enemies Hamas in Gaza, will welcome you with open arms,&#8221; he wrote on X.The 80-minute hot-button doc, shot in secrecy at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv during the ongoing Gaza war, features interviews with 24 Israeli military intelligence officers, soldiers and whistleblowers. They describe how Palestinians are targeted\u00a0and how strikes are carried out despite Israel being aware that civilians\u00a0are\u00a0present in targeted areas\u00a0\u2013 hence the title of the film, a military acronym used by Israeli Military Forces to refer to the number of civilians expected to be killed in an airstrike in Gaza. It stands for &#8220;Nezek Agavi&#8221;: collateral damage.\u00a0The participants&#8217;\u00a0faces and voices were digitally altered to protect their identities.\u00a0When accepting the Special Jury Prize, Yuval Abraham said in his acceptance speech:\u00a0&#8220;We believe that the denial of a crime is what helps it \u2060persist and this is why it is especially important for us that Israelis watch this film, it is our country that is doing these crimes.\u201d\u00a0Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor&#8217;s previous film,\u00a0No Other Land, was released in 2024 and followed Israeli settler violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank. It won the Oscar for Best Documentary.\u00a0Hamas launched an attack on Israel on 7 October 2023. The Gaza health ministry has reported more than 73,000 deaths in the last three years of Israeli bombardment.
