It’s highly questionable whether Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor’s film contains evidence for all its claims of Israel’s AI war technology The post ‘NAZA’ Claims About IDF Action in Gaza Deserve a Closer Look | Guest Column appeared first on TheWrap .
The 2025 film "NAZA," directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, has been accused of presenting misleading information regarding the Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF) actions in Gaza. Critics argue that the documentary's claims of tens of thousands of civilian deaths being "premeditated, calculated and intentional" are unsubstantiated.
Previous investigations by Abraham, published in The Guardian, have been criticized for lacking robust evidence and for failing to cross-check their allegations against official military records and strike reports. The New York Times, in comparison, interviewed over 100 personnel, including those involved in the vetting and strike decision-making process, and found that the IDF strictly adhered to guidelines limiting civilian casualties.
The film's alleged revelation that 83% of casualties were civilians is dismissed as baseless, as the IDF's incomplete list only identified 17% of fatalities by name. Furthermore, the film's depiction of intelligence officers possessing sensitive information is considered implausible given restrictions on access to such data. Critics believe the film exploits Abraham's prior reports to mislead audiences, urging viewers to verify claims before accepting them as fact.
