NAZA, the No Other Land team's latest film, exposes American influence on Israeli aggression
Reading about American generative AI being used to kill Palestinian civilians is one thing. Hearing about it from the perpetrators is another.
NAZA, a new film by Israeli members of the No Other Land team, sheds light on Israeli tactics against Palestinians and the role of American technology in enabling these actions. The documentary, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, features interviews with Israeli operatives who describe their roles in the ongoing campaign of mass killings.
Instead of presenting a traditional on-the-ground perspective, NAZA focuses on the systematic decision-making process of Israeli officials and soldiers. The film uses the term "naza," meaning collateral damage, to dehumanize innocent victims. Many interviewees show little remorse, either claiming they were just following orders or seeking to correct a skewed narrative in the media.
The film's release has faced backlash from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who threatened to revoke the filmmakers' citizenship. Despite this, NAZA aims to provide a thorough and damning account of the current conflict, revealing how tech-driven warfare against "others" is becoming increasingly normalized.
