The film features testimony from 24 Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers about the systems behind Israel’s killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza

A documentary examining the Israeli military systems behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza received a record-breaking standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday.

NAZA, directed by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, drew a record-breaking 24-and-a-half-minute standing ovation at its world premiere, the longest at Venice, according to Variety.

The reception surpassed the 22-minute ovation given last year to Kaouther Ben Hania’s The Voice of Hind Rajab, which tells the story of the six-year-old Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces in Gaza in January 2024.

    Wait so if I’m understanding this, the film is praising Israelis for bragging about their crimes against humanity? JFC. Just when you think they can’t get worse, they somehow act worse.
