MembersThe AI apocalypse and the ‘NAZA’ blood libels against Israel

The film NAZA that makes dubious claims about the IDF slaughtering Palestinian civilians may help bolster an antisemitic trope blaming the Jews for a new global threat.

While I’m sure that most Israelis are also interested in the possibility that our computer/robot overlords will soon render us extinct, headlines in the Jewish state have largely focused on another controversy in which AI plays a subsidiary role.

Bolstering the ‘genocide’ lie

The 25-minute standing ovation given to a documentary film called “NAZA”—a reference to a Hebrew military acronym for nezek agavi, which means “collateral damage”—at the Venice Film Festival shined a spotlight on the new movie. It’s the work of journalists Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, two vocal Israeli members of the far-left activist class who not only oppose the security policies backed by the majority of voters, but have a history of publicizing dishonest and fabricated atrocity stories besmirching the Jewish state in film and print.
