Nova Party Survivor Calls for Public Shaming of Documentary Filmmakers

A survivor of the Nova music festival massacre, Elia Cohen, who was abducted on October 7th and released in February 2025, has called for public action against the creators of the documentary "NezA," Yuval Avraham and Rachel Shor. In a video shared on social media, Cohen expressed his outrage that the filmmakers, who he claims created a propaganda film about Israel, are able to travel freely and receive awards abroad while Israelis suffer.

Cohen described the situation as absurd, stating that the filmmakers can return to Israel and walk freely in public spaces like Dizengoff Center and Yehuda Halevi street, and dine in restaurants. He acknowledged Israel's status as a free country where individuals can express their opinions, but insisted that the public cannot allow this to pass without consequence.

Cohen urged Israelis to take to the streets, post flyers, and share images of Avraham and Shor across all possible media platforms. His goal is for the filmmakers to feel ashamed when they are seen in public. He clarified that his proposed actions would remain within legal boundaries, stating, "They are allowed to walk on the street, we will not do anything against the law."

Furthermore, Cohen accused the filmmakers of endangering Israelis and Jews worldwide. He warned that such documentaries could lead to Israelis facing hostility, including being spat on, assaulted, or cursed at when traveling in Europe, solely due to the "terrible lies" spread by the filmmakers. Cohen concluded by inviting anyone with ideas to contact him, expressing his readiness to collaborate on any initiative.
