Author Condemns Film Accusing IDF of War Crimes, Cites Hamas's Use of Children
A blogger has strongly condemned the film "NAZA," which accuses the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of systematically committing war crimes in Gaza. The author, who admits to not having seen the film, likened judging it without viewing to tasting excrement before calling it foul, stating that the "smell and retelling from people who have seen or tasted it" are sufficient.
The blogger rejected a nuanced position that suggests some IDF actions in Gaza might have been illegal and warrant investigation, arguing that Israel is not responsible for the death of any child in Gaza. Instead, the author asserts that Hamas is to blame, claiming the organization "grabs its children and strikes Jews with them." This, the author contends, makes Hamas and its international supporters responsible for any child deaths.
The author also explained the film's title, "NAZA," as an acronym derived from the Hebrew phrase "nezek agabi," meaning "collateral damage." This term, the author explained, is associated with the actions of "bandits" who fire while hiding behind women and children.
