Protesters Target Director's Parents Over Controversial Film

Dozens of demonstrators gathered outside the home of Rachel Shore's parents in Savion on Wednesday evening to protest her film, "N.Z.A." The protesters accused Shore of internal betrayal, claiming she portrayed Israeli soldiers fighting on the front lines as murderers to a global audience. One demonstrator stated, "This is an act of internal betrayal, and for this act, we will not forgive, in the name of all IDF soldiers and all bereaved families." The protesters emphasized that their action transcended political divides, asserting that "IDF soldiers are above all." They called for societal condemnation of Shore and her collaborators, suggesting that such ostracization would make them ashamed to walk the streets and that they are currently afraid to return to Israel. The protest was framed as "collateral damage" in response to the film's title, "N.Z.A.," which the protesters interpreted as a reference to such damage. They vowed to conduct systematic and legal protests against Shore's associates until Israeli society rejects "blood libels" against IDF soldiers. Public relations figure Ranni Rahav publicly supported the protest, sharing videos and writing, "Well done. Well done! There is no right or left - the IDF is above all. Well done on the most just protest in the world. Salute the IDF, the fighters, the wounded, the fallen, and the families." Rahav also directly addressed Shore and Yuval, stating, "And Rachel and Yuval - go, go, go. You are exactly like the Hilltop Youth. Enemies of Israel. Shame on you."
