Right-wing activist and social media personality Mordechai David announced on Monday his intention to track down journalist and filmmaker Yuval Abraham globally. Abraham, who co-created the film "N.Z.A." with Rachel Shor, has reportedly avoided returning to Israel due to fears for his safety. The film, which won a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival, presents testimonies from soldiers alleging that the IDF committed war crimes in Gaza.
In a video posted on his X account, David detailed his initiative to his followers. "After we understood that he is afraid to come to the country, he knows they are looking for him, I decided to form a team and go to Italy or another place where he is hiding. We will locate him," David stated. He assured that their actions would be legal, adding, "We will pursue him, block him, harass him with cameras in his face. He feels safe because he is abroad."
David further explained his plan to organize a team, including flights, to confront Abraham wherever he is. He is soliciting donations for this campaign, arguing that Abraham is profiting from the film's international screenings while "laughing at us" and showing contempt for Israel by remaining abroad. Donations can be made through a link on Instagram to an association or by searching Google for "Brotherhood of Brothers for Justice."
The film "N.Z.A." reportedly focuses on the killing of Palestinian civilians by Israeli Air Force strikes in Gaza during the war, examining intelligence mechanisms and target selection processes through 24 anonymous testimonies from soldiers and officers of Unit 8200. Much of the film is based on investigative reports published by Abraham on the website Local Call and The Guardian, with many claims previously appearing in international media outlets like The Washington Post, The New York Times, and the Associated Press.
