Sabin Tassa, whose husband and son were murdered on October 7, was reportedly silenced during a screening of the film "Nezah" in the Netherlands. Tassa took to the stage during the European premiere of the film, claiming it completely ignored the Hamas massacre. However, the Dutch audience reacted negatively, shouting "Shame on you!" at her. The author suggests this reaction stems from a deeper, emotional place, possibly viewing Israel as a murderer and Tassa's interruption as an inconvenience, especially given her Israeli identity, which might place her within a collective blame narrative.
The article draws a parallel to a separate incident involving a Flydubai flight, where a similar denial occurred. It describes an attempted attack on the flight by a pilot of Muslim origin, which was thwarted by the bravery of Israelis and an Indian pilot. The author contends that this event, with its complex details, contradicts a simplistic, ultra-progressive worldview, leading to an attempt to dismiss the incident as fabricated.
Both incidents, according to the article, involve a refusal to confront facts that complicate a narrative, leading to attempts to silence or ignore individuals who present these realities. The author criticizes this behavior as tribalistic, where attempts to introduce complexity or facts result in anger and accusations against the presenter, particularly if they are Israeli.
