Students from the Amit Lahava Ulpana in Kedumim have produced an English-language informational video in response to the film "NZA." In the video, they share their lived experiences since the outbreak of the war and object to what they describe as the portrayal of IDF soldiers. "We are not speaking from the sidelines; this is our reality," the students state. They recount how family members enlisted after October 7th, leaving their homes and routines to defend the country. "It hurts us to see a film that presents our soldiers and our army through a narrative we simply do not recognize," they said. The students emphasized that criticism and questions are permissible, but added, "When they present those who protect us as if they are the enemy, we cannot remain silent." The video also aims to highlight the families behind the soldiers, stating, "Behind every soldier is a family, behind every uniform is a person, and behind every story is a reality worth understanding." Ouziel Vatik, Head of Kedumim Council, praised the initiative, expressing pride in the students for voicing their perspectives. "While some try to slander Israel globally, these young women bravely present the true reality we experience here daily," he remarked.
