\[7.5\] a differenza di quel che dicono molti a me il film non ha né sorpreso né appesantito, ormai quotidianamente riceviamo queste stesse informazioni e immagini ancor peggiori di quelle che vengono mostrate. Questo film non racconta niente di nuovo, mostra sul grande schermo la crudeltà umana e i meccanismi con cui cercano di nasconderla: "sono solo un ingranaggio" "faccio solo quello che mi dice il programma" "se non lo faccio io lo farà…

Pure propaganda against all the evidence showing the opposite. It's what the leftist extremists love to see and it helps propagating hamas' fake narrative. Watch it for the trash that it is. Then have a look at all the real footage from hamas that that was made by hamas self on October 7th.

Twenty-four men and women have taken part in this tensely but very naturally directed assessment of Israeli government policy on the routine killing of what they rather neutrally refer to as "NAZA". Those are individuals who have nothing at all to do with Hamas but are deemed to be acceptable collateral damage if they happen to be located near those identified as legitimate targets. It's been filmed on the rooftops of a thriving and modern…
