An Israeli-made film accusing the IDF of war crimes just received a staggering 25-minute standing ovation in Europe, and the reaction inside Israel couldn’t be more different. 
Former Israeli ambassador to the UK Mark Regev and senior contributing editor at JNS Ruthie Blum take apart the controversy surrounding Naza, a film alleging that Israeli forces used AI to target Palestinians in Gaza while disregarding civilian casualties. They challenge the film’s anonymous military sources and ask why some of Israel’s harshest domestic critics receive such enthusiastic receptions overseas. The bigger question: does the applause in Venice reveal something far more troubling about how attitudes toward Israel have changed across the West?
