The documentary 'NAZA,' directed by Israeli filmmakers Rachel Szor and Yuval Abraham, exposes the systematic process by which Israeli intelligence identifies and targets civilian areas in Gaza for bombing. The film, which is competing for the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, features testimonies from 24 anonymized military and intelligence insiders who describe how they developed an AI mapping tool that tracked phone signals to recommend apartment buildings for airstrikes. These insiders admit that they knew the houses they were targeting were full of children, with one source stating that intelligence officers could hear babies crying before ordering strikes. The film highlights the euphemistic language used by the military, such as 'NAZA' (an acronym for expected civilian deaths), which translates to 'collateral damage' in English. The documentary contrasts the calm, normal life in Tel Aviv with the devastation in Gaza, showing the disconnect between the perpetrators and the victims. The filmmakers, who previously won an Oscar for 'No Other Land,' emphasize that their work focuses on the systemic nature of the violence rather than individual guilt. They argue that the system is designed to distance perpetrators from the consequences of their actions, with intelligence officers working remotely from Tel Aviv while AI selects targets and drones carry out strikes. The Gaza health ministry has reported over 73,000 deaths in three years of Israeli bombardment, the vast majority being civilians. The film's executive producer, Jonathan Glazer, director of 'The Zone of Interest,' supported the film's structure, which creates a sense of a home next to hell. The filmmakers note that their work is particularly risky in Israel's current political climate, where dissenting voices could be labeled as enemies of the state. The documentary challenges viewers to confront the reality that intelligence officers know the houses they are bombing are full of children, yet continue to authorize strikes. It also raises questions about the motivations of those who speak out, with some sources admitting they felt pride in their technical expertise rather than shame. The film serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of war and the dehumanizing effects of technology in modern warfare.
