This is Yuval Abraham יובל אברהם's first Hebrew interview since NAZA won the Special Jury Prize at Venice. Channel 13's Raviv Drucker presses him for 9 minutes, and the questions alone tell you how Israelis are processing this film. Subtitled it for English speakers.

If a nine minute Hebrew interview can tell you more about where Israel's head is at than a week of English headlines, that's the gap my newsletter Adraba exists to close. Subscribe here:

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker What a courageous, determined, intelligent young man!

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker So much of this was "Why didn't you show the context that would make the war crimes ok?" 🤯 I'm impressed that @yuval_abraham 's response was as mild as it was.

Incredible exchange. Just looking at the reactions this documentary is getting across the spectrum tells me that it has touched a raw nerve.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Raviv Drucker is pressing Yuval on journalistic standards and Yuval’s response is that he can go make his own documentary. 🤔

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Thanks for the subtitles.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker No. Actully Ami - it tells us about you. Questions are legitimate. No answer on creadability of total anonymous sources - is the problem here.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker And your tweet tells us about you, so I guess we're even Eyal. He answered the questions perfectly, you decided to ignore his answers.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker He is so brave. I have so much admiration for him and those he works with.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Looks like a generational gap with a cautious scared reporter who does not want to rock the boat - and a younger more couragious person saying "these people have a right to be heard - and I gave them an outlet - what the fuck did you do" thanks for the subs!!!

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Hebrew has got to be the ugliest language on the planet. It sounds like the language of Mordor

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker It sounds as though the host is strongly suggesting that the IDF grunts cannot be believed

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker I know (from being attentive to Israeli media and writing) how Israelis have reacted to Genocide, their reaction to this film does not interest me in particular.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Interesting point about other armies & terrorists embedded in communities. The British Army in Northern Ireland were ruthless & detained without trial, tortured & shot innocent people. But they didn’t use 2,000lb bombs otherwise Belfast and Derry would look like Gaza.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Yuval is a hero. The other journalist is a coward.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker He is very good. I would have add one question to the interviewer : what if everything is true, what’s your point of view ?

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Most Israelis are processing it much worse than Drucker’s questions which allow him to answer - if that was the standard …

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Thanks for the subtitles

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Israeli media was challenged to do its own investigation into the crimes of their army but chose not to because what they will see in the mirror is very ugly.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Israelis need to be deradicalized, the all have cell phomes and social media they deserve no excuses

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Israeli journalism writ large will have its day at The Hague. “Complicity” doesn’t even begin to describe their role in the genocide.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker No thanks, I don’t need Zionism lite. Any more than I need Nazi lite. But help yourself.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Thanks for the subtitles. Regarding comparisons between how other armies dealt with terrorists, the British army were no different in Ireland, they just didn't have the same technology then but the principle was the same. Get the terrorist, everyone else was collateral damage

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker he's extraordinary!

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker How much did hamas paid them

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker LOL the demon soldiers waited to speak to someone because that’s what they do. They advertise and brag about their sadism. Fuck this entire country, fuck this film, this so called journalist, fuck all of them.

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker and of course israeli media CAN and WILL broadcast any fucking wild lie any israeli dreams up about hamas actions without "supporting evidence" #racists

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Higherdimensional shapeshifter

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker .

@yuval_abraham @RavivDrucker Has 'Naza' inadvertently proven once that there is no 'genocide'? After all, if the whole film is about 'collateral damage' if proves that the Israelis are not targeting civilians It remains to be seen how valid their anonymous claims are but even if true, disproves genocide
