A new documentary series, 'The Persecuted: Michael Ben-Ari – I Accuse,' follows former MK Michael Ben-Ari during his trial for incitement to racism. Five years before the October 7 massacre, Ben-Ari warned of terrorist infiltration through the border fence and murder in the Gaza envelope communities. Today, these warnings are included in the indictment against him. The series, presented without narration, presents his version of the 57 counts and his decision to represent himself. The first episode features attorney Zion Amir and former Zehut party chairman Moshe Feiglin, alongside Dr. Shaul Sharf, who claims there is a 'criminalization of politics.' The series raises the question of whether this is legitimate law enforcement or political persecution.
