The soldiers who hid behind the 'B'Zero' silhouette must pay for the blood libel

An editorial by Rami Piro sharply attacks the documentary 'B'Zero', which won an award at the Venice Film Festival. The film, based on anonymous testimonies of soldiers and intelligence personnel, portrays the IDF as an army that systematically harms civilians. The author argues that the anonymity of the witnesses is not proof and demands they reveal their identities and evidence to the competent authorities in Israel. The article warns of severe reputational damage to IDF soldiers and the State of Israel, and accuses the filmmakers of fueling antisemitism. The author cites online reactions from public figures, including Minister Amichai Shikli, who call the filmmakers 'dangerous hypocrites' and 'violent'. The article states that artistic freedom is not moral immunity, and that those who seek to tarnish the faces of IDF fighters cannot continue to hide their own faces. It also questions where the mention of the October 7 massacre is in the film, claiming the omission of context serves an antisemitic narrative.
