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

The editorial attacks the documentary "B'Z'" that won an award at the Venice Film Festival, which is based on anonymous testimonies of soldiers and claims that the IDF systematically harms civilians. The author, Rami Piro, argues that the anonymity of the witnesses is not proof and that they must reveal their identities and evidence to the authorized bodies in Israel. The article warns of the reputational damage to IDF soldiers and the State of Israel, and accuses the filmmakers of fueling anti-Semitism.

The editorial by Rami Piro fiercely attacks the documentary "B'Z'" that 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 that a silhouette is not a certificate of integrity. He demands that the witnesses reveal their identities and evidence to the authorized bodies in Israel and stand behind their words. The article warns of the severe reputational damage to IDF soldiers and the State of Israel, and accuses the filmmakers of fueling anti-Semitism worldwide. The author quotes 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 wonders where the mention of the October 7 massacre is in the film, and claims that omitting the context serves an anti-Semitic narrative.
