An opinion piece published on Arutz Sheva on September 20, 2026, takes aim at Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, who recently used an international film festival platform to accuse IDF soldiers of war crimes. The article argues that a film festival prize does not confer omniscience and that an Israeli passport does not make accusations uttered by its holder incontestable. It frames Abraham's claims as lies about heroic soldiers that a hostile world is ready to believe, referencing the stereotype of bloodthirsty Zionists and sarcastically noting the world's willingness to clap for 25 minutes for a Jew's lies. The piece is a defense of IDF soldiers against what it characterizes as a hostile international audience eager to accept negative portrayals of Israel.
