On the eve of the second anniversary of the Oct 7. attack, here’s another opportunity to watch our acclaimed short film ‘Israel’s Reel Extremism’, featuring rare interviews with those Israeli troops.
Last year, Zeteo partnered with the award-winning production company Basement Films to make our first documentary, which uncovered how much extremist views have become normalized in Israel, taking hold of society through viral – and shocking – social media posts from soldiers in Gaza showcasing an almost unwatchable dehumanization of Palestinians. We called it ‘Israel’s Reel Extremism’.
In the film, we examine posts across TikTok and Instagram, some shared millions of times, that show soldiers humiliating bound Palestinians, ransacking their homes, joking as they detonate schools and whole districts, and laughing as they launch high-explosive ordnance into densely-packed areas. And then we speak to people behind those videos – from the soldiers themselves to Israeli political figures who have amplified them to everyday Israelis who’ve been radicalized watching them.
No one else in the mainstream media on either side of the Atlantic was willing to consider this story in 2024. But we did.
