Case in point.
Rabid Israelophobes, whose reaction to this “documentary” was entirely predictable before they had even seen it, are invited to screenings.
Meanwhile, Israeli journalists known to be less likely to accept extraordinary claims without strong evidence were denied the opportunity to see it.
So was the IDF, which explicitly requested to view the film so it could respond to its allegations.
Clearly, not the conduct of people genuinely interested in establishing the facts.
Yet another sign that NAZA is a propaganda campaign rather than good-faith journalism: for two weeks, it has been screened to carefully selected audiences and sympathetic writers, while Israeli journalists who asked to see it when it was launched were told to wait.
And when a closed screening was finally held today for journalists in Israel, many of those who had asked to see the film were not invited.
The goal is clearly to pre-program the audience ahead of the free online release in November - by carefully selecting which journalists get to see the film, form an opinion about it and help cement the desired narrative, so that by the time everyone else gets access, viewers will already have been thoroughly primed to come away with the "correct" impression.
