Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel's War
(2025)“Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers speak out about what they saw and did in Gaza while alleging serious misconduct and potential violations of international law.”
Synopsis
Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War presents the first-hand recollections of IDF soldiers who have broken official silence to share their experiences of the war in Gaza - accounts that may raise serious questions about conduct on the ground and potential breaches of international law. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Ben Zand, the film features exclusive interviews with Israel Defense Forces (IDF), reservists and veterans - many speaking for the first time - who served during the war in Gaza. Their testimonies describe what they recall as indiscriminate bombardment, instances where Palestinian civilians were used as human shields, and an operational culture that some soldiers characterised as “no innocents in Gaza.”
Community Reviews
“While this short documentary is a must-watch for anyone with any humanity to recognize and condemn the genocide that the Israeli regime is presently commmitting against Palestinians in Gaza and the whole of Palestine, I found its inordinate focus on the perpetrators of the genocide quite disturbing and unjust. It's like watching Nazis, during the Nazi Holocaust, recount the horrific crimes they were actually still committing, with none of them showing actual remorse or a desire to put a stop to it! It is infuriating watching these monsters recount the atrocities they're committing with none of them admitting that they partake in those atrocities (which shows a total lack of remorse), all the while expecting the viewer to somehow feel remorse for all the "trauma" they're getting from committing those atrocities. I consider it a failure on the part of the producers of this documentary that they did not press these war criminals enough. Nonetheless, this documentary is an invaluable piece of historical document, if only because it exposes the Nazis of our age in their own words, while the Holocaust of our age is still ongoing. I cannot recommend it enough to any human being with at least an iota of humanity in them.”
