“NAZA”: Our Reaction

So, like I said, it's a documentary film.

And I have to kind of put that in quotes, documentary.

And we will get to why later on.

But for the purposes of right now, it's a documentary film by two Israeli filmmakers, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Soar.

The premise of the film is very simple.

It's that the Israeli army, the IDF, uses artificial intelligence, AI, to target civilians in Gaza, even to the point of putting together missions where they knew that upwards of 500 civilians would be killed.

So let's just...

Say that again.

It's a documentary film about how the IDF uses AI to kill Gazan civilians in Gaza.

That's the bottom line premise of the movie.

And it's based on testimony.

And again, I've got to put testimony in air quotes, but it's based on testimony from, I believe the number is 25 people.

soldiers and officers in the elite 8200 military intelligence unit i've talked about this unit before shmonimataim you know in the old days you would brag if your son was a fighter pilot or was in sayeret golani and those are really great units to be in now but no unit has the bragging rights like shmonimataim 8200 If you're a mother and you tell someone that your daughter is in Shmona Matai, well, the conversation ends right there.

Because first of all, it means that she got through all these hoops to get into this super elite intelligence unit.

But just as importantly, it means that she's going to be set up with the job of a lifetime.

After she gets out of Shmona Matai, she'll be offered jobs at Google, Intel, Microsoft, various startups.

And she can pretty much name whatever salary she wants.

And then she'll go, whatever Google offers her, she'll go to Intel and they'll raise it by 10%.

I mean, if you're in Shmona Matai, you are set up socially and also economically.

I mean, you're just in a really great position.

So Shmona Matai is a super elite unit in the IDF.

And really, it's the creme de la creme.

It's the one everyone wants to be in.

But it's also the largest unit.

So don't mistake it for this small unit of, you know, a hundred people who are hand selected.
