I can tell you what I know for sure, that films have effects on individuals and they change the hearts of individuals. And the only reason why I know this for a fact is because it happens to me. Like when I was younger, I remember I watched a documentary called Five Broken Cameras, which was also nominated for an Oscar and was created by an Israeli-Palestinian team.

I grew up 25 minutes away from Basel's village near the Be'er Sheva area, which is in the south of Israel. And I mean, I lived my life and, you know, you don't know or you don't see, or maybe you see, but you kind of tune out of the realities happening in the West Bank and what Basel's community has been going through. I would always hear about Palestinian teenagers in the West Bank

throwing stones at Israeli soldiers or at Israeli settlers. And when you don't know anything about the context, when you imagine that they're just living normal lives like your lives, the explanation that you put on these acts of violence is always going to be they're doing that because they hate us, because they are evil.

No, look, I do believe that, and I'm not the only Israeli, Israelis talk about this all the time, that part of the conditions which allowed for October 7th was an Israeli right-wing policy for decades that's set to empower Hamas in Gaza, weaken more moderate Palestinians, keep a separation between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to prevent a Palestinian state.

I do believe that people retain moral agency. So I think... Horrible war crimes were committed on October 7th. Three people that I knew were killed on October 7th.
