Guardian review logs the film’s claims
The producing paper’s review is the first English-language record many desks used: 24 military and intelligence voices, and the slang “NAZA” as expected civilian dead.

Abraham’s Venice speech is on tape
The Guardian published the directors’ festival remarks. Abraham asked Israelis to watch the film. That clip is the clean quote; do not replace it with a ministerial recap.

Culture minister threatens citizenship
Al Jazeera and DW record Miki Zohar accusing the couple of harming Israel and saying he would move to revoke their citizenship. A minister’s post is not a court order.

Ben-Gvir and the citizenship file hit English print
The Guardian’s 14 September report is the English clip-file most follow-ups cite: “disgrace” language, the citizenship threat, and the couple still abroad after Venice.

Treason language is on the record
DW reports the culture minister framing the Venice prize as shocking and the film as treason. Use this URL, not a screenshot of a Hebrew Facebook post.

Threats and far-right organizing are reported
The Guardian’s 16 September world desk names the campaign after Venice, including organized harassment. Pair this with IPI and Haaretz on the house protests — do not collapse them into one unsourced “mob.”

Second night outside a filmmaker’s home
Haaretz reports a second consecutive night of dozens outside a NAZA filmmaker’s address and “expel the traitors” chants. IPI separately logs a protest at Szor’s family home and a vow to repeat it at addresses tied to Abraham’s family.

Ashdod mural paints them as targets
France 24 reports a mural in Ashdod that marks the directors as red targets and brands them traitors while they remain abroad.

Deadline’s Venice review is in the trade file
The trade review is what booking desks already have. Link it when you write the U.S. rollout, not a recap of the smear.

CPJ and partners ask Israel to protect them
The Committee to Protect Journalists and partner groups call on Israeli authorities to protect the filmmakers’ fundamental rights. This is a press-freedom letter, not a festival blurb.

IPI and ten partners publish the protection letter
IPI asks Israel to end the official campaign, protect Abraham, Szor, and their families from vigilante violence, and keep journalists free to scrutinise the army. Ten partner groups are on the letter.

Shin Bet ask and IDF leak probe are reported
ABC News reports Zohar asking Shin Bet chief David Zini to look at the filmmakers and the soldiers who spoke, and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir ordering a probe of unauthorised disclosure.

Ynet reports 1,000+ filmmakers on a solidarity letter
The letter asks for the film to be shown and warns the smear is nearing sanctioned violence. This desk lists the report, not a forged list of famous names.
