Gillian Mosely has produced a follow-up film to her earlier documentary The Tinderbox, about the Israel/Palestine conflict and about how, as a Jewish person, she came to sympathise with the Palestinians. This film returns to the same subject, reiterating her argument that, since the grotesque antisemitic pogrom of 7 October, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has normalised a cruel, callous and paranoid political culture within an administration that needs far-right elements to stay in power and defer indefinitely any legal pursuit of Netanyahu’s own alleged corruption and cronyism, and that the civilian deaths in Gaza are an international scandal. Further, she says that all Israeli citizens, hawks and doves, are being asked to accept a “forever war” as a mark of patriotic loyalty; an eternal state of bloodshed.
