History

Historical Context

In December 2008 Israel began Operation Cast Lead, a three-week Gaza assault that UN data say killed about 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers. The war triggered UN Resolution 1860, Amnesty International’s war-crime warning and criticism. Today Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Culture Minister Miki Zohar invoke that scrutiny while seeking to revoke documentary makers’ citizenship, illustrating how past civilian-targeting accusations shape Israel’s legal stance.
