JERUSALEM — Not one but two Israeli-made documentaries are finalists for an Oscar this Sunday. But instead of being a cause for celebration, both movies are giving the state’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, a stomachache.
In an interview with GlobalPost, Moreh said he had, “no interest in Benjamin Netanyahu when I did this film. He never really interested me. He’s just a politician who I hope will vanish quickly. I made the movie to create a mirror image of Israeli society, to look deeply at Israeli society today, the issue of war and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and what it continues to do to our society.”
