The documentary 'NAZA' features anonymous Israeli military officers describing how total surveillance and AI systems identify targets in Gaza. They discuss the concept of NAZA, the acceptable number of civilian casualties permitted alongside a target, which can range from 20 to 100 people. The film highlights how AI categorizes individuals as terrorists based on phone patterns and social connections, leading to deadly strikes.

One interviewee calmly admits to participating in genocide, a word spoken only once in the film. The Israel Defense Forces have denied the allegations, while Culture Minister Miki Zohar accuses the filmmakers of treason. The documentary focuses on the educated, cosmopolitan Israelis making day-to-day decisions, rather than political ideologues.
