Despite a legal attempt to stop it, documentary The Bibi Files, which shows leaked interrogation footage of the Israeli prime minister, made its debut at the festival
A member of what appeared to be a largely pro-Israel audience policed Gibney’s language, interrupting the producer to clarify that Netanyahu had not yet been found guilty. The attempts at seizing control of the narrative, both on screen and off, didn’t end there.
Don’t you love when people make this argument? “Well he isn’t actually convicted of blatantly committing war crimes. Just well known for it.”
The incriminating evidence in the interrogation videos have already been leaked and reported on by Israeli media. But the videos will never be shown to the public (at least legally) in that country. According to Gibney, Israeli law grants privacy to subjects who have been photographed in official proceedings, which would make publication of the footage illegal. “It’s a peculiar law to Israel [that] doesn’t affect the rest of the world,” Gibney said.
Good thing the internet exists.
“Well he isn’t actually convicted of blatantly committing war crimes. Just well known for it.”
I think this was in reference to corruption, not war crimes but I get your point.
True, he’s just so well known for the ongoing genocide and decades of oppression of the Palestinian population that the corruption charges are so easy to forget. Definitely helps put into perspective just how evil this man is.

The film, directed by Alexis Bloom and produced by Alex Gibney, builds a rigorous and damning case, posing an argument close observers may already be familiar with: Netanyahu is prolonging the devastating war in Gaza – which has amassed more than 40,000 deaths – to avoid possible prison time stemming from corruption charges. A humanitarian crisis flouting international law is all about his self-preservation.
Boy does that sound familiar
“If tens of thousands of women and children have to be massacred so I get to stay out of jail, that’s a price I’m willing to pay.”
Yeah, Bibi’s not the only sociopath that would take that choice.
Man, I can’t believe Canada harbors Hamas. I guess Israel is going to invade Canada now.
‘I’ve never seen the depth of moral corruption’
Never met the weird orange felon, I see.
Eh … Trump is stupid and greedy, Bibi is a whole different level of malice.

MBFC calls both The Guardian and Breitbart “MIXED” in their factual accuracy. For Breitbart? It’s because they’re an alt-right disinformation factory which as a policy denies fundamental and provably true scientific facts like climate change, spreads baseless, trivially disproven conspiratorial nonsense, and intentionally misleads readers left and right. For The Guardian? Well they’ve failed five fact checks in the last five years, and these fact checks are as robust as, umm…
“Private renting is making millions of people ill.”
“Private renting is making millions of people ill, but maybe this happens with other housing situations too, we don’t know, so we rate this as false.”
MBFC is a joke, and this bot is a pathetic sham.
From memory if you dig further most of those five have been retracted or corrected by The Guardian too. Apparently this does not impact the factuality rating in this case although I have seen MBFC make special note of corrections issued when it comes to other publications.
