But Andrew Fox, a former British Army officer and researcher at the Henry Jackson Society, says the claims being promoted simply don’t add up.Fox challenges the film’s anonymous testimony, questions the lack of verification behind its most explosive allegations, and argues that the very process of calculating collateral damage around military targets may undermine rather than support claims of indiscriminate killing. He also explains what actually happens when Western militaries assess civilian casualties and proportionality before a strike. We also discuss the film’s reception at the Venice Film Festival, the psychology of groupthink around Israel, the consequences of publicly defending the IDF, growing hostility toward Israel in Britain, and why Fox worries that European sanctions could become the beginning of something much larger.
