\u201cHard to watch, but hard to look away from.\u201d <\/em>
\n– <\/em>Daniel Levy, former Israeli peace negotiator<\/p>\n

5 Oct 2025 – On the second anniversary of the Oct 7 attack, here’s our acclaimed short film \u2018<\/em>Israel\u2019s Reel Extremism\u2019, featuring rare interviews with Israeli troops.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Last year, Zeteo <\/em>partnered with the award-winning production company Basement Films<\/a> to make our first documentary, which uncovered how much extremist views<\/a> have become normalized in Israel, taking hold of society through viral \u2013 and shocking \u2013 social media posts from soldiers in Gaza showcasing an almost unwatchable dehumanization of Palestinians. We called it \u2018Israel\u2019s Reel Extremism\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, we want to share it with you again, in case you missed it – or never got around to watching it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not only worth a watch for its exclusive and almost unbelievable interviews, it is a film that must be seen for what it reveals <\/strong>\u2013 and it\u2019s still one of our most-watched pieces of content ever<\/em>. If you take a look above, you\u2019ll see why.<\/p>\n

In the film, we examine posts across TikTok<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>, some shared millions of times, that show soldiers humiliating bound Palestinians, ransacking their homes, joking as they detonate schools and whole districts, and laughing as they launch high-explosive ordnance into densely-packed areas. And then we speak to people behind those videos \u2013 from the soldiers themselves to Israeli political figures who have amplified them to everyday Israelis who\u2019ve been radicalized watching them.<\/p>\n
