00:00:00.018 --> 00:00:02.438
"I think those two filmmakers should be punished.

2
00:00:02.478 --> 00:00:07.098
How about you?" Um, I think-- I, I come down a little bit with the professional

3
00:00:07.158 --> 00:00:13.138
level. I think they should be ignored as much as possible because, uh, it's not-- Um,

4
00:00:13.638 --> 00:00:18.958
if we make-- If, if we punish them, whatever that means, basically, uh, what you're--

5
00:00:19.458 --> 00:00:23.346
you're, you're, you're making them into martyrs, and this will- Make Israel look like

6
00:00:23.406 --> 00:00:26.266
a North Korea or Iran trying to stifle dissent.

7
00:00:26.306 --> 00:00:28.906
Of course, it's a libel, it's a disgraceful libel.

8
00:00:28.966 --> 00:00:32.706
It's, it's-- They haven't been able to prove anything.

9
00:00:32.726 --> 00:00:39.446
In fact, one of the, um, soldiers who was, uh, filmed i-in the documentary apparently

10
00:00:39.486 --> 00:00:44.066
came forward and said that he-- his testimony was manipulated, and they were offered

11
00:00:44.106 --> 00:00:48.526
money depending how, uh, uh, how, how serious the allegations were.

12
00:00:48.866 --> 00:00:52.066
But at the end of the day, I think we have to look at the bigger picture, and we have

13
00:00:52.126 --> 00:00:57.346
to say that if we don't want to make our reputation even worse, it is at a bad level,

14
00:00:57.826 --> 00:01:02.426
then I think trying to punish what is essentially free speech.

15
00:01:02.566 --> 00:01:06.426
It's a libel, it's disgraceful, it's disgusting, but it is free speech.

16
00:01:06.906 --> 00:01:13.686
And if we go down that road, um, I think w-it will rebound worse for us.
