🎬 Award-winning Israeli filmmaker Ari Folman has branded war as \"the most horrific, useless thing,\" delivering a passionate critique just days before Iran's missile strike on Israel. Speaking to CGTN, Folman—known for his anti-war animation Waltz with Bashir—highlighted the disconnect many Israelis feel about the Gaza conflict: \"Most have no clue whatsoever what is going on in Gaza.\"
💥 His comments, made hours before regional tensions escalated, echo widespread fatigue over endless conflict. While Folman acknowledged shared anti-war sentiment among Israelis, he emphasized the urgent need for dialogue over destruction.
🌐 As young global citizens seek fresh perspectives on complex conflicts, voices like Folman’s cut through the noise—reminding us that empathy might just be the ultimate特效 (special effect).
