“This year is absolutely disastrous,” says award-winning Israeli film director Ari Folman, voicing a deep frustration shared by many. Speaking candidly about the ongoing conflicts, Folman declares, “War is the most horrific, useless thing.”
Known for his critically acclaimed film “Waltz with Bashir,” which delves into the psychological scars of war, Folman continues to be a vocal advocate for peace. He highlights a troubling disconnect within Israeli society, stating that while many share his disdain for war, they “have no clue whatsoever what is going on in Gaza.”
Folman’s remarks shed light on the complexities of public perception and the realities faced by those in conflict zones. His call for awareness and understanding resonates at a time when tensions remain high, and the human cost of conflict is ever apparent.
“We need to bridge the gap between perception and reality,” Folman urges. “Only then can we hope to find a path toward lasting peace.”
