The axis of the past unfolds the course of the war through diaries and letters written in real time - an ensemble of voices, Jews and Arabs , builds a human story about the dramatic war and allows a glimpse into the construction of war consciousness and its memory on all sides. The voices are accompanied by rare archival films taken during the war, many of which are revealed for the first time.

In the film, among other things, IDF soldiers are accused of dozens of massacres, war crimes, the rape of Palestinian women, and the massacre of prisoners under orders from the command that were carried out as part of the "Nakba" of the Palestinian people
"In the present vintage, characters are documented who struggle for the memory of the war - researchers, archivists, members of the military unit who search for the missing from the battles. Some are charged with preserving the ethos, others with breaking it. Each of them believes that the way in which the memory of the founding war is enacted has a critical meaning for the present and even for the future of our lives Here".
In practice, in the film, among others, IDF soldiers and Palmach fighters are accused of dozens of massacres, war crimes, rape of Palestinian women, and massacre of prisoners under orders from the command that were carried out as part of the "Nakba" of the Palestinian people.
In addition, according to the filmmakers, the State of Israel is hiding this truth.
The Nakba became a founding ethos in the Palestinian people for the departure and flight of approximately 700,000 Palestinian Arabs during the State of Israel's War of Independence and their becoming refugees.
Most of them moved to the various Arab and Islamic countries, or to the Judea and Samaria region and the Gaza Strip, which remained at the end of the war in the hands of Jordan and Egypt respectively.

The broadcasting corporation, which is behind the production of the film, decided as mentioned to postpone its broadcast, but the film is broadcast in Berlin and last night (Monday) was also screened at a public event on behalf of the Van Leer Institute.
After the screening, there was a discussion about the film, which the CEO of the right-wing organization "Betzalmo" Shamai Glick tried to blow up.
It is Glick who is behind quite a lot of pressure, trolls and letters, mostly from the right, towards the broadcasting corporation and the media in general. In this case, Glick claims that the pressure he exerted He is the one who brought about the postponement of the film's broadcast, and that his goal now is its complete destruction.

According to him, "The publication of the film now will seriously harm the State of Israel. Precisely in these days when we are facing real war crimes, real genocide, rape in a deliberate and brutal systematic way to kill women and men, including these days in Gaza, the screening of the film is illusory and not perceived at all. These days, dozens of the Golani Brigade have fallen in the defense About the homeland... The decision to allow the screening of the film at a public event at the Van Leer Institute is a disgrace... I call on you to internalize this and shelve the film to the worlds. In addition, I immediately demand that the silence at the end of the film mentioned here disappears."
The corporation confirmed that the broadcast of the video was postponed and chose not to comment on the details.
