ITV’s 'Breaking Ranks': The IDF Soldier Documentary That Broke From the Truth | HonestReporting

Key takeaways: A new ITV documentary interviews a handful of IDF soldiers, who allege that Israel violated international law in its conduct

by Sharon Levy

Key takeaways:

A new ITV documentary interviews a handful of IDF soldiers, who allege that Israel violated international law in its conduct of the war against Hamas.

The documentary parrots already disproven claims about casualty numbers and famine in the Gaza Strip.

The filmmakers distort the reality of the war by presenting the IDF as fighting a war against civilians, rather than a war against a terrorist group that has embedded itself in civilian infrastructure.

A new documentary airing on ITV, Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War, claims to be “the story of the war in Gaza told by the soldiers who fought it.” An insider account of war sounds promising, especially amid the flood of misinformation online from people who were never on the ground as IDF soldiers and have no experience of the reality of fighting a terrorist organization.

Yet, of all the thousands of soldiers, both in mandatory service and reserve duty, the documentary presents a carefully selected handful of soldiers to tell the story of what they believe really happened in Gaza.

But the story they tell distorts – if not entirely omits – key facts. The film overlooks the reality of what it means to fight a terrorist organization driven by an ideology of extermination, one that deliberately embeds itself among civilians to wage war from within their communities.

That didn’t stop other media from jumping on allegations of war crimes, with outlets such as The Guardian and Independent publishing pieces based on the documentary’s conclusions. That the Tehran Times gleefully pounced on it as well tells a story in itself.

Whats interesting to me in the Rebels episode 'Breaking Ranks' is two things in particular.

First, Ezra was stated to have been in the academy for WEEKS, living and training in the same building Kallus was working in. The way the cadets handed out datapads on the same floor as Kallus' office and to Kallus himself implies that he and Ezra probably crossed paths regularly and Kallus had NO IDEA.

It means Ezra also got to see how intensely workaholic Kallus is. 😅

Second, the decoder that he was trying to steal contained the location of a massive Kyber crystal.

This is one of the crystals intended to be used for the Death Star. Which was the project of Orson Krennic, funding rival of Thrawn, whom Kallus was not yet working under.

Kallus probably had not been told WHAT the crystal was for, but knew it was top secret (which is why he was trusted with the information).

There is so much fanfiction 'What if?' potential here!

What if Kallus had defected early and gave the code willingly? Would that have set back the Death Star plans and therefore the entire original trilogy timeline?

What if Kallus found out the significance of the stolen information after the war and has a massive whump moment over it? ("I had that information in MY HANDS. The LIVES I could have saved if I had acted on it...")

What if after it was stolen and while still an Imperial Kallus found out Saw Gerrera was ALSO after the information?

That particular crystal gets blown up pretty quickly, but I feel Kallus would have been able to help track down the other ones, if only he had known

Anyway, just my random analysis! 😁
