We need more and more shows with casual Judaism and Israelis. Let them "antizionists" have nothing.
We really do. And Israeli entertainment has to make less ultra depressing shows that just consist of "ultra depressing gritty story of creator self-insert badass womanising idf man kills terrorists family by mistake, now his everyone he loves is killed, cue endless violence and sadness" and more idk... casual fun shit or something
Missioni sotto copertura, attentati, rapimenti, uccisioni. La serie tvFauda, uscita nel 2015, racconta il decennale conflitto che insanguina israeliani e palestinesi. In arabo la parola “fauda” significa “caos”, e lo show Netflix (visibile anche su Sky Glass, Sky Q e tramite app su NOW Smart Stick) ritrae non solo le tensioni e le violenze degli scontri, ma anche i conflitti interiori e i…
This was famous Israeli singer, Idan Amedi, after being partially patched up after being badly injured in the war in Gaza. Before this he was unrecognizable, they didn't know who he was by his face alone.
He said he refused to let his children see him until he was fully looking how he used to look before.
Our hearts and thoughts are with Israeli singer and “Fauda” actor Idan Amedi, who was seriously injured today while fighting in the counterterrorism operation against Hamas in Gaza. He was one of the first well-known Israelis to enlist into the IDF since October 7th.
If you have a Netflix account, you have most likely heard about the hit TV show “Fauda.”
What you may not know is that the show’s cocreator and lead star, Lior Raz, is not only a skilled actor and screenwriter.
Raz is a man of many talents. He’s been through so many different experiences in his life, it’s enough to write an enthralling script about.
Here is ISRAEL21c’s list of 14 things you probably didn’t know about Lior Raz.
1. Arab roots
In “Fauda,” Raz’s character, Doron, often dialogues in Arabic as an undercover operative.
Raz didn’t have to learn the language specifically for the role. In fact, he grew up speaking Arabic at home. Both his parents are Mizrachi (Eastern/African) Jews. His mother immigrated to Israel from Algeria, while his father made aliyah from Iraq.
2. Tragic love
In 1990, when Raz was 19, his girlfriend of three years, Iris Azulay, was stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist in Jerusalem. The murderer was released in 2011 as part of a prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas that saw soldier Gilat Shalit released from a five-year captivity in Gaza.
3. Military service
That personal tragedy may have played a part in Raz becoming a commando in the elite undercover counter-terrorism unit, Sayeret Duvdevan, during his IDF service.
His experiences in the undercover unit would eventually inspire Raz to create “Fauda,” which tells the story of Mista’arvim forces, which encompass all elite undercover units, including Duvdevan.
