Israeli documentary film, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday, revealed that Israeli military commanders ordered their soldiers to kill the largest possible number of Arabs during 1967 six-day war, the New York Times reported.
"Censored Voices" is the latest in a series of movies by leftist Israeli filmmakers who have won awards abroad by presenting harsh looks at their own society.
Based on interviews that the military heavily edited at the time, it includes accounts of Israelis summarily executing prisoners and evacuating Arab villages in a manner that one fighter likened to the Nazis' treatment of European Jews.
The wrenching, taped testimony is not from last summer's bloody battle in the Gaza Strip but from the 1967 war, when Israel started out fighting Egypt, Jordan and Syria for its very survival and ended up seizing the West Bank, Gaza, the Sinai Peninsula and parts of the Golan Heights.
