Hatizmuret - Documentry by Ofer Pinchasov 2023
The film brings for the first time the story of the radio station "Beit Shidor Israel", which became the Voice of Israel in Arabic. With the establishment of the state and the immigration of Jews from Arab countries, the radio station was an activity for intelligence and political warfare against Arab countries in the 40s, 50s and 60s.
Ostensibly it was a radio station that broadcast news and songs in Arabic, but in practice the broadcasts were used by the government for propaganda, psychological warfare, changing public opinion in Arab countries and activating agents through codes implanted within the broadcasts. Soon the broadcasts became the most terrifying threat that agitated the rulers of the Arab world. And its broadcasters were called by the competing radio stations the Israel Broadcasting House Propaganda Choir, the Israel Broadcasting Corporation's propaganda orchestra.
