“Over the past year and a half, I’ve traveled to Palestine and Israel four times, met with the filmmakers of No Other Land, and moderated panels on the film in Jerusalem and Berlin – some alongside its protagonists. More often than not, these discussions were overshadowed by the political firestorm the film ignited in Germany. The message from major officials to the filmmakers was unmistakable: Your perspectives are not welcome here.”

“while No Other Land’s Oscar win was unexpected, its rejection by the U.S. film industry was just as telling. Despite glowing reviews, no American distributor picked it up. Beyond select screenings, the film remains largely inaccessible to U.S. audiences.”

“Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner is taking issue with the documentary, demanding late last week that it not be shown in the theater, which leases its space from the city.”

“In a resolution put forth by the mayor, the city states its ‘desire to identify a new tenant/grantee to operate the movie theater located on the Premises that more accurately reflects the City’s values.’”

“Meiner plans to host a virtual town hall next Tuesday to discuss the matter. He hopes to put the resolution up for a vote on Wednesday.”

------

"The Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM) has opened a new investigation into nine Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters for violence they committed in Amsterdam during a match against Ajax [Nov. 7, 2024]. These Israeli hooligans have not yet been identified but are suspected of assaults and vandalism, AT5 reported.

"During a court session today, the prosecutor confirmed the investigation.“

"Dutch police began reviewing footage of the violence days after the incident on November 7. Videos circulating online showed Israeli fans chanting racist and Islamophobic slogans and carrying iron pipes, sticks, and belts."

"... Critics questioned why authorities and media initially overlooked the role of Israeli supporters."

'No Other Land' Oscars Speech Calls for Stop of 'Ethnic Cleansing' in Gaza (Variety, 2025-03-02)

“Despite the film’s critical acclaim and Oscar win, it still remains without a U.S. distributor. In January, Abraham told Variety that he took the lack of distribution ‘as something that’s completely political. We’re obviously talking about the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank, and it’s very ugly…The conversation in the United States appears to be far less nuanced — there is much less space for this kind of criticism, even when it comes in the form of a film.’

“‘No Other Land’ had a limited theatrical run in New York City starting Jan. 31 and Los Angeles starting Feb. 7.”

“Israel said Sunday it is stopping the entry of all goods and supplies into the Gaza Strip and warned of ‘additional consequences’ if Hamas does not accept a new proposal for an extension of the ceasefire.

“Hamas accused Israel of trying to derail the fragile truce and said its decision to cut off aid was ‘cheap extortion, a war crime and a blatant attack on the (ceasefire) agreement.’”
