Israeli-Palestinian film on West Bank occupation branded ‘antisemitic’ by Berlin city portal (Middle East Eye, 2024-11-13)
“Berlin’s official online portal has faced backlash for claiming the Israeli-Palestinian film No Other Land about Israel’s takeover in the occupied West Bank contained ‘antisemitic tendencies’.”
“In a post on X (formerly Twitter), [one of the directors Yuval] Abraham said he felt ‘unsafe and unwelcome in Berlin’ because of the designation.”
“The Berlin portal’s commentary was criticised in a number of quarters, including by German ambassador to Israel, Steffen Seibert.” 👀
“The text on the site was later changed, along with an admission that the original description had been ‘incorrect and inadmissible’.”
🤔 They could have just erased the first expression and remained silent. A glimpse of conscience?
