Fighting anti-semitism is too important to fight with the wrong people. This film shows a harsh reality. It sides with Palestinians whose homes are being demolished. You can argue over the politics of it. But “anti-Semitic tendencies”? The accusation is plain wrong.

Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians. I feel unsafe and unwelcome in Berlin of 2024 as a left-wing Israeli and will take legal action.
