Melbourne cinema cancels screening of Oscar-winning doco after receiving threats.
The documentary, #NoOtherLand is the joint work of #Palestinian and #Israeli filmmakers, and examines the ongoing violent illegal theft of Palestinian land in the #WestBank by Israeli settlers.
The screening was organised by Jewish Council of Australia. Those using threats to shut it down (presumably pro-Israeli far-right supporters of the violence documented in the film) are likely motivated by hatred: of Palestinians and/or Arabs and/or Muslims, but also of the myriad Jewish people who don't support apartheid, land theft and genocide.
Will a single politician from either major party (who have often turned calls for 'social cohesion' into a weapon to attack anti-genocide activism) name the threats against this cinema as both Islamophobic *and* antisemitic?
