This movie was a joint palestinian-israeli undertaking, a subtlety lost on this shameless politcian
Predictably, zionist harlots have/are doing their best to stop the truth from getting out there.
"..The mayor of Miami Beach is attempting to evict an independent cinema from city-owned property after it screened No Other Land, the film about Palestinian displacement in the West Bank that just won the Oscar for best documentary.
Steven Meiner’s proposal would terminate O Cinema’s lease and withdraw $40,000 in promised grant funding. In a newsletter sent to residents on Tuesday, Meiner condemned the film as “a false one-sided propaganda attack on the Jewish people that is not consistent with the values of our City and residents”.
Meiner had previously urged the O Cinema to cancel scheduled screenings of the documentary, citing criticism from Israeli and German officials. According to the mayor’s newsletter, O Cinema’s CEO, Vivian Marthell, allegedly agreed to withdraw the film from programming, citing “concerns of antisemitic rhetoric”, but Meiner claimed she reversed her decision the following day. The screenings sold out and the cinema added additional dates in March.
“Our decision to screen NO OTHER LAND is not a declaration of political alignment. It is, however, a bold reaffirmation of our fundamental belief that every voice deserves to be heard,” Marthell told the Miami Herald.
The documentary, which won the Academy Award for best documentary feature last week, follows the destruction of Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank and chronicles the unlikely friendship between a Palestinian activist, Basel Adra, and an Israeli journalist, Yuval Abraham, who co-directed the film.
Abraham responded to the Guardian’s reporting on Meiner’s efforts on Thursday, writing: “Banning a film only makes people more determined to see it.”
“Once you witness Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Masafer Yatta it becomes impossible to justify it, and that’s why the mayor is so afraid of our film,” Abraham said in a post on social media.

imdb review :
Despite being the most awarded and critically-acclaimed documentary film of 2024, nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and picked up for distribution in 24 countries, 'No Other Land' could not find a U.S. distributor due to its subject matter. However, the film had a limited theatrical release in the U.S. on January 31, 2025 through Cinetic Media, which facilitated bookings via Michael Tuckman Media. Tickets can be purchased on the film's official website.
The film hits you like a punch in the stomach. A lot of the footage is filmed by small handheld cameras or smartphones, which gives it a genuine authenticity. Another strength of the film is that it not only documents the demolishing of the buildings, but also the friendship between the Palestine activist Basel and the Israeli journalist Yuval, who wants to raise public awareness about the injustice. Although friendship is perhaps not the right word. They are colleagues and brothers-in-arms, but the difference between them is always palpable. "You have to learn to lose", Basel tells Yuval when the journalist notices that there is not much interest in his stories. "We have been fighting for decades, you can't change the situation in a few days".
