"Controversy Erupts at Berlin Film Festival Over Criticism of Israel"
Israeli filmmaker Yuval Abraham, co-director of "No Other Land," criticized German politicians and Israeli media for labeling his Berlin Film Festival award acceptance speech as "antisemitic" after he called for equality between Israelis and Palestinians and a ceasefire. Abraham received death threats and had to cancel his flight back to Israel as a result. The documentary, which won the best documentary prize at the festival, focuses on the Israeli government's attempts to expel Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Abraham's post on social media condemned the misuse of the term "antisemitism" and highlighted the danger faced by his Palestinian co-director living under military occupation.
