When they told us about the Holocaust, they said, they will never burn Jews again. Guess what? It happened again. And the world does not believe us. That is like going full circle to 1939-1945. It’s insanity. So it’s not just about a terror attack. This is a holocaust. And that’s why for me, as a third generation Holocaust survivors, as a filmmaker who live in the States as an American, that’s my duty to bring it to the world.
literally calling himself a holocaust survivor because of one attack on the opposite side of the world from where he lives. absolutely grotesque
“When I am writing an email to a filmmaker, I’m writing as a filmmaker, somebody who’s bringing the truth to the world,” he continued. “That is my goal here. To show what started everything. The atrocities, the mini-Holocaust that happened there, that we as a nation, we as the world cannot stand still and silent and just move on. Now, it doesn’t mean that I’m not pro-Palestinian. I am pro-two state solution. I have Palestinian friends. I am a left wing filmmaker, but this is not a left or right wing thing. This is just something that the whole world should see it. So that’s my mission.”
Israeli “left wing filmmaker”, whose politically-enlightened “left wing” but still centrist analysis of the Palestinian situation is that “Hamas started all the violence when they attacked on October 7th”.
Lol the idea that filmmakers inherently ‘bring the truth to the world’ is some absolute on-brand ideology. Sure buddy, Birth of a Nation brought ‘truth to the world’.
Anybody with even an iota of communications knowledge (and even that is usually suspect in it’s theoretical content) knows that, if the truth exists in the world, at best a film can mediate that truth (hence why it is call media), it cannot ‘bring the truth’ anywhere.
Imagine comparing the death of 1400 settlers (Israel’s figures, there are reasons to believe they aren’t accurate - even haaretz said it stfu) to 6 fucking million of an industrial and targeted elimination of people who just happened to be Jewish (and weren’t eliminated because they were an occupying army)
Absolutely demented. This guy has absolutely lost it.
actual quote from the “filmmaker” (emphasis mine)

Ayyy, marone! As a 60th generation survivor of the sack of Rome, this is very disrespectful!
unfortunately there aren’t any vandal descendants left to dunk on modern romans about that
jesus fucking christ
I believe they have friends who currently live in Palestine

Holy shit they are just straight up saying that “History started on october 7th” unironically now.
The big brain play would be to bait and switch and just show a bunch of Nakba-footage
It’s become abundantly clear that the only reason many think the Holocaust was bad was that it was done on Jews.
