“We mourn every innocent life lost in this war, Israeli or Palestinian. But compassion for Palestinian civilians does not require us to erase October 7, ignore Hamas or accept one narrative without questioning it,” said Noa Peri-Jensch, chief communities officer of the Israeli-American Council (IAC). “This is why we are here today: not to prevent anyone from speaking, but to make sure that our voices, our experiences and the truth are being heard as well.”
“NAZA,” which was shot at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv and shows “in detail the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza,” recently won a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival. The documentary is now set to release in more than 50 territories before becoming available to stream for free on The Guardian’s website.
Hundreds of pro-Palestine protestors gathered outside the United Nations building, resulting in roughly 100 arrests, including Hannah Einbinder and Susan Sarandon.
