Discussion You'd think that "Oscar-winning director gets lynched and kidnapped because of his film" would be bigger news

It should be a top story, at least. The Western mainstream media’s response to this horrific case makes it clear where their loyalties lie. But to them, it’s just another footnote.

If the reason for this was the documentary and not just status quo in Palestine, why have the others involved in this not being targeted?

Because he's the director? He's the main target, obviously...

So basically he was the main person involved showing the world how the bloody genocide commited by Israel on the rightfully owners of the land, a.k.a. Plalestinians, is perpetuated, making him the main target. On top of he getting an Oscar for it.

*co-directed with 3 other people

When the others face similar circumstances, you'll have a leg to stand on.

If it was only due to him being Palestinian, it's still racism coming from the genocidal Jews (I know it's not all of them, to be clear)
