I think allies of Israel's actions have done an amazing job of making their presence felt and making sure that any sort of overstatement, woolly phraseology gets policed, right?
I feel there's this aspect of that that's healthy, would that it were the case on all sides.
But similarly, we have to interrogate that we're doing the same level of care to represent the Palestinian reality.
Truthfully, I got critiqued from both in terms of some people who watched it who were sort of sympathetic to the Israeli kind of way of looking at things.
We're like, oh, well, it's one-sided.
You haven't really...
shown how these people are just crazy.
No one takes them seriously, which, by the way, is not the case.
Daniela Weiss enjoys enormous influence.
But similarly, on the other side, some people are like, well, it's 15 or 20 minutes before you meet a Palestinian person, right?
And it's a farmer speaking in Arabic.
And then I quickly move on to talk to an Israeli peace activist.
And across the board, I'm giving, you could argue, a megaphone
to the settlers.
And so I think some people felt, well, you've sort of erased the Palestinian place.
Yeah, there was a guy who I met in a village who was like, you didn't really discuss how we've already been displaced.
He told me a story on camera about how he'd ended up in this village in the West Bank near Hebron.
But prior to that, he'd been in what's now Israel and displaced from that, I believe.
And so there's a sort of ongoing compounding of refugee status.
And he was understandably upset.
