“No Other Land”: The Collective Behind the Oscar-Nominated Documentary

And I see this tendency both in the Palestinian side and also in the Israeli side to not assume responsibility for crimes or actions because the other side has committed crimes. And looking at, you know, October 7th, It's almost a year and a half since where, you know, if 38 Israeli children were killed on October 7th, each one of their deaths is a crime.

We have now in Gaza 17,000 children, 10,000 children who are missing. And when you talk with Israelis about this, they have this mirror image of justification where they point to the crime of October 7th and say, well, this justifies everything that we have done since.

You're right. Recently, there was a vote in the Knesset about a statement where the Israeli Knesset said there will never be a Palestinian state. And there are 120 Knesset members, parliament members. The statement passed and only eight parliament members, I think that was the number eight or maybe it was nine, opposed out of 120. Most of the eight were Palestinian Israelis.

There was only one Jewish Israeli parliament member who opposed that. So this is a pressing issue. And it's very terrifying for me because I think that you are right. I mean, there is no... discourse here locally that could lead to a political solution. And we are hungry for hope.

Well, I think this is why the Oscars help, because, you know, when a film is nominated, then suddenly and I see this now in Israeli society, we released the film now online in Israel and Palestine.

Because for me, I feel this is my main responsibility as an Israeli, is to work with the Israeli society and to try to... I'm going to have a bunch of interviews on mainstream Israeli media and to try to show people the way in which I see the world and to try to convince them to come closer.
