actual quote from the "filmmaker" (emphasis mine)

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.”

both-sides 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.
