Directors revise statement after PACBI boycott criticism

The directors of the documentary "No Other Land" revised their statement after criticism from the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). The group accused the film of not clearly naming Israel as responsible for ethnic cleansing and apartheid. The updated statement emphasizes the filmmakers' desire to address the ongoing issues faced by the Masafer Yatta community. They describe the film as evidence of current war crimes and a call for justice and equality. PACBI criticized the film for collaborating with Israeli talent and claimed it normalizes Israeli oppression. The film has faced backlash from Israeli officials, while the Council on American-Islamic Relations urged U.S. distributors to make it available to American audiences.
