" [Miami Beach mayor Steven Meiner has proposed to cancel the lease of a cinema that screened the award-winning, pro-Palestinian documentary No Other Land. The O Cinema, a nonprofit theater that shows art and foreign films, operates out of a city-owned building in the South Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach. Meiner's move is a flagrant assault on free speech and constitutional rights. "]
[On March 5, in response to the news that the O Cinema was planning to present No Other Land, Meiner wrote the movie theater management. In the letter, cited by Deadline, Meiner claimed, among other things, that the "film director's comments at the Oscars prove the antisemitic nature of the film using Jew-hatred propaganda and lies such as 'ethnic cleansing.'" This is a slanderous reference to comments, which received boisterous applause, made by one of No Other Land's co-directors, Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham, at the March 2 awards ceremony.]
[ " The film became the first work in history to win in the Best Documentary Feature Film at the Academy Awards without a distribution company attached to it in the US. The American political and entertainment establishment have made it their business to suppress No Other Land, for fear of its impact on public opinion. " ]
