(haipo) - A number of pro-Palestinian activists tried to produce a screening of the film 'Janin Janin', which describes the hardships of the producer Muhammad Bachari, when he tried to screen in Israel the film Janin Janin (of almost the same name), which was banned for screening in Israel , due to the fact that he incites against IDF soldiers.
The screening of the movie Janin Janin was planned for Monday evening, 26/8/24, at the Congress Club in Haifa. Shai Glick, CEO of Betzelmo, urgently contacted the Israel Police, who summoned the producers of the event for a hearing. In the end, the police announced that they were closing the venue for the time the film was scheduled to be screened.
The reason why the movie "Janin Janin" was banned for screening in Israel
The film "Jenin Jenin", created by director Muhammad Bakri in 2002, was banned from screening in Israel due to the claims that it presents in a one-sided and inaccurate manner the events of the battle in Jenin that took place during the IDF's "Protective Wall" operation in April 2002.
The film shows interviews with the residents of the Jenin refugee camp, and they describe the actions of the Israeli soldiers during the operation as acts of massacre and murder. The IDF and the Israeli government claimed that the film presents a distorted picture of reality and that it is a propaganda tool that spreads lies about the IDF and the State of Israel.
Because of this, in 2003, the Council for Criticism of Films and Plays in Israel decided to ban the screening of the film on the grounds that it misleads the public and harms the good name of the State of Israel. In 2021, Israel's Supreme Court made a decision to reject Bakri's appeal, leaving the ban in effect. Also, the director was ordered to pay damages to one of the soldiers who sued him for libel, after he claimed that he was shown in the film as part of the acts attributed to the IDF without any basis.
Shai Glick, CEO of Betzelmo, told Lahi Pa:
I congratulate the sane forces in the city of Haifa and Mayor Yona Yahav for canceling the event.
Haifa proved once again that it is a Zionist city that is proud of the IDF soldiers and the citizens of Israel.
I call on the mayor to make it clear to the council members that those who organize inciting events will be kicked out of the coalition
The police told Lai Pa:
The Haifa Police in the Coastal District summoned for questioning with a warning the applicant to screen the movie Janin Janin contrary to the court's decision and today closed the place with a closure order.
Following her investigation with a police warning for 'violation of a legal order' of the applicant to screen the movie Janin Janin in Haifa, contrary to the court's decision that it was forbidden to screen it, the police summoned the applicant again today for a hearing and issued a closing order to the place for the duration of the screening hours in the evening.
"The police will not allow the flagrant violation of the law and will act to enforce it wherever they detect the commission of a crime or a fear of violating public order and public peace."
Strong and courageous! expel the instigators! Enough with the Palestinian hypocrisy!
A people who is unable to deal with its past will find it difficult to exist in the future, you exaggerated with this film, a man entered Jenin with a camera after the IDF was there, what did you think you would see? Just like the three monkeys we became
Thanks to Shay Glick, CEO of the 'Betzalmo' organization,
on the defense,
By opposing the screening of the false film, defaming the IDF with lies.
From what I remember, the film includes interviews with people who slander the IDF soldiers, and the slanders involve gross lies. But the editors of the film do not take a stand, so perhaps it was not appropriate to disqualify the film.
For comparison, let's say someone were to show a documentary that includes interviews with well-known anti-Semites, for example, from the World War II era. Should the film have been banned? Maybe, not sure.
I don't remember details.
But if the film contains defamations based on lies, this is a reason to censor it
The purpose of the film is one - to slander using lies in the name of the washed-up 'freedom of expression'.
Good thing they didn't allow the screening of the state haters in our neighborhood
It's good that no one dares to make a film that shows the Israeli police in a negative way against the protest, because that is going to be the next step.
If it was a right-wing film, the Shin Bet would have already hospitalized them.
very good A fifth brother-in-law who shamelessly publishes lies and recruits aid to the enemy during war has no place in Israel.
There is no place for Hadash in the municipality
This is a religious war....Israel must control Arab education! Teach liberalism and the separation of religion from the state! According to Or and former rabbi Yaron Yedan
Kudos to Shay Glick and the Israel Police who prevented the screening of the film
and canceling the event and summoning the producers of the event for investigation
It is not possible to organize inciting events in Haifa who are passing through
On the law, you are invited to leave the coalition
Respect and respect for the Jewish public. Now we are going through a war and shocks in the south. There are long seasons. Now the film is under no circumstances. Maybe someone will issue a petition against the film. Under no circumstances did he talk about the film, not in Israel.
