Oscar Wins, But Apparently Not Immunity From Gunfire
Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where winning an Oscar turns you into a superhero? Awdah Al Hathaleen, who worked on the Oscar-winning film 'No Other Land' about settler violence, was shot during a clash in his West Bank village. As if celebrating an Oscar wasnât enough, his community hoped the film might 'help protect them.' So let me get this straight: a documentary was supposed to act like a shield? Thatâs like bringing a trophy to a gunfight, hoping applause will stop bullets.

Nothing says 'protection' like an Oscar-winning film. Next up: using popcorn buckets as Kevlar vests. @HollywoodVsReality
Hey 'No Other Land,' thanks for the Oscar! Just a heads up though, in this West Bank clash, the bullets donât care about your shiny statue.
Film as armor? Next weâll be wearing movie scripts as bulletproof vests. Hollywoodâs solution to settler violence is basically an arts and crafts project.
