"The reason given: Israel is portrayed in a “one-sided negative” way, Palestinian terrorism and the attacks of its neighboring states are not mentioned, and furthermore, if the definition of anti-Semitism of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance is taken as a basis, an “open anti-Semitism” can be identified: in the historical film material, Israel is accused of a “fascist” character and a “genocide” against the Palestinians, and this is an equation with Nazi Germany, i.e., anti-Semitism. Danger ahead—there was a danger of inciting the audience, also because the “historical propaganda material” was not critically framed, but “affirmed as a supposedly objective factual report.” And this “danger” justifies, one must conclude, a massive encroachment on artistic freedom, to which limits must be set when incitement, anti-Semitism, or racism are involved."
