The IDF confirmed the arrest of Hamdan Bilal, the director of the anti-Israel film “No Other Land,” on suspicion of assaulting Israeli soldiers by hurling stones during a violent riot in the Masafer Yatta area. His arrest exposes the true nature of individuals who masquerade as “peaceful activists” while actively engaging in aggression against Israel.
Bilal’s involvement in violent activity confirms what many already suspected: “No Other Land” is not a documentary, but a deliberate piece of propaganda designed to delegitimize Israel and promote the Palestinian narrative of erasing the Jewish state.
A Film That Demonizes Israel and Whitewashes Terror
“No Other Land” falsely presents the Jewish homeland of Judea and Samaria—central to Jewish history and identity—as “occupied Palestinian land.” It pushes a distorted narrative, painting Israel’s legitimate efforts to uphold law and security as “oppression,” while completely ignoring the reality of Palestinian terrorism, incitement, and foreign-backed militias operating in the region.
The film romanticizes the so-called “struggle” of Palestinians against Israel, while glorifying resistance that includes violence, incitement, and lawlessness. Its goal is clear: to delegitimize the Jewish state, demonize the IDF, and rally international support for the BDS movement and the broader campaign to dismantle Israel.
Let it be clear: there is no historical Palestine, and there is no occupation. The areas referred to in the film are part of Judea, the biblical heartland of the Jewish people. The Arabs who claim it as theirs are descendants of Jordanians and other neighboring populations, many of whom arrived during periods of illegal migration.
Israel’s military operations in Judea and Samaria are essential to counter-terrorism, not colonialism. The IDF works daily to protect Jews and Arabs alike from Iranian-funded terror cells embedded across the region.
Antisemitism at the Oscars
The film’s award for Best Documentary at the 2025 Oscars is not just a disgrace—it is a stain of antisemitism on the global film industry. While Israel buries its dead from October 7 and fights for its survival against Iranian terror proxies, Hollywood chose to honor a film that portrays Jewish self-defense as war crimes and terror collaborators as victims. That a film rooted in lies and incitement was applauded by the world’s most powerful cultural elite is not merely political bias—it is complicity in the dehumanization of the Jewish people.
“Giving this film an Oscar while Israeli hostages remain in Hamas tunnels is not just tone-deaf—it’s morally bankrupt,” said an Israeli filmmaker.
Violence Masquerading as Art
Hamdan Bilal is not a filmmaker seeking peace—he is a political activist actively participating in violence against Israeli forces, while building a media platform to attack Israel’s legitimacy abroad.
His arrest is not a suppression of art. It is a defense of truth, of law, and of Israel’s sovereign right to protect its soldiers and civilians from incitement and assault.
