Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shor, the creators of the controversial documentary "No Other Land" ("Bystander Casualty"), were interviewed on the "Stateside" podcast of the British newspaper The Guardian. In the interview, Shor addressed the protests that took place outside her parents' home after the film's screening, saying: "Of course it's scary, we can't lie and say it's not." She added that she feels bad for dragging her parents into the storm, and that "when it comes to family - of course it hurts." According to her, they received support from a small part of Israeli society that opposes Israel's policies. Abraham shared that the two are currently staying in London and fear they are under Israeli surveillance, and that the government is working to undermine the film's credibility. He emphasized that they cannot return to Israel in the near future due to death threats, but their lives are not in danger. The film, which won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, presents testimonies from 24 IDF officers about systems and procedures aimed at harming civilians in Gaza.
