EndemicEarthling<p>Melbourne cinema cancels screening of Oscar-winning doco after receiving threats.</p><p>The documentary, <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/NoOtherLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoOtherLand</span></a> is the joint work of <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Palestinian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestinian</span></a> and <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Israeli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israeli</span></a> filmmakers, and examines the ongoing violent illegal theft of Palestinian land in the <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/WestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WestBank</span></a> by Israeli settlers.<br> <br>The screening was organised by Jewish Council of Australia.
