Israeli Filmmaker Forced into Hiding After Threats for Supporting Palestinians

It became too much when they published David’s name, address, phone number and photograph along with the words: “The next one to get it.” He left his home and borrowed a house from a friend. “I deleted all my social-media accounts,” he told me. “I don’t answer my phone to any number I don’t know.” David is a film-maker living in Tel Aviv, who describes himself as “ultra-progressive, left-wing, anti-Zionist, pro-peace”.

On October 8th, the second day of the war, Asmaa sent him a short video of a school where families had been displaced after the bombing had destroyed their homes. The next day she wrote: “Israel demolished all the mosques and many houses, and hundreds were martyred.” David replied that he was saddened and was praying for her family. Hamas, too, has for a long time tried to sever bonds between Gazans and Israelis.
