File under: Hamas

#1 I am surprised WWII did not result in massive copyright claims. Not to mention the crime of photographing military facilities.

Of course, the real reason is "threat of disruption" by the mostly-peaceful festival crowd. Lack of clearance is just a petticoat on the pig.

#5 I'm sorry, if you're going to show images of human suffering and violent death, you're sick. The old internet site ogrish.com was nothing but this. The video I saw of a Chechen murdering a Russian POW is seared into my brain. It's not just NSFW, it's NSFL. Not safe for life.
It's bad enough when it's internet sickos showing them to each other. But doing it at a legitimate film festival?
They are right to find a legal fig leaf to hide behind to stop it.
After WW2 all the intellectual property of the Nazis was declared public domain. And rightfully so, nobody should be able to profit from that. It's sick.
Avrich is Jewish, he should know better that this kind of thing just plays into the worst kind of stereotypes about Jewish filmmakers. White supremacists use this kind of material for online recruitment and radicalization, leading to real-world harm against Jews.

#6 Showing for amusement is evil indeed, Jairong. But as reportage and witness it is necessary.

The answer to “People say It didn’t happen, and anyway they deserved it” is “Look: this is what they themselves boasted of as they were doing all the things we say they did. We are not inventing fantasies, and this evil must be answered.”

After General Eisenhower, I believe it was, swept over the first of the death camps, he force marched the entire nearby community through at gunpointp, forcing them to see what they had refused to acknowledge even as they profited from the business opportunities engendered.

#7 It’s a documentary, not Saving Private Ryan. This is what the genre is for.

#8 Ike also made sure that thousands of American soldiers witnessed the aftermath of the Holocaust. I think he intuited that no one who hadn't seen it would believe it.

#9 Eisenhower made sure people knew about the Final Solution.

The film fucks are fully in bed with the modern day Nazis going for Jew death.

#10 And by the way: Are the organizers saying they're worried about a copyright suit by Hamas? Please, Hamas, subject yourselves to the jurisdiction of a western court.
