Miami Beach's mayor, Steven Meiner, is proposing to terminate a lease with O Cinema and cut funding after the independent theater screened the Oscar-winning documentary 'No Other Land'. Meiner criticized the film as 'a false one-sided propaganda attack on the Jewish people'. The mayor had previously urged the cinema to cancel screenings due to backlash from critics, including Israeli officials. He has now introduced legislation to fulfill a commitment to cut funding amidst ongoing tensions surrounding the film's themes of Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Meiner described the film as a 'false one-sided propaganda attack on the Jewish people' and mentioned its inconsistency with 'the values of our City and residents.'
In his communication, he encouraged O Cinema to cancel the screenings, citing critiques from both Israeli and German officials, entrenching his stance on the matter.
