DIRECTOR'S CUT.

Palestinian filmmaker Mohammad Bakri is facing censorship and legal consequences for his new film "Janin Jenin," which challenges the Israeli narrative and gives voice to Palestinian survivors. Bakri's previous documentary, "Jenin, Jenin," was banned and he faced defamation lawsuits, death threats, and a grenade attack on his home. The article discusses the increasing crackdown on free speech and dissent in Israel, particularly targeting Palestinian citizens and those who oppose Israel's offensive in Gaza. The impact of this suppression extends beyond Israel's borders, with a Palestinian citizen of Israel being granted asylum in the UK after claiming that Israel maintains an apartheid system.
