Official screenings of 47 minutes of footage showing graphic atrocities committed during Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel are being held in Los Angeles and New York this week. The footage is being shared by the Israel Defense Forces, the national military of Israel.
Invitees include select members of the press and the film industry. The screening has been labeled, “Bearing Witness to the October 7th Massacre.” One of the screenings being held will be at the Museum of Tolerance this Wednesday, by invitation only.
The footage is known to be violent, including video of murder, beheadings and rapes of Jewish people, according to media reports. Much of it was filmed by Hamas terrorists during their attack on Israel. The American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League are helping to organize the screenings.
Guy Nattiv, who directed the Golda Meir biopic “Golda” released earlier this year, shared a redacted image of the invitation on social media Sunday. He captioned his post, “Because the world needs to know. #neveragainisnow ”
While inviting in some members of the media to see the footage, the Israeli government recently denied a press credential to a reporter for Rolling Stone, saying that the often left-wing magazine is “not a news organization.” The magazine has a deep history of political reporting, going back more than 50 years. It is also a sister publication owned by Penske Media with several Hollywood trades.
