When skepticism about the savagery of attacks by Hamas terrorists against Jews in Israel first surfaced, the Israel Defense Forces put together 45 minutes of gruesome imagery — most of it shot by the perpetrators — of murder, beheadings, rapes, and other atrocities against Jewish adults and children. Initially shown to world leaders, ambassadors and journalists covering the attack and the ensuing response by Israel military forces, that footage will be shown this week in screenings organized in Hollywood and New York.
Several in Hollywood who are Jewish spoke with me to see if I’d been among were torn over whether they needed to subject themselves to footage which will be presented without narration, and the only sounds being from terrorists committing the atrocities, and the victims who believed something like this could never happen again. Right now, there is only the screenings this week — Deadline agreed to not divulge the day or location for security reasons but it won’t be difficult to find a ticket for those who need one — but I would not be surprised if more screenings follow. The film is being called “Bearing Witness,” a phrase commonly used about the Holocaust. The screening organizers, who worked with the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee to put this together, hope that it puts to rest the skepticism about the events of October 7 that left 1400 dead and 240 taken hostage. And to remind that the attack is the reason for the ground war that is currently being waged in Gaza, creating death and suffering in its aftermath.

Hasan Minhaj is speaking out.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Just over a month after The New Yorker published a story in which it was revealed that Hasan Minhaj embellished some of his stand-up routines, the comedian has responded in a 20-minute video in which he calls the The New Yorker’s exposé “needlessly misleading.” “With everything that’s happening in the world, I’m aware even talking about this now feels so trivial,” Minhaj says in the video. “But being accused of ‘faking racism’ is not trivial. It’s very serious, and it demands an explanation…To everyone who read that article, I want to answer the biggest question that’s probably on your mind: Is Hasan Minhaj secretly a psycho? Underneath all that pomp, is Hasan Minhaj just a con artist who uses fake racism and Islamophobia to advance his career? Because after reading that article, I would also think that.” “I just want to say to anyone who felt betrayed or hurt by my stand-up, I am sorry,” he continues.
