The screening of a documentary titled 'Evidence of the October 7 Massacre' about Hamas's 'terrorist attack' on Israel was accompanied by various controversies in Los Angeles, attended by several Hollywood and entertainment industry figures. According to 'Variety', this controversial work contains horrific images of the crimes committed by Hamas militants in Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,400 people. During their surprise attack on southern Israel on October 7, the militants also took about 240 people hostage. The Israeli army produced this 47-minute film using hundreds of hours of footage taken by Hamas militants' cameras and mobile phones while committing crimes against victims. Gal Gadot, an actress, and Guy Nattiv, a director, were among the prominent Israeli artists who assisted in organizing the event at the 'Tzahal' Museum in Los Angeles, along with Sara Greenberg and Melissa Zuckerman. While the organizers attempted to keep the screening on Wednesday, November 8, under wraps, some local publications and social media users spread the news. Reports indicated that Gal Gadot was supposed to host the event, but she did not attend. Despite strict security measures at the Tzahal Museum, clashes broke out between some Israeli and Palestinian supporters outside the venue, but police dispersed them. No injuries or arrests occurred during these clashes. This incident prompted a response from Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, who condemned the 'unacceptable violence' in a social media message and called for 'maintaining solidarity in the city.' According to 'Times of Israel', Gilad Erdan, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, also attended the event and spoke to the audience. He emphasized the importance of screening this film, stating that 'watching it will change your perspective on the Middle East and the Gaza war.' The documentary 'Evidence of the October 7 Massacre' is also set to be screened in New York City.
