The story, neutrally told

RightOn Thursday evening, 1 October 2026, a confrontation broke out during a screening of the film NAZA in the Dutch city of Delft. RightSabine Taasa, the wife and mother of two Israelis killed by Hamas on 7 October, confronted the film's directors, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. RightShe said: "You're talking about collateral damage? My husband and my son were murdered by Hamas. Where does this appear in your film?"

RightTaasa's husband, Gil, and a 17-year-old son, Or, were killed on 7 October; the Jerusalem Post says other children of hers were wounded. Both outlets report that her husband was killed shielding their sons from a grenade, citing Geert Wilders in the Jerusalem Post's case. RightShe travelled to the Netherlands with the Israeli organisation Ad Kan, which shared footage of the incident online; the Daily Mail describes Ad Kan as founded by former IDF officers and intelligence soldiers to fight anti-Israeli organisations. RightIn the footage, audience members shout "We don't care," "Shame on you" and "We don't want to hear." The Daily Mail adds that she was booed and led out by security, and that the crowd clapped as chants of "go away" were directed at her.

RightThe Daily Mail also reports that someone in the audience said it was "too bad the Germans didn't finish you off". Its source is a post on X by Oded Nir, an Israeli musician in the Netherlands who says he helped plan the protest; the Jerusalem Post does not report this remark. RightAd Kan CEO Avichai Shorshan, who accompanied Taasa, tried to show footage of the 7 October attack on the cinema screen with a portable projector. Ad Kan says audience members tried to stop this and a confrontation followed. RightThe Daily Mail describes NAZA as an award-winning documentary with about two dozen interviews with Israeli military and intelligence sources on IDF tactics and civilian deaths. The Jerusalem Post says the film has drawn criticism in Israel over its portrayal of the war and its limited attention to 7 October and Hamas's actions.

RightDutch Party for Freedom leader Geert Wilders condemned the audience, saying "The callousness is staggering" and "The truth means nothing to the Left". He later said he had hosted Taasa in the Dutch Parliament. RightShorshan called the film "false" and said it caused inconceivable collateral damage to Israel. He also said Ad Kan "will not accept the spread of antisemitism in Europe". The directors' response is not given in either report.

Framing
Both outlets present Taasa as a bereaved survivor shouted down by an indifferent audience, with Ad Kan's footage and statements as the main source. The Jerusalem Post leads with her question to the directors and adds Wilders's reaction. The Daily Mail leads with her being booed off stage and the reported antisemitic remark.
Emphasis
Taasa's loss, the audience's 'we don't care' response, Ad Kan's role and statements, and (in the Jerusalem Post) Wilders's condemnation.
Leaves out or plays down
Neither outlet reports a response from the directors, the venue or organisers, or independent confirmation of the reported remark about the Germans. The Jerusalem Post says little about the film's content, and the Daily Mail gives little on the film's own account of its omissions.
Charged language
“anti-IDF film premiere”“brainwashing”“false film”“The callousness is staggering”“heroic bereaved mother”
For example
“An October 7 survivor was booed off stage during a protest at an anti-IDF film premiere” — Daily Mail
““This brainwashing can be corrected only through a swift effort to expose the false witnesses and confront them with the truth.”” — The Jerusalem Post
