Israeli court finds that “Jenin, Jenin” was slanderous, but the soldiers can’t collect damages, leaving filmmaker Mohammed Bakri off the hook. Haaretz explains:
Judge Michal Nadav ruled that the film did in fact slander the soldiers; however, since the slander was directed against an entire group, individuals within this group did not have the right to file suit . . . .
The soldiers’ attorney, Amir Tytunovich, said the outcome was the best that could be expected from a public perspective since it determined that the film had been slanderous.
