Israel held then released Brad Lander and dozens of Americans, Israelis in West Bank : NPR

"We were on private Palestinian land. We were with the farmers whose land it is. There's no obligation to coordinate with the Israeli military," Lander told NPR and WBUR's Here & Now. "This was the IDF making it impossible for these poor Palestinian farmers to harvest their olive trees," he added, using the initials for the Israeli military… 

 "Let us be clear about what happened here: Rather than protecting Palestinian farmers and ensuring their right to work their own land, the Israeli military forcibly removed those who came to provide a protective presence," T'ruah CEO Rabbi Jill Jacobs said in a statement. "This is an outrageous abuse of power, and part of a systematic, state-backed campaign of ethnic cleansing aimed at driving Palestinians from their land," she said.

Jonathan Glazer says Israel’s retaliation over NAZA ‘more venal’ than anticipated

Since the film’s release, the Israeli government has denounced it and pursued those involved, announcing plans aimed at stripping citizenship from people who “smear” Israeli soldiers; accused NAZA’s co-directors, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, of treason; and ordered top legal and security officials to find and prosecute soldiers and officers interviewed in the documentary for causing “harm to Israel’s diplomatic and security interests”. 

Speaking to the Guardian’s editor-in-chief, Katharine Viner, at NAZA’s UK premiere in London on Thursday night, Glazer, who is an executive producer on the film, said he was “shocked into silence” the first time he watched NAZA, which is produced by the Guardian and details Israel’s mass killing of civilians in Gaza…
