October 7 Survivor Heckled at Film Premiere in Netherlands

Sabin Taasa, a survivor of the October 7 massacre who lost her husband and son in the attack, was met with jeers and shouts of "We don't care" and "Shame on you" during the European premiere of the film NAZA in Delft, Netherlands. Taasa had traveled from Israel to speak about her experiences and the events of October 7. When she attempted to address the audience about her family's ordeal, attendees began shouting, preventing her from continuing her speech, according to The Jerusalem Post.

Taasa confronted the filmmakers, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Shore, asking them to look her in the eye and questioning why their film focused on "collateral damage" without showing the Hamas perpetrators who killed her husband and son. She stated that her husband, Ghil Taasa, was killed by terrorists while shielding their two younger sons from a grenade, and her 17-year-old son, Or, was killed by Hamas terrorists on Zikim beach. Other children of Taasa were injured.

Taasa asserted that the filmmakers were profiting from the deaths of Israelis. She attended the event with Avichai Shorshan, CEO of the Israeli organization Ad Kan. Earlier in the event, Shorshan attempted to project documentary footage of the October 7 massacre onto the screen, but audience members allegedly interfered, leading to a confrontation.

Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom, reacted to the incident, calling the audience's response "astonishing callousness" and reminding them of Taasa's losses. Wilders later met with Taasa at the Dutch Parliament, reaffirming his support for Israel and the fight against Islamic terrorism.

The film NAZA, by Abraham and Shore, addresses the Gaza war and the actions of the IDF. In Israel, the film has faced significant criticism for its portrayal of the war and its depiction of the October 7 massacre and Hamas's actions.
