Miami Beach mayor targets local cinema for screening Oscar winner ‘No Other Land’

Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner is advocating to cancel the lease of O Cinema due to its screening of the documentary No Other Land, which he labeled antisemitic.
After Meiner's objections, O Cinema decided to show No Other Land anyway, and all screenings quickly sold out.

Meiner plans to hold a virtual town hall to discuss the issue, asserting that promoting antisemitism in a taxpayer-funded facility is against the city's values.
