Interestingly, just a few days back, Nadav had said that he stands by his former remarks and maintained that he knew how to recognize propaganda disguised as a movie. "Making bad films is not a crime, but this is a very crude, manipulative, and violent propaganda film," the Israeli filmmaker had said.
